What Makes a Workout Effective
from Not Just Gym Girls · host Marisa Silva and Vanessa Silva
In this episode we're breaking down the common belief that workouts need to feel brutal to be effective. We chat about where this mindset stems from, like diet culture, social media, and the pressure to “earn” results. We discuss what actually drives change, and why constantly pushing your body can backfire and lead to burnout, especially when it comes to hormones, stress, and sustainability. This episode will give you a new standard for what effective training should feel like and how to start measuring progress in a more productive way.
