Most women have heard “you should be strength training” more times than you can count, but… what does that actually mean?

Especially when you’re postpartum, entering peri-menopause, navigating a busy season of life, or simply trying to get stronger without getting hurt.

We now have even more reason to pay attention. A recent Canadian study from the University of Calgary looked at women in peri- or early post-menopause and followed them through a 9-month progressive strength-training program. The research adds to a growing body of work on how resistance training can support muscle strength, lean mass, and bone health during this stage of life.

Strength training matters throughout our lives. Our bodies change. Our needs change. Pregnancy and postpartum change things. Hormonal changes change things. Ag(e)ing changes things. Our training should change with us, too.

The tricky part? Most people don’t know where to start.

So we do what’s easiest: open YouTube, save a few Instagram workouts, try whatever's trending, and hope for the best. But doing random workouts isn’t the same as following a structured strength program.

Your body needs the right exercises, appropriate loads, proper technique, recovery, and progression over time. That’s where periodized training comes in. Instead of simply doing more, we build strategically.

And because lifting weights without understanding proper form, choosing the wrong weight, or pushing through a movement that doesn’t work for your body can lead to unnecessary aches and injuries, knowing how to train is just as important as training itself.
​

That’s why I created the 6-Week Strength Foundations Series.

This small-group series takes you back to the basics and builds from the ground up.

Over six weeks, we’ll learn about fitness and health in a way that actually makes sense, starting with the foundations and gradually working our way up.

By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have a better understanding of:

• What proper form actually looks and feels like
• How to choose and progress your weights
• How to modify movements to make them work for your body
• Why structured, progressive training matters
• How nutrition supports your strength and recovery
• The role of lifestyle, sleep, stress and recovery in your overall health

Because I don’t want you to finish six weeks of workouts and stop. I want you to walk away knowing what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and feeling confident enough to keep going.
