83: Kaisa Keranen: Stop Chasing Aesthetics—Train for Strength & Watch What Happens


Listen Later

Let’s be real, how often do you actually warm up before a workout? Or focus on mobility? Or train for strength instead of just trying to change how your body looks?

If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sitting down with Kaisa Keranen, a coach, trainer, and movement expert who’s on a mission to change the way people think about fitness.

We’re covering why mobility is essential for strength, injury prevention, and longevity, and how neglecting it could be holding you back. We’ll also break down the truth about lifting weights, especially for women who fear getting bulky (spoiler: it won’t happen overnight). 

We’ll also dive into how to build confidence through movement, shift your mindset around training, and uncover the real key to consistency, one that goes beyond just relying on motivation.

Plus, Kaisa will share her journey from athlete to trainer, why she’s obsessed with jiu-jitsu, and how to stop seeing movement as punishment and actually start enjoying it. 

Kaisa Keranen is a renowned fitness coach, founder of Just Move, and a passionate advocate for making movement accessible and enjoyable. With a background as an athlete, Kaisa specializes in empowering individuals to move better, feel stronger, and enjoy the process. 

Trust me, this episode is packed with wisdom, let’s jump in.
