Get more specific on training guidelines: Resistance Training: 1. Aim for 3-4 sessions per week of resistance training. 2. Focus on compound movements to build strength and muscle mass. 3. Sessions can last 45-60 minutes, particularly if focusing on high-effort sets to failure, which promotes strength gains and hypertrophy. High-Intensity Workouts: 1. Incorporate sprint interval training (HIIT) into your routine. This can be included once or twice a week, depending on your training goals, to boost cardiovascular health and develop muscle fibers. 2. Engage in activities that promote lactate production to support brain health and cognitive function over time, which is especially beneficial for women as they age.
