Why Strength Training Matters After 40
Hitting your 40s doesn’t mean slowing down, it means training smarter. At this stage of life, muscle mass naturally declines, recovery takes longer, and joint health becomes more important. Strength training, especially strength training over 40, is the single most powerful way to stay fit, independent, and confident.
At Live Well Health & Fitness Studio, our Strong & Fit Blueprint is designed specifically for 40+ bodies. It blends science-based programming with individualised coaching to keep you strong for decades to come.
The StrongFit Training Framework
Phase 1 — Build Solid Foundations
We start with core movement patterns: squats, hinges, pushes, and pulls. These lay the groundwork for safe progress and confidence in everyday activities, crucial for strength training over 40.
Phase 2 — Progressive Overload, Done Safely
Once movement quality is locked in, we gradually increase weights, resistance, or reps carefully matched to each client’s ability, considering the specific needs of strength training over 40.
Phase 3 — Longevity Add-Ons
Balance, core, and mobility drills are built into each session. This ensures strength carries over into daily life, from lifting groceries to climbing stairs.
