Love your videos! And would like a request of that group Chat you had a while back of women over 40-50-60… to chat more about food meal prep suggestions, exe, etc! Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
This workout I really felt a day after, just did it again and will look into your other workout exercises. Great exercises, I enjoy how you explain each movement. Thank you, lets see more of your fluffy puppy. I have two dog's and when ever I get involved in a workout they pop up and have to get into the action.
Question: I'm 62 and newly retired. I've been taking your advice and focusing on incorporating strength trainIng into my weekly routine. I've been following you for a month. You've mentioned doing full body Strength Training 2 or 3 times a week. When would I do this type of training if I need to give my body recovery time between my full body (with weights). Thank you and I so enjoy your videos. 😊💪🏾
Monday and Thursday for example. I don't recommend split routine - this allows total recovery! and that means, fresh and more powerful training. Start with 2. If you're post menopause and want to add a 3rd day, do two heaviest days Mon and Fri, and a ligher day on Wed .. check in with your energy and soreness and determine what works best.
Hi again Debra. I’ve been watching your exercise videos again because I’ve come to a point (I’m 50) where I am limited in the weight I can lift. I have arthritis and bone spurs in both hands so heavy weight just isn’t possible for me anymore even though my muscles can lift it my hands suffer with sore pain lifting more than 10-12 pounds for upper or lower body. I don’t have the time to devote a ton of reps with light weight so I’m feeling super lost as to how to continue strength training with these limitations. Might you have any suggestions for women in my situation? I feel like if I cannot increase weight to where I will reach fatigue, that it’s useless for me to bother with weight training at all. Not a fun situation to be in but trying to remain open to options.
Thank you for the awesome exercises! Question: you mention doing a split schedule rather than full body would be hard to get enough volume. If I do full body one day a week and upper body and lower body splits each one day a week, how many sets of each muscle group would I need for there to be enough volume? For instance on an UB day I try to do 3 or 4 sets each of two different exercises each for chest, back, biceps, shoulders and tris. It does take a while but I really enjoy it. Maybe this isn’t enough?
The recommendations are 6-8 sets a week per muscle group, however that POSTmenopausal women my need MORE stimulus than that. So you could look at your routine and see if you're accomplishing that. You want the PER SESSION volume in order to have the BOOST of metabolism. Legs obviously are always going to trump upper body simply because of the size of those muscles, but if I were following your schedule I'd be sure I got at least 4- 6 sets per muscle group on the day it's only body part so I got the metab boost.
really feel at 66 years young my WOs need to change.always have WO but cant do the same WO as I did in my 30s n 40s. am trying to do more weights without pain, and walk 8 to 12 k a day . trying to do 20 to 40 min of weight 5 days a week .(mostly upper body). very bad knees and neuropathy in my toes and feet, also do omad one meal a day .around 5pm
Keep track of lean muscle mass to know if it’s working! That’s a lot of days of weights and no recovery ( when gains are made? And little fuel also contributes to loss of muscle.
So I would guess that doing a rowing machine counts as an arm workout? Would I maybe do this the same day as the rower machine workout, since I do that every other day? Really looking to focus on my arm development! Thank you!
You're definitely getting circulation to the arms. Depends on goals. If you feel the effort isn't as great if you row and do weights, then alternate. But warming up with rowing can enhance your circulation and support better results for your arms!
LOL! Nothing worthwhile is fast. Start with higher repetitions, progressively use weights with fewer reps to fatigue (see above) I also cover this in a recent video of it's own!
Use the sets/reps advice at the end to answer this! Start? 15-20 reps to fatigue. Progressively decrease repetitions. You need to find the weights that get you to fatigue… it’s not universal.
I don't on purpose... we don't have the same history, injury/health, and my heavy could be your light or vice versa. In resistance training the best is to get the # of repetitions and then determine what YOU need to fatigue at that level. 15-20 for beginning 12-15 ish for next progression 10 or fewer... 5-7.
This is excellent. Thank you so much. 🙏💙
I love this workout! Your shoulder/arm cut looks great! That's what I aspire to do! Thank you so much for sharing!
FLIPPIN 50 YOU LOOK GREAT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND TEACHING
4:54 ❤ this variation

Are you referring to the interview with female body builders? And are you asking for more like that?

Dogs life! So much more interesting that way!!
This was an excellent alternative to your other arm workout video. I feel it will really help me improve. Thanks for offering variety and challenge.
Lovely thank you for the demo and follow along style, really enjoyed it! sound is a bit tinny?
Good exercise thank you 😊
❤❤Debra, looking great!
Thank you!

You can alternate upper and lower every other day with a rest day in between
Great question. Thanks!

It's an option but I don't recommend it.

I enjoy your channel and thank you for your valuable content. The sound doesn’t come through well on my device though.
Sorry to hear that
Thank you for the awesome exercises!

Is there a workout for the arms without thickening the neck muscles
Not been asked that in 40 years. There’s no correlation between arm exercises and neck width documented.
Should each exercise be done 2X or treat like circut and repeat all the moves together twice?
Here, there's no need... the combination of the unique exercises targets the same muscle. So that would just be overkill.
Love those sneakers! 😊
Brand new to lifting. I know, I know I should not be worried about this. I'm 59. How can I get big guns? Lol Fast too?
LOL! Nothing worthwhile is fast. Start with higher repetitions, progressively use weights with fewer reps to fatigue (see above) I also cover this in a recent video of it's own!
How many pounds should I use?
Use the sets/reps advice at the end to answer this! Start? 15-20 reps to fatigue. Progressively decrease repetitions. You need to find the weights that get you to fatigue… it’s not universal.
Can you please put the kg weight you're using
