Want Some Weight Tips From Experts?

We sat down with Terri Marucci, owner of Perfect Form Personal Training Studio that has specialized in personalized strength training for over 20 years with a focus on peri and postmenopausal women. Here is some advice she shared for adding consistent strength training. 

Adding strength training or any new health habit consistently into our hectic lives is not easy. Here are some tips:

• Start small but focus on consistency and build from there

• Complete it first thing in the morning so life does not get in the way

• Find a friend to buddy with, if not doing the workout together, keeping each other accountable

• Hire a personal trainer or coach to make sure your efforts are doing what you need them to do

• Incorporate into your daily routine, if you have to take your child to practice, can you fit it in while you wait? If you have errands to run, is it possible to build bursts of exercise in? Run between stores, lift the bags while carrying to your vehicle, etc.

• Break it up into shorter workouts and complete throughout the day

• Drop the 'all or none' mindset. As women, we often think if we cannot complete something fully or perfectly, we should not do it all that day. If life has hijacked your workout, aim for a short do it where you are workout.
