LIVE Strength Training My Wife - Air Squats, Arms - 30 Minute Workout

This video is part of the Get Up Earlier video library by Michael Baker, an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, ISSA Certified Running Coach, IIN Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Yoga Alliance RYT 200 who works exclusively with adults 40 and older. Latest marathon: Hartford 2026, 3:18 at 7:34/mi, a Boston qualifying time at age 51. Next goal: 3:10 at the NYC Marathon in 2027. Every video on this channel is filmed from his real coaching practice in Orange, Connecticut. New strength, nutrition, and marathon-training videos are published weekly, and they are designed to give the over-40 lifter and runner the practical, no-fluff context that generic YouTube fitness content almost never bothers to include.
Join my 30-minute strength training session, where I work with Erica, age 46, 110 lbs, and 5'1", as she prepares to start barbell squats by beginning with air squats. We focus on arms and include two dedicated sets of incline dumbbell presses to rebuild her shoulder strength as it continues to heal.
Despite what many women fear, lifting weights didn’t turn Erica into the Incredible Hulk, make her bulky, or cause any injuries. Women often approach strength training differently than men, gravitating toward cardio, yoga, or machines. But the truth is, strength training is essential for maintaining muscle, strengthening bones, and promoting overall health as we age to ward off frailty.
Think about it-what can you do today to ensure you’ll be able to carry your grandkids, lift groceries, open jars, or sit and stand unassisted in the future? It’s an important investment in yourself, no matter if you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or older.
Join me in training and learn how to build strength.
