30. Strength Training Or Cardio - What's Right For Me?


Listen Later

It’s Amy here this week and I’m educating you on one of my favorite topics which is the difference between lifting weights and cardio. They both have their place but today we are diving into what the science says is best for us.


The reason we are really passionate about this subject is that there are a lot of misconceptions about lifting weights. Today I'm hoping to put people's fears at bay. Some women get nervous that they are going to get bulky from lifting and that’s just not true.


I explain the reasons behind why lifting won’t make you bulky, how the word toning is a marketing scheme, what happens to the body when cardio is the primary mode of exercise and so much more. We want people to be educated when they are making decisions about what their workouts look like. We hope that by listening to today’s episode everyone wants to add some strength training into their workouts. Your future self will thank you!


If you enjoyed this episode we would be honored if you left us a rating and review. It is how people find our podcast. So if this episode has brought some value to your life we would love your support.
