Wednesday — Ask Bobbie:
Bobbie, I’m in perimenopause. Should I start lifting heavy?”
“Heavy” is relative.
I don’t care whether the dumbbell says 15, 40 or 100 pounds.
I care whether the resistance is challenging for you, whether you can perform it safely, and whether we’re progressively asking your body to adapt.
Because picking up a pink three-pound dumbbell 50 times simply because you’re in menopause isn’t a physiological requirement.
“If you’re brand new, we’re not testing your one-rep max tomorrow.”
“If you’ve trained for 20 years, I’m also not making you start over because you turned 45.”
“Meet the woman where she is. Then build.”
