Episode Highlights: Why finding the right progression timing is crucial for midlife womenHow to balance hormonal changes with strength progressionReal-life success stories from women who recognized their readiness to level up The 3 Key Signs You're Ready to Progress: Your current workouts feel too comfortable - When exercises no longer challenge you and you complete all sets and reps with ease, it's time to increase difficulty.Your recovery is on point - When you bounce back quickly from workouts without lingering soreness or fatigue, your body is ready for more.Everyday activities feel easier - When real-world tasks that once challenged you now feel manageable, your fitness has improved and can handle progression.
