Ep. 71 - Exercise for Aging Women Part 2
Today we are continuing our important discussion from last episode about the best types of exercise for aging women!
Last week we discussed the changes we go through as women as we age, why strength training is so important, the four types of exercise that are vital as we age and how to create a workout plan at home.
This week Jessica is answering listener questions she received after that episode, which include:
- How to lift weights with prolapse, knee pain and other injuries
- What plyometric workouts look like
- Is bodyweight exercise the same as lifting weights
And more!
Listen to this important episode for even more encouragement and education around how to exercise as women throughout our lifetimes in order to be strong, independent and vibrant.
