Built for Women 40+ Who Are Done Guessing

This program is for women who want a clear, structured plan — not a random collection of workouts. If any of these sound like you, this was built for you.

💪

You want to get stronger without getting injured

The program uses smart progression — RPE-based loading, controlled tempo, and joint-friendly movement choices.

🔥

You want to lose fat and build lean muscle

Protein targets, plate-method nutrition, and resistance training designed to preserve muscle while reducing body fat.

🦴

You're thinking about bone health and longevity

Weight-bearing strength training, balance work, and calcium/vitamin D guidance specifically for women in midlife.

⏱️

You're busy and need something you can actually stick to

3 strength sessions per week, 35–50 minutes each, with optional conditioning add-ons. Fits real life.

FAQ

Do I need a gym or special equipment?
No. The program works at home or in a gym. Every exercise has a substitute using dumbbells, resistance bands, machines, or bodyweight. You choose what fits your setup.
How does the app unlock work?
After purchase, your PDF includes the unlock code STRONG40WOMEN. Go to app.bpfvirtual.org/strong-after-40.html, enter the code, and all 9 Women's guided workouts unlock instantly on your device. No account required.
I'm a beginner. Is this too hard?
No. Phase 1 is specifically designed for learning clean movement patterns at RPE 6–7 (easy to moderate). The program scales — every exercise has a beginner-friendly substitute, and you add reps before ever adding weight.
How is this different from the Men's program?
The Women's program includes bone-health and balance guidance, a greater emphasis on glutes and posture, women 40+ midlife coaching notes (including menopause and cycle tracking options), and a slightly different exercise selection for Workout A. The core structure — 3 phases, 9 workouts — is the same.
What's in the Plan Review bundle?
You get the full program plus a 1-on-1 session with Ken Hoyer to review the plan, answer your questions, and personalize it for your equipment, schedule, and goals before you start.
Can I do this if I'm going through menopause?
Yes. The program is specifically designed for women in midlife. Resistance training and weight-bearing activity are among the best evidence-supported strategies during this phase. The weekly check-in includes a menopause/cycle notes field. Consult your provider if you have specific medical concerns.
Is there ongoing coaching available?
Yes. After completing the program, you can apply for full virtual coaching with Ken — personalized plans, weekly check-ins, and direct access to the coaching hub.
