199. Feeling Puffier After a Work Out? Here’s Why!


Listen Later

In this episode, Andrea tackles a common concern many have after starting a strength training routine: feeling bigger or puffier after lifting weights. She breaks down the science behind this sensation, explaining how factors like water retention, increased blood flow, and muscle inflammation contribute to these feelings. Andrea will reassure you that this puffiness is a temporary and normal part of the muscle-building process and encourages them to stay consistent with their workouts for long-term benefits. She also shares practical tips on hydration, nutrition, and core engagement to help minimize these effects.
