Live from the Live Better recording studio! Bret and Jason are here this week on the Live Better podcast with Rae Reichlin, the founder of Ladies Who Lift, an all-female strength training workshop and class aimed to educate, empower, and inspire women of all shapes, sizes, fitness, and lifting backgrounds.

Offered at two different levels, Ladies Who Lift provides the opportunity to both learn the basics and then perfect these skills all while guaranteeing a badass workout using barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, prowlers, and more.

 

Listen in as Bret, Jason and Rae discuss Rae’s journey to entrepreneurship, the importance of holding space, breaking down strength training, the benefits of mindfulness, doing the workout for your mind, body and soul and Rae’s approach to helping women find confidence and strength through lifting.
