Why Strength Training Matters for Women—At Every Age

If you’ve ever thought strength training “isn’t for you,” think again. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, picking up some weights can be one of the best things you do for your body and mind.

In your 20s, strength training lays the groundwork. You’re building muscle, increasing bone density, and boosting your metabolism—setting yourself up for long-term health. Plus, it’s empowering to feel strong in your own skin.

In your 30s, life gets busy. Work, kids, and responsibilities pile on, and your energy can take a hit. Strength training helps you manage stress, stay strong, and hold on to precious muscle as your metabolism starts to shift.

In your 40s and beyond, strength training becomes non-negotiable. It helps prevent muscle loss, supports joint and bone health, and keeps you doing the things you love—whether that’s hiking, chasing after kids/grandkids, or just feeling good in your body.

Strength training isn’t about “bulking up”—it’s about building a body that supports the life you want to live. No matter your age, it’s never too early—or too late—to start.
