Burke, who turned 53 in September, has added compound exercises and heavier weights to her exercise program. Women tend to shy away from the latter.
The reason I want to talk about this right away is that most ladies are terrified of big weights. Additionally, there’s a misconception that we’ll become clumsy. False.

It causes hormonal changes. It increases your metabolic rate. It forges strength. You can get more coordinated as a result, enabling us to achieve other things.
