Lifting Heavy Is the Most Feminine Thing You Can Do: Strength Training in Menopause
About this episode
Jason Cook discusses the importance of strength training for women in menopause, challenging societal norms and myths around fitness.
For a generation of women told to stay small, stay light, and stick to cardio, picking up a heavy barbell feels like breaking a rule. In this episode, Jason Cook makes the definitive case for why strength training is not just beneficial for women in menopause — it's essential. He dismantles the myths, addresses the fears, and reframes lifting as one of the most powerful acts of self-preservation a woman over 40 can choose.
