EP 139: Hey, midlife ladies, are you staring down at your weights like they’re judging you? Or maybe you’re still convinced that picking up a dumbbell will turn you into a pro bodybuilder overnight?

I get it—figuring out how to build strength in midlife can feel like one more chore we don’t have the energy for. But what if I told you that strength training might just be the key to unlocking your midlife energy, confidence, and longevity? As you know, I call it the “dumb and necessary weights”. It is one of my midlife hard and goods. Spoiler alert: it is.

In this week's episode of Flexible Neurotic Podcast, I’m chatting with Annie Murray, a badass 54-year-old fitness trainer from the UK who didn’t even start her weightlifting journey until she turned 50. You heard me…

Annie is living proof that it’s never too late to pivot and go all-in on your health. We dive into all things food and weightlifting in midlife: why building muscle is basically your midlife insurance policy, how to stop overcomplicating nutrition, and why starting small and staying consistent is the secret sauce.

Annie Murray is a certified personal trainer, fitness coach, and creator of a fitness app designed for women who want to build muscle, lose fat, and feel amazing in midlife. With a background as a software engineer turned fitness expert, Annie has inspired thousands on Instagram with her relatable, no-BS approach to health and strength. Her mission? To show women everywhere that it’s never too late to start—and that lifting weights isn’t scary, it’s empowering.
