40 MIN Full Body Strength Workout | Heavy Weights for Women 40+

This is a 40-minute full body strength workout built for women 40 and beyond who are ready to go HEAVY. We're working through 6 supersets (two moves each, back-to-back) using moderate to heavy dumbbells (12.5–40 lbs), plus a bone-density finisher with light jumping and push-ups to help stimulate bone strength. This session hits squats, chest press, RDLs, shoulder press, elevated lunges, reverse lunges, pull-overs, bicep curls, hip lifts, and tricep kickbacks — all compound, multi-joint movements that help you build and maintain muscle as we age, support metabolism, and keep your bones strong. Equipment: dumbbells (light to heavy), a bench, and a mat. Modifications are given throughout — go lighter, take longer rest periods if you fail before the timer, and always listen to your body. 💧 TODAY'S WORKOUT IS FUELED BY ECHO HYDROGEN WATER Recovery matters just as much as the workout. I'm using the Echo Water Flask for hydrogen water, which may help support recovery, reduce oxidative stress from training, and support sleep, gut health, and inflammation — all things that get harder to manage in perimenopause. 👉 Get yours: https://echowater.com/ Use code MICHELLEFIT for 10% off ⭐ Want workouts designed to get serious results?
