About this listen

If you’ve been working out with weights but feel like your arms still jiggle and you're not looking more toned, then this episode is a must-listen.

In episode #114, I'm getting back to basics and covering one of the most important principles in strength training: progressive overload.

If you want results - like better muscle tone, more strength, and a firmer, fitter body - progressive overload is the key.


You’ll learn:

  • What progressive overload really means (no, it’s not just “lift heavy”)
  • Why random workouts and group fitness classes aren't great ways to build muscle
  • How to use reps, weights, and simple tracking to apply progressive overload
  • What to do when progress slows down (or life gets in the way)


Whether your goal is to get stronger, feel more confident in a sleeveless top, or keep up with the grandkids - this is foundational information you need.

Hit play and learn how to train smarter - not harder.
