Why Strength Training Is a Non-Negotiable for Weight Loss After 35


4 min read

If you’re over 35 and trying to lose 20-30 lbs, you’re probably cutting calories, maybe hitting the treadmill, or trying that new diet everyone’s talking about. But there’s one game-changer you’re likely overlooking: strength training.

I’m not talking about becoming a bodybuilder or spending hours in the gym. I’m talking about a simple, powerful way to transform your body, boost your confidence, and make weight loss easier.

Here’s why strength training is non-negotiable for busy professionals like you.

After 35, your body starts losing muscle—up to 3-8% every decade if you don’t step in. Less muscle means your metabolism slows down, you feel hungrier, and you don’t have that same energy to crush it at work or home. Strength training flips the script. It builds muscle, burns fat even when you’re relaxing on the couch, and keeps you feeling strong, not sluggish.

Science backs this up.

A 2024 study found that lifting weights cuts hunger by 10% by boosting hormones that tell your brain you’re full.

Another study showed that people over 35 who strength train lose 15% more fat than those who only diet. This isn’t just exercise—it’s your ticket to a leaner, more confident you.

So why do so many skip it? Mindset.

You might think strength training is too hard, too time-consuming, or just not for you. Let me bust that myth: you don’t need fancy equipment or endless hours. A 20-minute session, 3 times a week, can change everything. Start with something simple: 10 squats, 10 push-ups, 10 lunges, repeat 3 times. You’ll feel empowered, not exhausted, and you’ll start seeing your body as a tool for success, not a barrier.

Here’s the truth: you could spend months Googling workouts or piecing together a plan that might work. Or you could learn from someone who’s been there, done that, and helped others do the same.

That’s where I come in. I’ve walked the path from struggle to success, and I’ve built a proven way to help busy pros like you lose weight without the guesswork.

Am I pitching my coaching? You bet. Our system is for those ready to commit to results, just like you commit to your career and your family. It’s hands-on, science-backed, and built for your life. Got someone else you trust to guide you? Awesome, go for it. But if you’re done with trial and error, I’m your guy. [Click below to learn more.]

You’re not too busy. You’re not too old. You’re just one decision away from feeling stronger, leaner, and ready to take on anything. So, what’s holding you back from trying strength training this week? Reply and let’s tackle that excuse together.

4 min read Hey there, When I started my journey to lose 127 lbs, I wasn’t exactly sprinting toward the finish line. I was a guy showing up at a local park, walking laps, feeling like I was barely making a dent. Day one? No big change. My jeans didn’t magically fit better, and the scale didn’t budge much. But deep down, I had this quiet realization: if I just kept putting one foot in front of the other, showing up every day, something would shift. And man, did it ever. That emotional...
