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.
