#20: Why Women Shouldn't Fear Lifting Weights With Kerry


Listen Later

I am joined by Kerry from @kclfitness for this week's episode to discuss a topic we are both very passionate about and that is getting more women into resistance training (and loving it!).

We discuss:

  • Fat loss as a goal in the gym
  • Kerry's career in Personal Training
  • Our experience with female clients' attitude towards lifting
  • Perceptions of building muscle
  • Kerry's experience with muscle gain and weight training
  • Where our fears about gaining muscle came from 
  • How these feelings have evolved
  • The word 'bulky'
  • Training to tone up vs to build muscle 
  • Gym anxiety / fearing the weights section 
  • Benefits of weight training
  • Benefits for menopausal women 
  • Training around our period

If you have any questions or just want to chat, my DMs are always open on Instagram! @jazlifts
