Progressive Overload Isn't Optional After 40 (Here's Why Your Workouts Stalled)

If your workouts are exactly the same as they were six months ago, that's probably exactly why your results have stalled. In this episode, Casey breaks down progressive overload in plain terms, the tool she uses to actually teach it to her clients (RPE, or rate of perceived exertion), and why so many women unknowingly train the same way for months or years without ever building in real progression.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What progressive overload actually means
• Why RPE (rate of perceived exertion) is the key to knowing if you're truly progressing
• The most common reasons progression gets skipped, especially after 40
• Why a harder day and fewer reps at the same RPE isn't failure, it's your body doing exactly what it's supposed to
• Why muscle and bone density make this non-negotiable at this stage of life
• How Fall Back to Fitness builds progression into every single week, so you never have to guess
