Summary

This week, Chase and Chris share powerful stories of women just like you who thought they’d never get stronger, feel confident in their bodies, or enjoy working out. But by taking small steps, focusing on strength training, and not trying to overhaul their entire life at once, everything started to change.

They talk about women who:

• Switched from group fitness classes to focused strength workouts

• Overcame years of low-carb dieting

• Found confidence in the gym for the first time

• Saw major changes by doing less — but with more purpose

This episode will show you how small changes and the right mindset can lead to big results, no matter your starting point.
