You’ve heard the message loud and clear: strength training is crucial in midlife. But when are you supposed to fit it in between work, parenting, errands, and maybe trying to sleep??
In this episode, Jessica talks with Judy Truong, a longtime fitness instructor and midlife mom who’s made it her mission to show that strength training can actually work with your life—not against it.

✔️What “progressive overload” really means
✔️The difference between strength and endurance training
✔️What exercises matter most for real-life function
✔️How to shift your mindset around fitness, especially if you feel like “it’s too late” or you “don’t have time”
Whether you’re brand new to strength training or trying to get back into a routine, this episode is packed with empowering tips and totally doable strategies. Grab your giant water bottle (or a wine bottle if that’s your current dumbbell of choice), and let’s get into it.
