I'm consistently asked by clients and members if they need to lift lighter weights and more reps, or heavier weights with lower reps. The typical reasons/excuses to not lifting heavy enough are that women don't want to look like men, and older adults don't want to get hurt. Do either apply to you?
In this episode I give you scientific evidence on why it's important to lift relatively heavy weights. Men and women of all ages need to lift a certain amount of weight to improve strength and functionality. Listen and learn how you can change your health and fitness with these mandatory tips.

My journey to becoming a fitness professional began long before 2008, I didn't know it at the time. The reasons I did push-ups and pull-ups in my room were not unusual for an 8th grader. Most early teen boys want to be bigger and stronger than the "popular" kids. 
In this episode I go completely raw and unscripted sharing my secrets and being vulnerable with you about my workout origins. These vulnerabilities drove me to pursue an insecurity that became a career. It's probably not the story you think if you follow me on social media. Take a listen and maybe you can connect on a deeper level with me.
