In recent years, the fashion and beauty industries have become more inclusive of different body types—or has it? Are all those lingering images and messages from the magazines of your youth still have you thinking skinny is good?
What your body really needs, though, is strength. New research shows a connection between strength training and longevity for women—but hitting the weights and eating to gain muscle mass isn’t an intuitive approach for most of us.
At this in-person event with women’s health expert Aeryon Ashlie, find out how you can get strong while gaining protection against numerous women’s health issues (like a broken hip!) as you age. Plus, your $5 ticket includes healthy snacks, a cozy beverage and a gift bag to take home with you. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn, connect, and treat yourself!
At this talk, you’ll learn:
-Why women in their forties and beyond especially need to eat and exercise for strength
-Ways women can build strength through resistance training and proper nutrition
-How increased muscle mass contributes to overall health, and improves metabolic function and longevity
-How strength training benefits your mental wellbeing
