So that means I would have you put the 20 down and pick up those 30s and see, can you do six? Really good. Wow. Not failing form. And then could you eke out two more? Great. That's the weight that we want you to use. Gotcha.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because they respond well to metabolic stress. As our bodies get older, we need more of a central nervous system.

Yeah, but I don't want women who are listening to go, oh, I heard Mel's podcast and I have to go lift these heavy weights and do sprint training. It takes time to learn how to do things well without getting injured. Because, I mean, when we get older, we're more susceptible to soft tissue injury, joint injuries. So I always want women to learn how to move first.

So if you've never done any kind of strength training, don't be put off by, oh, I heard I have to lift heavy weights. I better not do it at all. No, any kind of resistance is good. Maybe it's just body weight at the start. Maybe you're doing a body weight circuit and then maybe you're putting a backpack with some stuff in there to make it a little bit heavier.

Maybe you're following somebody online that's teaching you how to move properly first. And over the course of time, you can add load because your body is learning how to move and it's becoming stress resilient. So you add load to increase that stress. And then over the course of six to eight months, you're going to be in lifting heavy weights and doing the sprints without injury.

So it's not a training block. Like we've all been conditioned to what do I do every day in and out, in and out so I can get X results. We want to think about what am I doing to improve my overall health, my strength, my bones, my brain, so that when I'm 80, I'm self-sufficient. When I'm 90, I'm self-sufficient. It's not a training block. It's a lifestyle that we want in.
