3 Weight Training Myths You Need to Ditch Now!
The Gyms are opening back up!!
So if you haven't been going, I'm going to encourage you to get in there and pick up some weights!
I know, I know, the weight room is intimidating, I get it! You walk in there and there's sweaty dudes grunting, you're not sure what to do or if you're doing it right, and you just end up walking right back out.
Resistance exercise, especially compound movements, that are NOT on machines, as SO important for your health. Muscle is the fountain of youth!
So I'm going to encourage you to stop using your intimidation as an excuse.
I said what I said, it's an excuse!
There are plenty of ways you can learn to incorporate weight training more into your routine. Maybe it's an at home program? Maybe you take a class in the gym? Maybe you go to an all women's gym? Maybe get the help of a trainer?
The point is, there are a TON of ways to get help with learning how to incorporate weight training into your workouts, you just have to pick one, take the initiative and go for it!
Today, I'm going to dispel the three biggest weight training myths I hear from women:
"Cardio is better for burning fat than weight training"
"I just want to "tone" not bulk up"
"Women should stick to machines/need to workout differently than men"
I hope that by setting the record straight, I'll encourage you and give you the confidence you need to ask for help, and learn how to start adding resistance exercise into your routine. If you decide to employ these strategies, and I hope you do, I'd love to hear about it! Send me a DM on Instagram or post in your stories and tag me!
Need more help with some of these concepts and want to actually KNOW how to put them in place in your life? Then make sure you're on the mailing list for the next launch of the Health Mind, Healthy Body Program!

Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Coaching Program!
Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food
If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change. Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
