This is the exact same program that we run at our in-person Elevate location in Blaine, MN! We rotate this program every 3-4 weeks, so you get fresh new workouts automatically! Our founder (Teresa) uses this program as well, as we believe that it’s important to practice what we preach! She used to overtrain 6 days/wk with lots of cardio, but learned that females 35+ yrs old need to train different in their perimenopause years due to hormonal changes. The rep ranges are between 5-10 reps with 3 supersets (2 different lifts/moves per set). We integrate some pilates, yoga and physical therapy style moves to help with mobility and stability as we age and lose estrogen (a lubricating hormone), and also to reduce the risk of injury. 4-5 days of lifts/week, 2-3 days off (instead of lifting, focus on meal prep, family time, or anything that fills your cup emotionally & mentally. Inside the online program (in the app) there are videos demonstrating every move. Equipment needed: Squat Rack Barbell Plates Dumbbells Mini-Bands Bench (incline capable) Long Bands (no handles) Long Bands (with handles) TRX (suspension trainer) Ab Mat Step Riser Val Slides Lifting is SO important, but knowing how to lift, what to lift and how much to lift can often be confusing. Start with lower weight, and if you have good form, and it feels "easy", then increase your weight load. And no, you will NOT get "bulky" if you start lifting. As a woman, that is very difficult to do. You will however become stronger, be able to do more things around the house easier, improve health markers at the doctors, get a more toned physique, burn more calories at rest, build bone strength, increase neuroplasticity (strengthen your brain), aid your lymphatic system (yes, this is a thing and it's accomplished through lifting and movement), and the list goes on.
