Episode 92: Strength Training - The Basics The Language, The Myths, and What a Session Actually Looks Like

If you've been curious about strength training but feel overwhelmed by the language, the conflicting advice, or the idea that it has to look a certain way to count, this episode is for you.Whether you've trained before and lost your way, you're brand new to it, or you're already doing it but second-guessing yourself, I'm going back to basics today. We're talking about what actually happens inside your body when you lift, what all that terminology means, how to know if what you're doing is working, and why you absolutely do not need to go to the gym or lift heavy to get started.I also tackle some of the biggest myths that put women off strength training before they even begin, including the fear of bulking up, the idea that sessions have to be long to count, and the belief that it's too late to start making a difference.Because the most optimal plan isn't the perfect plan. It's the one you can actually keep showing up for.I also reference episode 89 on making exercise feel good, so that's worth a listen afterwards if motivation has ever been a struggle for you.Episode 89 can be found hereFind me on instagram: www.instagram.com/ruthmacfitFind out about coaching: www.ruthmacfit.com
