April 15, 2024 S6|E06 Lifting without perfect form, weightlifting makes you bulky, and muscle turning in to fat
In this episode I'm busting 3 common myths about weightlifting:
1. Weightlifting without perfect form is dangerous.
2. Weightlifting will make you bulky.
3. Muscle can turn into fat.

Have you ever heard one of these, let alone believed it and let it dictate what you chose to do for exercise? Knowledge is power and after this episode you will be able to make a more accurately informed decision.

March 11, 2024 S6|E02 7 Tips for designing your home workout space to be more consistent with exercise
How your home workout space is set up plays a huge role in you not only enjoying your workouts but also whether you choose to do them or not. Many people will look over the things I share in this episode because they seem too small, but actually it is usually the accumulation of very small barriers that make what feels like an insurmountable wall and holds you back from exercising consistently.

In this episode I cover seven things to take into consideration when setting up your home workout space. Maybe you can't do them all or maybe you can't do them to their full capacity, but ask yourself "What CAN I do?" The only way you're going to make progress is if you look at what is possible and go from there. Clarity comes from action.
