Hailey Babcock is a strength trainer and fitness coach with one clear message for women who are nervous or uncomfortable with the idea of strength training: just start. For women over 40, the evidence shows that building and maintaining muscle mass is an essential part of disease and accident prevention, weight management and longevity. As the founder of Hailey Happens Fitness app, she shares practical tips to help you overcome the fear of lifting and start a foundational, safe and effective strength training program that works for you. Joined by co-host, Thrivelab Nurse Practitioner Angie McGough, NP, the two discuss overcoming gym intimidation, staying motivated, and the transformative impact of strength training when paired with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
