The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults get at least <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/resources\/2020-2025-dietary-guidelines-online-materials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">150 minutes of exercise weekly<\/a>, and 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week<\/strong> to achieve more extensive health benefits.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Which Workouts Should I Choose?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best workout routines for women over 40 are those you change regularly. In other words, avoid doing the same workout day after day \u2013 especially two days in a row.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/stock-image-143353509-m-2015-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"workout plan - best weight loss program for women\" width=\"352\" height=\"234\" \/>While cardiovascular exercise is important for women over 40, resistance training is equally beneficial to maximize your health and burn fat.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because muscle mass tends to decline with age, but is what keeps your metabolism high and your body shape defined.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of resistance training workouts include using your own body weight, lifting weights, and using resistance bands.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Many Sets and Reps Should I Do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The number of sets and reps you should complete if you\u2019re over 40 depends on your fitness goals. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) provides the following sets and reps recommendations for resistance training in adults:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To <strong>build strength, <\/strong>ACSM recommends doing <strong>2 to 6 sets of 8 \u2013 12 reps<\/strong> with <strong>1 \u2013 3 minutes of rest<\/strong> between sets.<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>boost muscular endurance<\/strong>, ACSM suggests completing <strong>2 to 4 sets of 10 \u2013 25 reps<\/strong> with <strong>30 &#8211; 60 seconds of rest<\/strong> between sets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good rule of thumb is to aim for<strong> 3 \u2013 5 sets of 10 to 20 reps<\/strong>, and gradually increase your weight to boost strength and muscle definition.<\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"11296\" class=\"elementor elementor-11296\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fb8f687 option-banner elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fb8f687\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f91548\" data-id=\"9f91548\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ca855d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8ca855d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Join <em>Fit Mother For Life<\/em> \u2014 The #1 Fitness Community For Busy Moms 40+<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64266ae elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile_extra elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"64266ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"192\" height=\"12\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/long-arrow.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11293\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1387405 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1387405\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/join.fitmotherproject.com\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">JOIN NOW \u00bb<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2><strong>Fat-Burning Workout Routines for Women Over 40<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The following are examples of fat-burning workout routines for women over 40 that yield fast results, without taking up a lot of time from your day.
