⬇️ Let's chat! ⬇️

No woman has ever said, β€œGosh I sure do wish I’d skipped the weights!”

Here’s what the research says:

1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.

In one trial, women with low bone mass lifted heavy for 8 months.
No surprise, their bone, posture, and function improved.

Heavy lifting gives your bones a reason to stay strong. πŸ’ͺ🏻

You don’t have to wait for a scary diagnosis... and you shouldn't!

But also, it’s never too late to start!

Go get strong, friends!

πŸ›‘ Have you ever felt like your squat depth has a literal "stop sign" on it?

No matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to get those hips down without feeling like you're going to tip over backward.

If that sounds like you, I want you to try this simple trick: Put a small weight plate or a wedge under your heels.

This little trick is a total game-changer for women who struggle with ankle mobility. When your ankles are "tight," they act like a brake on your knees when you squat.

By lifting your heels, you’re basically "borrowing" some extra room for your knees to move forward.

This allows your torso to stay upright and lets your hips sink much lower than they could before.

πŸ‘ŠπŸ» It’s not cheating... it’s just using physics to help you build stronger quads and a more resilient body!

While wedges are a great tool, we also want to work on those stiff ankles so you feel capable in any position. Here are a few ways to help your ankles move better:

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Use a foam roller on your calves for about a minute before you lift to loosen things up.
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Try "weighted ankle drives" by sitting in a lunge and using a kettlebell on your knee to gently push it forward over your toes while keeping your heel down.
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Do slow calf raises where you let your heel drop below the edge of a step to stretch the muscle under weight.
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Spend 30 seconds at the bottom of a goblet squat using a weight at your chest to help you stay balanced while you "sink" into your hips.

As we say in Stacked Strength (my online training program), STRENGTH IS YOUR INDEPENDENCE, and being able to move through a full range of motion is how we stay active and capable for the long haul.

πŸ’Ύ SAVE this post to try the heel-elevated trick on your next leg day!

How do I get toned without getting bulky?

Lots of women show up every single week.
And while they might be strong AF and look great, they still aren't "bulky".

Here’s why bulky is so hard for women to get:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» It takes years of planned training
πŸ‘‰πŸ» It also takes eating extra on purpose

So go ahead and lift heavy and eat the food! Your body can handle it.

Lifting and eating to get bulky looks like this:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Follow a structured lifting program
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Pick weights that make the last few reps hard
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Add a little weight or one more rep over time
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Eat enough protein and enough food overall

And give it months, not weeks.

One more thing.
For decades, women were told to lift light and take up less room.

Muscle says otherwise.
Muscle is the cheat code to life.
It also helps you carry all the groceries in one trip. πŸ’ͺ🏻

πŸ‘‰πŸ» FOLLOW for tips and support to get women strong... with a side of feminist attitude.

You will never regret being strong, but the day might come when you wish you were.

πŸŽ‚ It's my birthday!!

I’m 48 today. And I’m saying it out loud!

Women get taught to hide their age.
To lie about it.
To buy the cream and disappear quietly.

I’m done with that.

Here’s what 48 looks like on me:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Strong enough to lift heavy things
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Loud enough to take up space
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Done with mediocre bu****it

Aging is a privilege.
Not everyone gets this many years.

Age is nothing to apologize for.
Age is nothing to hide.
Age is nothing to be embarassed about.

Your turn! πŸ‘‡πŸ»
COMMENT your age below. Loud and proud!!

πŸ‘‡πŸ» Lunge Tips πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Many women don't realize your stride length in a lunge changes everything about which muscle you're training the most.

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Shorter stride = more quad

Knee travels over the toes, torso stays upright. Your quads are doing the work.

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Longer stride = more glute

Deeper hip stretch, less knee travel, slight forward lean in the torso. Now you're loading the glutes.

Same exercise. Completely different result depending on where you plant your foot.

Neither is wrong - just gotta know WHY you're doing the exercise.

πŸ’Ύ SAVE this for your next leg day!

πŸ‘‡ Your plate is part of your program. 🍽️

Under-eating doesn’t always look like a diet.

Sometimes it looks like:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Skipping lunch because of back to back meetings
πŸ‘‰πŸ» β€œI’ll just eat after my workout”
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Feeling guilty about getting seconds

Sound familiar?

Women get praised for eating less.

For taking up less space.

But your muscles never got that memo.

Here are 3 simple ways to fuel your lifts:
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Add protein to every meal (at least a palm sized portion)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Eat something before you train (carbs and protein!)
πŸ‘‰πŸ» Keep easy foods around (frozen veggies and canned beans totally count!)

One quick note on the research:
That 500 calorie stat is an average across many studies.

⬇️ I remember it too.

The aerobics classes.
The diet talk.
The public weigh-ins.
The β€œI’m being bad” comments over a plate of food.
The constant message that a woman’s worth was somehow tied to how small she could make herself.

And as little girls…
We were watching.
We were learning.

And unfortunately, we were absorbing it all.

πŸ’” Not because our mothers wanted to hurt us…
They didn’t mean any harm.

…but because many of them were living inside the same harmful beliefs they were taught.

So if strength feels hard…
If taking up space feels uncomfortable…
If eating enough or lifting heavy feels β€œwrong”…

Please know:
You are not alone.

So many of us are untangling years - sometimes generations - of conditioning.

I see you.
I get it.
And you are absolutely not the only one trying to rewrite this story.

What messages about body image, food, or weight do you remember hearing or witnessing growing up?

⬇️ Strong women in history never waited for permission, and Lillian Leitzel is one of the greatest examples you have probably never heard of!

Long before women's strength training was ever taken seriously, she was one of the most famous athletes on the planet.

Why her story matters for every woman who lifts today.

She lived in an era when women were told their bodies were delicate and that hard physical effort would "ruin" them.

She ignored every bit of it and became the highest paid, highest billed star in the circus.

She was loud, demanding, and completely unapologetic, in a time when women were expected to be quiet and agreeable.

She took up space and built a body of pure strength and dared the world to look away.

And she did it without a single person telling her it was allowed.

That is the legacy you tap into every time you pick up a barbell.

Every rep is a quiet act of defiance against the same tired lie women have been fed for a hundred years... that we are the weaker s*x.

Nah. We never were.

That's why they're afraid of strong women who aren't easily manipulated.

πŸ‘‰ Share this with a strong woman who needs the reminder today.

You will never regret being strong, but the day might come when you wish you were.

πŸ‘‡ No seriously, they really think this

These males constantly say things to me like "I comment on your posts to OWN YOU" or "Oh I owned you and debunked all your points" and, my personal favorite, "I wrecked your entire narrative!"

They actually believe that's what they've done and I swear they imagine me crying into my Cheerios trying to make sense of the world now that they've wrecked it πŸ˜‚

🀠 It's legit the Wild West out in these Instagram streets!

It'd be super rad if you hit that REPOST button or SHARE this post with your homies!

Thanks, friends!

πŸ‘‡ I'm a wild and crazy one!

No I'm not. πŸ˜‚

At this point in my life, in these *gestures broadly* times, I really do just wanna sit on the couch with my dog.

And for the record, I don't workout to look good at all...

πŸ’ͺ I workout so that if I ever had to defend myself from a ...ahem...bear... I could stand a fighting chance.

πŸ’ͺ I workout so that I can keep my bones strong and my metabolism pumping.

πŸ’ͺ I workout so that I can be around for a VERY long time to annoy my son and my future grandchildren.

Why do you workout??
