What Most Women Get Wrong About Progressive Overload


Listen Later

Hey beautiful human, welcome back!

Have you ever looked at your workout and thought… "Wait… if I'm not lifting more weight this week, am I even making progress?"

You're not alone. In fact, today's episode was sparked by a super thoughtful question inside the private Movement With Julie Facebook group. And it's such an important one.

So let's clear up the confusion around progressive overload, what it really means, why it's essential for results, and how it actually shows up in your training (even when your workouts change weekly!).

Inside this episode, I'm walking you through:

  • The real definition of progressive overload (it's more than just lifting heavier)

  • Why your body needs new challenges to keep seeing change

  • How Movement With Julie is built to create overload through smart variation

  • 6 ways you might already be progressing, without even realizing it

  • The signs your body gives you when you're hitting that next level

If you've ever wondered whether your workouts are "enough," this episode will give you so much clarity and confidence to keep showing up and trust the process.

And if this resonated with you, I think you'll really love episode 303: 15 Basic Resistance Training Principles You Need to Know – Part 1.
