Back to Episodes#136: Strength Training Myths Holding Women Back
Season 1
Episode 136
Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
This episode is a little different — I’m sharing a clip from one of my recent masterclasses where I busted some of the most common myths about strength training.
These myths hold so many women back from building the strength, muscle, and confidence they want in midlife. In this episode, I explain why they aren’t true — and what to do instead.
The 5 myths I bust in this episode:
- Soreness and “feeling the burn” mean you had a good workout
- Light weights and high reps will “tone” your muscles, while heavy weights make you bulky
- Combo moves give you more bang for your buck
- Constant variety is better than repeating the same exercises
- Any workout “with weights” builds muscle
Come listen to why these don’t hold up and the smarter ways to train instead.
If this helped you, share it with 2 friends: that’s how the show grows!
