Squats Made Her Strong *and* Confident

from The Holly Perkins Health Podcast · host Holly Perkins, BS CSCS

I’m so excited to share this special episode with my dear friend and client, Jane! This is such an inspiring conversation about how strength training can transform not just your body but also your mind. Jane is an incredible woman in her 60s who went from feeling unsure about stepping into a gym to confidently conquering the squat rack! And the results have been truly life-changing! Jane discovered a confidence she never expected and now feels more vibrant and energetic than she did in her 20s. In our conversation, we discuss Jane’s initial motivations for starting her fitness journey, how she overcame fears about lifting heavy weights – even while managing hip pain, and the importance of proper nutrition (especially before workouts!). Plus, she shares practical tips for overcoming the intimidation of trying something new! If you’ve ever felt nervous about stepping into the gym or thought it was too late to start a new chapter, Jane’s story will inspire you to think again. It’s never too late to become the strongest version of yourself – inside and out!Want FREE access to my brand new four-week strength training plan, Strength Without Stress?
