In This Episode:

From Aly: I misspoke at about 18:09 in the podcast. I refer to an exercise as a “shoulder bridge” when I should have said “hip roll.” Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about this section.

In this episode of Aly DiRoma makes a strong case for why modifications aren’t a fallback—they’re a superpower. She reframes the often-misunderstood concept of modifying movement, showing how small shifts can completely transform an exercise, amplify results, and keep the body supported in every season of life.

She shares why modifications can both ease discomfort and crank up the challenge, why they’re essential for accessibility, and how they open the door to greater empowerment and choice in movement..” Listeners walk away with a fresh perspective: that tailoring an exercise isn’t about doing “less,” but about honoring what their body needs right now—and discovering new layers of strength, connection, and possibility.
