Description: Lifting heavy in perimenopause can feel intimidating, especially if you’re more comfortable on a treadmill than in the weight room.In this episode, I’m joined by midlife fitness expert Tracy Steen (Move Daily) to break down how women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond can build muscle safely, sustainably, and without burnout.We cover: • How to start strength training (without being too sore to move tomorrow) • The truth about “pink weights” • Protein targets that are actually realistic • Creatine, the pink tax, and what you really need • Why your future 70-year-old self depends on what you do nowStrength isn’t about aesthetics. It’s about longevity, bone density, metabolic health, and showing up strong for the life you want to live.Tracy's Instagram: @movedailyfitnessEnjoy 15% off Dr. Erickson's recommended peri/menopause skincare with code PAUSE15Instagram: @theskinpause & @drcorinneericksonWebsite: theskinpause.com
