Midweek Movement Snack: Strength Training Basics Workshop is tomorrow!
|
Hey Reader, Just popping into your inbox with a quick reminder that the Strength Training Basics workshop I'm offering is happening tomorrow, Friday November 21st at 11am ET. If you're newer to strength training, starting can feel overwhelming and intimidating. What weights should you get? How many reps should you do and how many sets of an exercise should you do? And even if you've been strength training for awhile, there are other questions that come up that you might not have an easy answer for. How do you know when to progress to a heavier set of weights in any given exercise? How many days per week should you be lifting? I will answer all of these questions in my workshop tomorrow. And I'll answer some of your questions, if you have them, too. I'm offering the workshop as "pay what you can" to make it as accessible as possible. The workshop will be recorded if you can't attend, although I highly recommend attending so you can ask specific questions about your strength training needs, if you have them! Save your spot by signing up here and I'll see you in the workshop tomorrow! Naomi |

Hey Reader, When I was brand new to strength training, I had no idea what I was doing.I was around a year postpartum with my first child.Yoga wasn't cutting it in my recovery after giving birth and I wanted to feel strong again, so I started taking HIIT classes online. I loved the HIIT classes and I'm forever grateful to that first teacher (Sarah Kusch) because she really did know her stuff and did a really good job giving basic tips for making smart choices in HIIT style classes. Still, I...
Hey Reader, I love core work. I might be in the minority and believe me, I get it. Core work is not easy. But getting stronger is also not easy. And while core work won't help me build bone density or help me build the larger muscle groups of my body, doing core work helps in other ways: More trunk stability when I'm doing heavier lifts More support and stability through functional movement like walking, running, twisting, and picking up my kids Moving with more ease generally There are...
Hey Reader, This morning, I woke up early to move my body like I always do. I am a person who has a daily movement practice, which is a little bit abnormal. Apparently only around 20% of women (according to a 2024 study) have an intentional daily movement practice. I like moving my body. It's also my job to teach people how to do it. And lots of evidence points to the fact that a regular (if not daily) movement practice, including resistance training and cardio, is important for health,...
