Tough Cookie Talks

"Toning Is For Printers" An Unfiltered Convo With Ashleigh Brodhead (the Friend Who Taught Me To Lift Heavy Shit)

Listen Later

This episode is one that I've been waiting to record for way too long. It's very unfiltered. It's everything I ever wanted my podcast to be--to feel like you're hanging out with me and my friends shooting the shit. Today we're doing that with one of my very best friends, Ashleigh Brodhead--live in my she-shed. She's the person who got me into kettlebells. The person who first put a barbell into my hand. I don't think she had any idea how much having her in my life shaped the work I'm doing today, but we're gonna talk all about it! 

On this episode we talk about: 

  • Our shared history of being dancers, and the next level body image fuckery that brings about. 
  • (CW) The very disordered habits we used to have around food and exercise, and how the dance industry encouraged that. 
  • How she got into strength training, and in turn got me into it too. 
  • What "legit" strength training even is.
  • Why taking group fitness classes with weights can only get you so strong.
  • Why rest matters.
  • Advice for people just getting into lifting weights for the first time.
  • How to choose the best personal trainer for you.
  • Why the idea of "getting toned" is misunderstood (and also, for printers LOL)
  • Many, many, many random tangents.

    • P.S.-This podcast is not actually sponsored by anyone, but these are the seltzers we were drinking while recording.
