New Podcast! Trainer Talk [Episode 14]: Strength Training: Does It Have to Look a Certain Way?

Hey, Fitness Blender!

You’ve found a workout routine you like. It fits your schedule, and you keep coming back to it. Then you see a post telling you to do something different, and you start to wonder if what you’re doing is enough.

It’s frustrating when advice that’s supposed to help just makes you doubt yourself.

In our latest Trainer Talk episode, Patrice and Erica discuss the pressure to do strength training. They share how easy it is to compare your routine to others, even though you don’t know what their day or schedule is like.

Trainer Talk [Episode 14] — Strength Training: Does It Have to Look a Certain Way?

Your old routine can be hard to let go of. Finding time for those workouts was easier a few years ago, and you may still expect yourself to fit them in with more on your plate now.

Erica talks about how becoming a parent changed her expectations for exercise. Patrice shares how she works with the time and equipment she has. Both have changed their training and are honest about what they enjoy now.

We hope this part of the conversation speaks to you. It’s tough to let your routine change when you still have a picture in your mind of how it should look.

You’ll also hear about Strong Many Ways, their new challenge, and how their coaching styles work together.

If you’ve ever wondered if you need to train like someone else or like your past self, there’s a lot here for you.
