I’m glad you and Luca are out safe and you’re with people that love you. From your post in sounds as though you were in an abusive situation for years, please take care of your mental state, following back into negative relationships can actually be easy when you’ve become accustomed to the...

Thanks, I completely agree.

I’m seeking to build more muscle and I’ve been working one body part a week for a while o think I may get better results by switching up and working each body part twice a week. I should say it doesn’t have to be with Cathe’s workouts.

Thanks I do like the line up. I’m at an age where I’m really trying to build and hold onto muscle.

Thanks, those are some options.

Does anyone here have a weight program they follow that works each body part twice a week? I think I may get better results that way.

I appreciate your viewpoint as well. It helps to have a variety of experiences shared.

Lack of sleep is a problem for me and I do know how important it is.

Look at you! Good going. I have a layer of fat around the waist, it’s not huge but you don’t need it to be when it’s around your waist. I think I need to switch things up and try lower reps for a while.

I agree wholeheartedly that as I’ve gotten older it is harder to build and keep muscle. Nutrition and hormonal balance is also a huge component, I think at times we forget the hormonal balance equation.

Thanks. I have not read her book. I’ve seen her on several different podcasts via YouTube. She did not say in those podcasts that her recommendations were for athletes just perimenopausal or menopausal women. She did mention that she loves going for long bike rides along with adding the...

I agree one size does not fit all.

Has anyone else been seeing information that once you hit menopause you should only be hitting 8 reps at max for hypertrophy? There’s a Dr. Stacy Sims who seems very knowledgeable and is menopausal. She says that because of how our bodies have changed that rep range is the most beneficial...

I have nothing to contribute other than I wish you the best and I wonder if there was another factor involved regarding the Osteoporosis? Especially considering your history with working out.

Good for you for checking into that. Focus on you and Luca.

Congrats! You have so much to be proud of. Continue to focus on what you need and try to stay steady. Like you said, one step at a time, one day at a time. I’m sure you’ll get a job soon. In the meantime be good to yourself.

Way to go!! Making a better future for you and Luca.

Good for you! You are pushing through and it sounds like you are enjoying the process. I’m so glad you still have Luca. Never underestimate the love of an animal. They show love in such an unconditional way. Stay strong for you and Luca. Things are changing for you and I’m very glad.

So happy for you! Keep your head up and just stay in motion. It’s nice to hear good news.

I wonder if when you least expect it you’ll get multiple job offers? You’ve certainly put out enough applications. I hope your husband realizes before it’s too late that the situation is dire. It’s got to be tough to feel so alone. All I can say is keep moving forward. Doing what you can...
