    You’ve probably heard that your metabolism slows down as you age, and that's why you're gaining weight. But is that actually true?

    Tune in to learn:

    • The four key components of your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)

    #102: Combo vs. Compound Exercises: Which are better for building muscle in midlife?
    Jan 21 2025

    All workouts with weights are NOT created equal.

    The internet is filled with free workouts that feature combo exercises - and women are wild about them - BUT are they the best way to build muscle?

    Unfortunately not.

    In this episode of 40+ Fitness for Women podcast, I explain the difference between combo exercises and compound exercises - and why one is FAR SUPERIOR to the other when it comes to building and maintaining muscle.
