Why Strength Training Is Non-Negotiable

Cardio is fine. Lifting is mandatory.

The quick explanation
After 40, women lose 3–8% of muscle per decade without strength training. Muscle protects bones, regulates blood sugar, and keeps you independent for the long game.
Why this matters
Strength training is the single highest-ROI thing you can do for midlife and beyond. Period.
Tiny action step
Schedule 2 strength sessions this week. Bodyweight counts. Just start.
