The Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40

Strengthen what are the common problem areas of the lower body for women over 40 with this all-levels strength workout.

DAY 3 – FIT IN 15 CHALLENGE

While this Best Leg Workout for Women Over 40 is totally self-proclaimed, it is programmed to hit all those areas that need to be hit once we have 40 and beyond.

We work balance and the core muscles through the special use of certain movements in this workout, while also hitting the hamstrings, glutes and glute med muscles – common offenders when it comes to weak muscles of the legs.

If you stick around until the very end of the video I explain my step-by-step process of why I programmed these moves, and how they will help the over 40 body.
