If you're working out consistently after 40 but still not seeing the results you expect, the problem probably isn't effort — it's strategy. In this episode, Brooke Davis breaks down how to train smarter in midlife, covering everything from warm-ups and ramp up sets to progressive overload and recovery, so your workouts actually work for your body instead of against it.

You'll Learn:

  • Why measuring workouts by calorie burn and soreness is keeping you stuck
  • What ramp up sets are and how to use them before your main lifts
  • How RPE and RIR help you train at the right intensity every session
  • What progressive overload actually looks like — and the multiple ways to apply it
  • Why deload weeks are essential for results, not optional
  • How your cool down supports hormones and recovery after 40
