#129: FAQs: Training to Failure, Lifting Heavy, Rest Between Sets, Training with Arthritis & What About Cardio?

In this episode, I’m answering five frequently asked questions that come up again and again in my programs, my inbox, and my DMs.

These questions cover the nuances of strength training in midlife, and I share practical advice to help you train smarter — especially if you're new to lifting or have unique concerns like arthritis.

You'll hear my take on:

• Do you really need to train to failure?
• How to know if you’re lifting heavy enough
• How long to rest between sets (and what not to do in your rest period)
• How to train if you have arthritis or joint issues
• Whether cardio is still necessary when you strength train

This episode is a great refresher for anyone wondering if they’re doing this “right” — or just looking to optimize their efforts.
