THE SMART WOMAN'S GUIDE TO STRENGTH TRAINING IN YOUR 40S

Real talk: a major barrier to women getting strong is fear. Fear of “bulking up,” fear of getting hurt, or worse - fear of just plain making a fool of themselves in the gym. In this in-depth chat with Jasmin & Amanda, strength coach and fitness entrepreneur PARI PRIYADARSHINI reassures us about:

• the importance of training for longevity versus just training for aesthetics

• strategies to overcome the initial intimidation factor of lifting weights in a gym

• how body image, culture, and expectations all play a role in women’s health

• dietary hacks to improve protein intake and build your overall nutrition literacy

By the end of this episode, you’ll find out why all women who exercise can be considered athletes, how to fit strength training into your busiest days, and why the (lack of) messages given to our mothers’ generation about getting strong might be catching up with us now.
