Episode 39: Why strength training is the most important thing you're not doing with Mark Breedon


Listen Later

Back with a guest on episode 39 and I’m talking with online strength coach for women Mark Breedon. 

Today we’re diving into approaching fitness and strength training from a weight neutral perspective and breaking down some of the big myths around lifting heavy weights. 

This conversation is candid and packed with a lot of topics that may challenge your beliefs around what it means to get strong: 

  • Why strength training can be about how you feel and what you have the capacity to do day to day rather than achieving a certain look
  • How you gain muscle and lose fat is often driven by genetics
  • Why shifting away from aesthetics can make the experience and process of building strength empowering and enjoyable
  • The incredible benefits of adding more muscle to your body and how we get comfortable with the scale
  • Why its actually incredibly difficult to “bulk up” from strength training
  • Why strength training is for every woman, at every age and how to get started
