Train for your old lady body. She's counting on you.
A 4-week resistance protocol, sourced from clinical trial data — not a routine we made up. Spine and hip loading, progressive overload, 90–120 minutes a week.
Sources: Dr. Vonda Wright MD · Dr. Stacy Sims PhD · LIFTMOR trials (Beck et al.) · Zhang et al., BJSM 2026

Load Tracker
The key word is progressive. Same weight every week is maintenance — this is what building looks like.
Week 1 — learn the pattern
Optional companion
The Reps & Weights Tracker — so you know you're progressing
Log the weight. Watch it climb.
The programme tells you what to do. The tracker is where you write down what you actually lifted — and every page prints last week's weight next to this week's, so you never have to guess whether you're progressing or just repeating.
