Ever wondered if strength training is as beneficial for women as it is celebrated for men? Let me, along with the dynamo women of the CMD team – Tori, Dr. Joanne, Sarah, and Courtney – unlock the truth for you. We're crushing the old, tired myths and bringing to light the incredible long-term health benefits strength training offers women. From bolstering bone health and supporting muscle mass to keeping you sprightly through menopause and beyond, we've got the science and the stories to back it up. We're here to prove that age doesn't dictate your ability to start lifting weights and that building muscle is not just about looking good, it's about feeling empowered and ready to take on life's challenges.

In this heart-to-heart conversation, we share how strength training is the unsung hero for moms, providing the strength for everything from carrying toddlers to conquering the chaos of daily life. We tackle the bulky muscle myth head-on with personal anecdotes that celebrate strength over size, and we reveal how integrating strength training into your fitness routine can rev up your metabolism and support other exercises like cardio. Join us in this transformative journey as we redefine what it means to be a strong woman, or as we like to call it, becoming a 'mom 2.0'. Grab those weights, step into your power, and let's build a community where every woman's strength and confidence shine brilliantly.
