Strength Training: Why Women Over 30 Should Prioritize It Argentina-based fitness expert Alejandro Garcia recently highlighted the importance of strength training for women over 30. His interview, featured on Infobae, emphasizes the impact of age-related metabolic decline on women's health. Garcia stated, "Around ages 30-40, metabolic functions begin to decline, making strength training crucial." He recommends at least two, and preferably three, sessions a week, focusing on quality over time spent. The expert suggests various methods to suit individual fitness levels, from gym workouts with weights to bodyweight exercises. Garcia detailed the benefits of strength training, including improved muscle mass, reduced body fat, better health, and a decreased risk of diseases. He also addressed concerns about it being too late to start, citing studies on women over 90 who experienced improvements in muscle mass and overall health through strength training and healthy eating. Garcia concludes, "I inform, I don't force." His message underscores the significant role strength training plays in maintaining health and well-being for women of all ages.
