Frequently Asked Questions

Am I too old to strength train?
The ability to strength train is not based on chronological age. A person, of any age, can strength train. I have people in my classes who are in their 90s. Beginning at the age of 30, if we don’t exercise, we loose about a pound of muscle per year. That’s 10 pounds of muscle a decade! By adding strength training to your exercise routine, you will maintain your muscle mass or even add to it as you age.

Will I get bulky muscles?

No. In order to get bulky muscles, you would need to use very heavy weights and work out for much longer than this DVD. If you are a woman, you won’t have enough of the male hormone, testosterone to build bulky muscles easily. What you will get from this DVD is nicely toned, stronger muscles, and more energy throughout the day.

How long will it take to see the effects of strength training?
Most people will be able to see the effects of strength training within 4 to 6 weeks. And, you will feel better and have more energy after the first workout.
