In this episode, we're continuing our celebration of Women's History Month by diving into the benefits of strength training for women and the power of shifting focus from losing to gaining. Regardless of where you are in your health and fitness journey, we want to share with you some lesser-known benefits of getting strong and building a body (and mindset) that's here for the long-haul. 

In honor of Women's History Month, we're going to be diving into different topics around empowering women in fitness! All month long we will be discussing some of the issues, stereotypes, and messages that are portrayed in today's media around what it means for women to be healthy and fit. 

In this episode, we discuss the stigma around women and weight loss, the impact of marketing and media, and how to look beyond the latest cleanse, beach body, or booty band workout, so you can navigate your fitness journey feeling empowered and capable of tackling anything.
