In this episode, we dive into a thoughtful question I got about the struggle of showing up for strength training sessions years off and if lifting lighter weights provides the same health benefits of lifting heavy. We’ll explore the differences between heavy and lighter/moderate weights, unpack the mindset struggles of re-building after time away, and review practical advice for getting back into a consistent routine without the pressure of lifting heavy. If you’ve ever felt stuck or discouraged about your current workouts, this episode will give you tools to reframe your thoughts and help you discover the joy in your movement again.
