Episode Details

There’s a lot of noise out there about “strength training” — but are you really doing it?

If your workouts involve dumbbells, sweat, and a fast pace… you might just be doing cardio with weights. And if you’re not following certain key principles, you're missing out on the true benefits of strength training.

In this episode, I break down:

• The key differences between strength training and working out with weights
• What proper strength training looks like
• Why workouts like BodyPump or random YouTube videos often miss the mark
• How to tell if you're applying progressive overload (and why that matters)
• The surprising truth about heart rate, rest periods, and combo moves

This one’s a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re doing “counts” - and what to change if you want stronger bones, better blood sugar control, more muscle, and greater independence in midlife and beyond.
