If you asked me how I feel about strength training, I will tell you...

“It’s amazing  for your health and longevity & the best way to change the shape of your body!

But if you REALLY asked me how I feel about strength training...

I will tell you how it changed my life for the better in every way.

I will tell you how strength training SAVED me & *finally* broke me of my toxic cycle of restricting & binging, followed by a shit ton of cardio to “work it off.” I will tell you how it finally helped me heal my relationship w/ exercise, so I could STOP using cardio as a punishment or something to do *only* to lose weight.

I started working out consistently in my early 20’s but my only goal was to burn as many calories as possible. I found myself falling into a trap of thinking if I ate more then I just had to do more cardio to “even it out.”

What this really did was trash my relationship with food AND fitness. Everything was transactional, everything had to be earned, it was dysfunctional and to be honest tormenting. Because I only worked out to burn the MOST calories, I favored high intensity fitness classes, 5-6 times per week for almost a decade.

Rest days gave me anxiety because I felt like I could not eat a good amount of food on those days, I had not earned it after all! I would go through periods of getting burnt out on this routine and would stop working out all together. There was no consistency, there was no recovery from my workouts, and I never properly fueled my high activity level.

I will tell you how it took me from feeling insecure to 100% confident in who the fk I am. It taught me that I can get better at anything if I just start at the beginning + keep going.

When I made the transition from high intensity fitness classes to more structured strength training I felt like a beginner all over again. I thought those classes had given me so much confidence, but in reality I was beating the crap out of my body because I had no confidence!

Working hard like that made me feel good for a while, like I was doing something right, like I was good enough. The shift to strength work was humbling and I needed that at the time. I was pushing myself too hard in those classes thinking I had reached some pinnacle of health, when in reality I was doing the opposite of that. Starting a structured strength program somehow felt like less work, but harder, and so humbling to be a beginner in the gym again. 

I will tell you, because of how it changed my life, it LITERALLY became my career that supports my family and gives me freedom.

I am not telling you to go quit your job and become a trainer, but I am telling you that is how powerful it was for me. I created an instant passion that was more then just something I enjoyed, I wanted to learn as much as possible, I felt curious for the first time in a long time and I wanted to share that with other women.

Ladies, you deserve to feel ALL OF THIS. And you CAN, when you join my Inner circle membership.

Life is too damn short to hate your body and I’m here to show you *exactly* how to fall BACK in love with lifting heavy shit and feeling strong and sexy AF.

I will be 40 in a few months and I can say with 100% honestly that I feel better NOW than I ever did in my 20’s. I have strength training to thank for that.
