And if you don't keep that going through this 40s, 50s, 60s, when you get to 70 and 80, you're not going to have a great end of your life.

I am firmly postmenopausal, and I am doing all these things.

But it's different.

In Lift More, the authors describe the one rep max.

And so one rep max is like safely, what is the heaviest you can do one rep?

So for a bicep curl, what is the heaviest weight I can do?

I'm going to fail after this one.

And for me, that was about 20 pounds.

With good form.

Exactly.

Safely with good form.

And so I could nail 20.

And so then they took them down to about 70, 80% of that, which for me was about 15, 16 pounds.

So that you can usually do about five reps before you hit failure.

And that is what they consider lifting heavy.

And that seemed to really resonate with my followers to understand what that meant.

I think what's different for women, especially in menopause, is because we're also taking care of our parents in so many ways.

We're in this like raising kids, going through our own hormonal upheaval, and then watching our mothers, our grandmothers, our aunts age.

And the way society is set up, women become the caretakers of their parents, generally the oldest daughter.

And I have to give full credit to my sister who lives in the same town as my mom and as a nurse.
