The best time to start this was decades ago. The next best time is now, or you will surely regret it later:
Stay strong
After 30, women usually lose about 0.5% of muscle mass per year; around menopause, that loss can jump to 3% annually.
It’s not a guaranteed loss, but in the 4–5 years before menopause, fluctuating hormones make building muscle much harder, so starting early is big help if you’ve not already passed that point.
As for why it matters, an overwhelming weight of evidence from countless studies links higher muscle mass and regular strength training (2–3 times a week) to longer life and lower chronic disease risk, which is no surprise, since muscle supports metabolism, weight control, blood sugar regulation, joint protection, bone density, and injury prevention.
In short: start strength training now for future health, confidence, and resilience—prevention is better than cure.
