[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 40, been overweight my whole life. My goal right now is just to get stronger so I’m doing personal training plus a group class three times a week.

When will I first notice a difference? I know it’s a very long term goal but trying to set my expectations correctly and I just have no idea how soon I would see any noticeable change especially at my age. [/quote]
Dear op is you are into this just to get stronger, what difference are you trying to see? That you can lift 30 lbs instead of 10?[/quote]

Op here. I want to to be easier to get up off the floor from playing with my kids. Less stiffness after sitting on the floor with them. Better flexibility. Things like that.[/quote]
Adding in Pilates can really help with your goals. I am in my late 50s and saw increased flexibility in my joints and muscles within a couple of months of starting Pilates. I have worked on strength training with a trainer in the past. I found Pilates to help more with the stiffness of aging. I am not knocking weights. I do a bit of that too.[/quote]
