In this episode, I’m sitting down with fitness professional and founder of AJ’s Personal Training here in St. Pete, AJ Wiggins, to talk about something that becomes more and more important as we age — resistance training.

Because this isn’t just about building strength. It’s about supporting coordination, balance, endurance, power, agility, and metabolic efficiency — so we can move well, feel capable, and age gracefully.

And yet, so many women have been taught to fear lifting weights, rely on cardio, or believe it’s simply too late to start.

AJ brings over 15 years of experience working with women — especially in their 40s and beyond — and what I love about her approach is how supportive and sustainable it is. It’s not about doing more… it’s about building resilience in a way that actually fits your life.

In this conversation, we explore:

1. Why resistance training matters so much in midlife
2. The truth about “getting bulky”
3. How it supports hormones, metabolism, and longevity
4. What actually helps women stay consistent

This episode feels like both an invitation and a reminder — whether you’re just getting started, or you’ve been on this journey and want to reconnect with what matters.

Resistance training is something you can build and keep building. And it has the power to support you in living a strong, capable, and fully present life. 💪
