Dr. Stacy Sims: Female-Specific Exercise & Nutrition for Health, Performance & Longevity

Okay, well, we look at the quality and how that fits into your training. So if you're training for a marathon, you're training for a triathlon or other endurance stuff, you can take that high intensity work and put it into your training program. So ideally, we look at three to four resistance training with really good movement when we're in the younger set with two high intensities.

When we start getting into our 30s, we start having an eye to how are we actually doing that resistance training. Instead of just going and doing a circuit, we're really focusing on let's do some compound movements. Let's look at doing some heavier work. Let's look at how we are periodizing. So we're having six-week blocks and we're building on those blocks because we want that base foundation.

So when we get to be 40 plus, we can actually go and do our power base training. If you're in your 40s, you've never done resistance training at all, then we take between two weeks to four months to really learn how to move well because there's a higher incidence of soft tissue injury and overall injury as we get into our 40s because of perturbations of estrogen.

And ideally when we get there, we're looking at that around three, minimum three resistance training with compound movements and either one sprint interval or two sprint intervals and one hit in a week.

Yeah, what works for them. If you're looking for a short amount of time in the gym because of busy lives, then you can split it. If you're looking at, okay, well, I can allocate an hour to an hour and a half in the gym, then you can do total body with adequate rest. The key when you're younger is working to failure. The key when you're older is working heavy. Interesting. Yeah.

So when we're looking at working to failure, we're trying to get more of that lean mass growth with strength. When we get older, because it's so difficult to put on lean mass, we really want to focus on the strength component first. because that becomes more important when we're talking about longevity.

Because if you're looking at the strength component from a central nervous system standpoint, we see it feeds forward into better proprioception, attenuation of cognitive decline. And this is the other thing that you in neuroscience would understand, the sex differences in things like dementia and Alzheimer's.
