Strength Training for Women Over 40: A New Online Solution
Chicago, United States – January 29, 2026 / Amanda Boike Fitness /
CHICAGO, Jan. 28, 2026 – Amanda Boike Fitness, a personal training practice located in Chicago, has unveiled Amanda Boike Fitness Online, an innovative strength-training platform tailored for women aged 40 and above who are just beginning their journey into resistance training. This program incorporates follow-along dumbbell workouts along with coaching cues, enabling participants to gradually enhance their strength and apply it effectively in their daily activities.
The introduction of this platform comes at a time when public health guidelines increasingly highlight the importance of strength training as a vital component of healthy aging, despite low levels of participation. According to the CDC, in 2022, only 22.5% of U.S. adults aged 25 and older met the federal recommendations for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities.
Why this is important now
Health information from the NIH indicates that muscle mass begins to decline naturally around the age of 30, with estimates suggesting a loss of approximately 3% to 5% per decade. This gradual decline can lead to diminished strength, which may impact daily functions over time.
The NIH National Institute on Aging advises engaging in muscle-strengthening activities at least two times a week, targeting major muscle groups, allowing for recovery between sessions, and gradually increasing resistance as comfort and skill develop.
What the platform aims to achieve
Amanda Boike Fitness Online is specifically designed to address common challenges faced by women embarking on strength training in midlife: uncertainty regarding the appropriate exercises, intensity levels, and safe progression. The workouts provide guidance on proper form and offer modifications to adjust the range of motion and difficulty, featuring a consistent weekly framework to encourage adherence.
