The Basics — 6-week foundation program for women over 40The Basics6-week foundation program

The Basics is the program for every woman in her 40s, 50s, and 60s who wants to begin a strength program. It's a six-week introduction to the movement patterns that protect your bones, joints, and posture for the years to come — taught from the ground up. You'll train twice a week for 25 to 30 minutes. Each workout pairs short demonstration clips with longer deep-dive tutorials, so you learn how to move well before you ever try to move heavier. By the end of six weeks, you'll have the form, the vocabulary, and the confidence to keep training.

  • You've never lifted weights, or it's been years since you have
  • You've tried random workouts and want a real plan that builds on itself
  • You want to protect bone density, balance, and joint health as you age
  • You're returning to training after a long break

Bone density & joint protection

Resistance training is the most evidence-backed intervention for preserving bone mineral density through perimenopause and beyond.

Posture & everyday capability

Standing taller, lifting groceries, getting up off the floor — the kind of strong that shows up in your real life.

Confidence under load

Learn what each movement should feel like before you add weight. No more guessing.

A real plan that progresses

Six structured weeks that build on each other, so nothing feels random or wasted.

  • Two strength workouts per week, structured to give your body time to adapt and recover
  • Each session is 25–30 minutes — six exercises, demonstrated step-by-step
  • Short 7–15 second demo clips for quick reference, plus 45–90 second deep-dive tutorials
  • Structured progression so you build on knowledge and capability gained in previous workouts
