Carol Covino is the CEO of Covino Fitness and creator of Fit and Fierce, a program for women over 40 who want to gain lean muscle and balance their hormones naturally through nutrition and exercise. In our conversation, Carol explains why strength training is so crucial for longevity and shares her tips for creating an exercise routine at any age and fitness level.
Carol originally started exploring weightlifting as a way to transform her body, but after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in her early 50s, her perspective on exercise radically shifted. Instead of focusing on looking fit, Carol turned to strength training as a way to improve her quality of life as she ages.
Carol describes how her intention and sense of presence impacted her approach to strength training. She highlights ways to achieve a balance of speed, power, residence, and endurance without spending hours in the gym. Carol also maps out exactly how to get started or advance your current strength training circuit.
Listen in to learn more about the importance of strength training as we age.
