Ep 20: Secret Weapon Strength Exercises


Listen Later

In my many years of experience, I've learned a few extra special exercises that are particularly powerful for women. I like to call them my secret weapon strength exercises because they are super effective for building up your strength, function, and overall conditioning. So, if you feel like you're constantly working out but not seeing the results you want, this episode is for you! 

Today, I highlight my top three secret weapon strength exercises! I explain their research-backed benefits, share my expert advice for avoiding common mistakes when practicing, and teach you step-by-step how to perform and master them. Now, I'll be honest—mastering these exercises takes time and dedication. But trust me, it's so worth it! The sooner you start learning, the stronger you'll be in the long run!
