It used to be that women were afraid of being bulky, now they're afraid that weightlifting will wreck their hormones or that it is bad for healing their metabolism.  This is an outright lie.

Following a workout program is makes everything simple, clear, and saves you SO much time and mental headache in the gym or at home (wherever you're working out), yet SO many people still aren't using one!  Why is this?

This has been on my heart lately: negative body image and low self-worth.  I see low self-worth seeping out of everyone.  And so often, it's the very reason so many women start to exercise and diet.  From the time they were small it exercise, diet, and size became psychologically intertwined with their own perception of their worth and acceptability in this world.

But when exercise is approached for this reason, out of fear and guilt, it actually makes it harder to do.  No one wants to do something out of obligation and fear.  Humans want to do things from a pure desire and excitement.

So how can you shift this?

In this episode I talk about:

+ where this may have started for you

+ how I remember it starting for me

+ becoming aware of triggers

+ how to start doing things out of excitement & desire

+ earning the ability to listen to one's body

What comes to your mind when you think of muscles?  You probably think of gyms, body builders, Olympic lifters, weight loss.  Or MAYBE you think of injury prevention, or the prevention of things like Alzheimer's and Type 2 Diabetes.  And if you think these things, you're not wrong.  But building muscle is SO much more than just this.  Issues like obesity, CVD, Alzheimer's, and Type 2 Diabetes are a disease of skeletal muscle first.  Muscle is a metabolic organ.  It is part of your endocrine system!  It's in the literature, but very few people are talking about it.  What I get into in this episode barely scratches the surface, but it's a good start.

It's true that free weights allow for a more natural movement.  You are in complete control of the weight.  But sometimes this is not always the best thing for you depending on your level, goal, and what movement you are performing.  Machines DO have a PRACTICAL place within a functional workout program and routine.  Tune in to this episode to find out what those circumstances are.

Weightlifting has long been thought of as a form of exercise that makes you tight and stiff and is HORRIBLE for mobility.  Flexibility and weightlifting are not often associated.  But what if I told you it's actually the BEST thing you could do for your mobility and flexibility?  And that it's all about HOW you do it?  I explain it all in this episode.
