Summary

I used to be a cardio queen, until I was forced to change my habits and finally take strength training more seriously. I could not have done that on my own, and credit my personal success to several different women online. For many years one of those influences has been Amber Brueseke, who returns to the podcast to discuss the importance of strength training for women, especially as we age. Amber shares her journey and practical tips on how to get started with weightlifting, no matter your level of experience. From understanding the 'why' behind strength training to practical steps and five incredible tips you can implement right away, this conversation is packed with value. Tune in to learn how you can prioritize strength training, overcome intimidation, and start making progress today.
