Strength Myths: Busted

Many women avoid lifting because of outdated advice, not lack of motivation. Let’s fix that.

Myth: "Lifting heavy will make me bulky."
Reality: Most women don't bulk easily — strength comes from consistency and progressive overload, not one heavy session.
Myth: "A workout should leave me gassed."
Reality: Strength training should feel challenging, but not like a cardio test every session.
Myth: "If I'm not sore, it didn't work."
Reality: Progress is measured by performance over time — not soreness.
Myth: "I need a trainer forever or I'll do it wrong."
Reality: With a few fundamentals, you can train safely and confidently on your own.

This IS

  • Beginner-friendly and approachable
  • Designed to build confidence and independence
  • Supportive, calm, and non-intimidating

This is NOT

  • A gym membership
  • A bootcamp or HIIT class
  • Personal training forever
  • About getting "bulky" or pushing to exhaustion

The goal is simple: help you feel capable, confident, and comfortable lifting on your own.
