Starting strength training can feel overwhelming when you're not sure what exercises to do, how hard to work, or whether you're doing things correctly.
Strong Start After 40 gives you a simple place to begin — with practical coaching you can actually understand and use.
Short, practical lessons that take you from "I don't know where to start" to actually doing your first strength workouts.
Why strength training matters after 40, how much you actually need, and what your first few weeks should look like.
Learn squat, hinge, push, pull and carry/core using beginner-friendly examples.
Follow along with Andrew through your first simple full-body workout.
Learn how to challenge yourself without feeling like you're doing too much.
Learn how to use bands effectively and adjust your resistance.
Learn how to modify movements and work at your own level.
Put everything together with a second follow-along strength workout.
You don't need another complicated fitness plan. You need guidance that meets you where you are.
Understand the fundamental movements and how to put them together instead of guessing your way through random exercises.
Learn how to adjust movements and resistance so you can train according to your current ability and build from there.

I'm a personal trainer and the founder of Blakey Breakthrough.
I created Strong Start After 40 because I know how overwhelming it can feel when you're ready to start strength training but don't know where to begin.
My goal is simple: make strength training approachable, practical and something you actually feel confident doing.
You don't need to be fit before you start. You just need the right place to start.
