363. Stalled Progress - Is Lifting Slow & Heavy the Answer?


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like your workouts have kinda stalled out? But what’s the most effective way to get out of a rut and start seeing progress?

Gina finds herself in this same situation: “Hi, Megan. In a recent podcast episode, you had a guest talk about spending less time at the gym, but doing heavier weightlifting and fewer reps. I was wondering what that might mean for someone who is 63 and has been doing weightlifting, but not really increasing my weight.”

Ooh, Gina, I love this question!

In this shortie episode, we’re going to talk about Progressive Overload - what it is, how to do it, and why it’s a fitness game changer! As always, you’ll leave with specific ways to adjust your workouts to make them work the best for you!

💥Taking listener questions!!! Do you have a question about your self-care that you need help with? Just head to www.vigeofit.com/ask to submit your question, and I’ll answer it for you on an upcoming Friday episode.
