Weight training for women over 50 can help you build muscle, maintain bone density as you age, and even help you lose weight.
As women get older, estrogen levels decrease, which leads to a drop in bone density. This means older women start to become more at risk for bone fractures. Weight training for women over 50 can combat this effect while also preventing the loss of muscle as you age. The benefits of strength training for females are numerous, but many women overlook strength training. Strengthening bones and building muscle for women is important for your long term health.
We recommend full body weight lifting twice per week.

This was amazing. You got another Sub!
love it
Enjoying watching your workouts. I am in my 60s, provided care for my father for 6 months, not working out but doing some heavy gardening during that time and I want to start you workouts but have three slipped disks in neck so need to eliminate or modify some exercises. Please advise. Thx…
I donβt know Iβm sitting at the gym waiting to do a workout and all they do is talk!!! Iβm about to go for a beer soon lol
You aren't getting the results that he showed at the end of the video only lifting 2 days a week. You also can't out train a bad diet.
I love it! I do not have the bench press though
My mother is 80. You have someting for her?
Thank you so much. I am 59 years old. I cannot hold the plank for 20 sec, but I did 10 ! I am going to continue with you. I am happy you are taking the time to help us older ladies.
Thank you. I especially like that this can be done at home. I quit gym membership two years ago and started lifting at home while I was caregiving. I found I could get serious weightlifting done at home – and choose my own music. I already had a weight bench, dumbbells and stretch bands. I needed the strength for caregiving and you'll find that your greatly improved strength will help out every day. I am over 50.
What is the weight of the dumbbells you suggest we start with?
Dr would you please tell us about exercise which is good for nerves system thank you
What should be the weight of the dumbbells? 0.5 will do?
The Fit Mother Project, is the best Christmas gift I have ever received. Thank you!
Hi! I'm 62 and very fit. (I was a gymnast when I was younger) This workout looks great. But I have arthritis in my lower back and my physical therapist said no more dead lifts for me. What other legs/hip exercise can I do instead? Thanks!
Iβm 45 and 43% body fat. I know I need to build muscle. I did the first 2 exercises yesterday, and I am burning in all those places today. Cardio stresses me out and lately I find walking boring. Happy to find this video. Looking forward to being sore, because I feel like Iβm actually making changes. Thank you!
This was so awesome to see. I am looking for ideas to help train my father, who is near to be 68 years old. I just subscribed to your channel, sure that i will learn good stuff. Thank you for taking the time to put this videos.
I just started with your weight training. You talked about increasing the weight to challange the body. You'd laugh, I started with 3lb and that's so heavy for me that I can force myself only to 8 reps. May be I'll graduate to 5lbs soon.
Thank you! Iβve been looking for this! 63 yr old runner but now I know I need strength training.. God send β€οΈ
This is very doable for me and I like that you encourage adding weight a little at a time to make the exercise more challenging. I appreciate the professionalism as well! Very refreshing.
Great core workout!ππΎππΎ
I am just coming across this video. Thank you so much for caring about our age group! I'd love to see more workout routines geared to 50+
Thank you so much coach! I saw this vedeo is good ..thanks From Bohol Phil..
Really informative
So impressed with this, a proper workout taking into consideration the needs of women over 50. I really appreciate it ππ½
First, thanks! Question..can I do chest press on the floor as I don't have a bench..knees up?
Thank you! I love this, just found your channel!
I am recovering from breast cancer and have been put on a med that depletes my bone density. This series is EXACTLY what I need to ensure I'm at least giving my body a good fighting chance! Thank you. And, by the way, my husband who is my cheerleader, is doing this with me. So for those who are negative about "for women" title – get over yourself. At least we are trying to be better, do better, while you take it personally, complain and waller in your own misery. Me? I'm so grateful to be alive and able to do this!!
And both my wrists are pretty painful. I need to do weight baring exercise per my doc's recommendations. But don't know how. Yours look very promising.
I am 66 and with knee and back problem. Is this set of exercise safe for me?
how many lbs in that dumbells?? I'm 48 yrs old.
I need some kettlebell options!!!
