New Strength Training Guidelines Have Been Released - Here's What You Need to Know
from The Everyday GLOW Show · host GLOW Physio
The resistance training guidelines just changed - and the headline finding is one I've been waiting years to be able to say out loud: we've been massively overcomplicating this.In this episode I break down what the new ACSM position stand actually means for everyday women, cut through the oversimplifications doing the rounds online, and explain why the principle I keep coming back to - effort over weight - is more supported by the evidence than ever.We cover:How much strength training you actually need to do (the clearest answer the research has ever given us)Why "you can build strength at any weight" is true but missing crucial nuanceWhat the research really says about bone density and loadWhy effort matters more than the number on the dumbbellWhat this all means practically depending on where you're at right nowWhether you're just starting out, returning after a break, or training around pain or injury — this one will reassure you and refocus you.Resources mentioned in this episode:Learn to Lift at Home Program — https://glowphysio.com.au/l2l-1/GLOW10 Tribe — https://glowphysio.com.au/glow10-tribe-join
