107. Strength Training, Protein Intake, and Getting Back to Basics with Kate Lemere


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like a workout doesn’t “count” if cardio isn’t involved? We hear so much about the importance of strength training, but do you understand the ‘why’ behind it? As busy moms, we have limited time to cram everything into our days, including our workouts. If you’re wondering what kind of exercise you should be spending your limited time on, Kate Lemere is here to answer your questions. She’ll break down how to approach strength training vs. cardio and share all about how you can meet your fitness goals by forming new habits.


Kate is a brand strategist turned fitness trainer in Chicago. Her goal is to help people understand the basics of fitness so they can find a lifelong process they love without restriction. She has spent the last decade honing her craft as a trainer, expanding her knowledge and fine-tuning her voice and articulation.


Kate is also a Nike woman master trainer, Barry's chief instructor and founding trainer in Chicago, NCSF personal trainer, ACE Certified Behavioral Specialist, postpartum corrective exercise specialist, and she does not plan on stopping there.


In today’s episode, we dive into habit forming, strength training, protein intake, and how to fit all of this into your current daily routine as a busy mom.


In this episode we discuss:


  • How our habits can transform our long-term health.
  • The important elements of fitness.
  • Myths of strength training.
  • Recommendations for strength training: Machines vs weights.
  • What a typical everyday workout looks like for someone who only has 20 minutes.
  • How much protein women should be consuming.
