"If I lift weights, I'll get bulky.""Pilates will give me that long and lean look.""I can't build muscle AND do the workouts I actually enjoy."

Girl, WHO told you that?

Because the Pilates vs strength training debate is exhausting, but we're cutting through the BS.

Here's what we're covering:

• The research on Pilates (yes, it's legit for back pain, core strength, and balance)
• Where Pilates falls short (and what you're missing out on if you skip)
• How much strength training you actually need to see change
• How to build your "movement menu"—main course (strength), foundation (steps), and toppings (the fun stuff you love)
• Real talk: you have room for Pilates AND strength training if you prioritize the non-negotiables first

Movement should feel good AND change your body. It doesn't need to be one or the other.
