  • Ep. 276: How 80s bodybuilder Lisa Lyon changed beauty standards forever

    Lisa Lyon is a legend in the bodybuilding industry. She won the first ever Women's World Pro Bodybuilding Championship, released her own workout book, and carried the icon Arnold Schwarzenegger on her shoulders.

    But Lisa Lyon was more than a bodybuilder and she definitely wasn't a 'gym bunny'. She was a dancer, actress and a performance artist intent on communicating through her body.
    I’d love to know if you already knew of Lisa, or if she’s inspired you in some way after listening. By the way, this episode is also available on YouTube as a full-length video so if you want to see more of the woman this episode is dedicated to, head here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCtsTbMIcyI&t=304s
