For years, Dena Marienau had gotten used to not feeling good. She struggled with bloating, digestive discomfort, fatigue, brain fog, and what she described as inflammation.

Strong Is the New Skinny: Why Women Over 40 Need Strength Training to Feel Confident, Capable, and Independent

What if the secret to feeling better in your 40s, 50s, and beyond isn't about getting smaller—but getting stronger?

For years, women have been told to focus on the number on the scale. Lose the weight. Eat less. Exercise more. Get smaller.

But what happens when the weight comes off and you don't feel as strong as you'd hoped? Or when you're doing everything you think you should be doing, but your body just isn't responding the way it used to?

According to Coach Christi, a NASM-certified personal trainer and the strength-training coach behind VIP's Strong & Fit Foundations program, the answer isn't necessarily more cardio or another restrictive diet.

It's learning how to build and protect your strength.

At 43, Christi knows firsthand what it feels like to struggle with weight changes, even when you have years of fitness education and experience.

And today, she's helping women shift their focus from simply losing weight to building bodies that will support them for decades to come.
