Counterculture Health

Are you ready to crush the weightlifting myths and unlock the secrets to a toned, healthy body? In episode 4 of Counterculture Health, we tackle the big, bulky lies about weightlifting, especially for women. Ever wondered why, despite lifting, you're not looking like a bodybuilder? We've got the scoop!

Join us as we explore why muscle building is more of a marathon than a sprint, and why those "bulky" looks are not easy to attain. We'll also dive into the incredible health benefits of strength training, from boosting your metabolism to strengthening your bones.

Struggling to fit a workout into your busy life? Kaitlin's got some genius advice for full-body workouts that'll maximize your time and results. Plus, we'll share why lifting weights can be a game-changer for your mental health and introduce you to the life-changing concept of "micro-sizing" your exercise routine.
