About this listen
In this episode, Raphael and Nicole cut through the noise around strength training—and explain why it’s way simpler than most Pilates instructors think.
They break down:
- Why you don’t need to chase “the burn,” perfect form, or sore muscles.
- What actually creates strength gains (hint: it’s not magic or mystery).
- The 5 key adaptations that happen when you get stronger.
- How to know if you’re lifting enough, even with bodyweight or light equipment.
- Why overthinking keeps instructors (and clients) weak—and what to do instead.
Nicole shares practical, science-backed insights that will empower you to:
- Teach strength with clarity and confidence.
- Stop relying on guesswork, soreness, or Instagram trends.
- Understand how strength improves health, longevity, and quality of life—especially for women 40+.
