I run 3x/week, weight lift 2x/week, and if I have extra time and energy for it I’ll also do something just for fun like hiking or step aerobics. I enjoy cardio a lot more than weight lifting, but have accepted that I need to be doing some form of strength training to maintain my health as I age.

I’m about to start stage 4 of new rules of lifting for women, so about 16 weeks in. It’s been a few years since I’ve followed a weight lifting program, and so far this has been a good beginner’s program that’s been easy to adapt to a home gym and a 2x/week schedule. There’s another 16 weeks to go and I am finding that I am feeling excited to move on to something new. I might try Sohee’s Year of Strength 2.0 next.
