103: A Strength Challenge

103: A Strength Challenge

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care June 8, 2024 Duration: 26:51

Well, Habit Thrivers, we are coming in strongšŸ’Ŗ (pun intended) to another week here on the Habit Thrive Podcast!


This week, on Episode #103, I am keeping up the momentum I was inspired🄰 to gather during last week’s spectacular interview!


Chatting with Kim reminded me how valuable🫶 a strength routine is for our health and well-being: Not just physically, but also mentally.🧠


So, we are going to spend the month of June focusing on movement. Movement such as:


āœ…Pushing

āœ…Pulling

āœ…Hinging


We are going to start off this week by taking a look at our ā€œwhyā€šŸ¤” for strength training.:


ā¤ļøTo be able to move the large pots in the garden

ā¤ļøTo be able to pick up growing grandchildren

ā¤ļøTo be able to push the boat off from the dock


Knowing our ā€œwhyā€ makes it easier for us to turn our strength training activity into a habit and also know which movements are going to benefit us the most.


If you’re not sure where to start, I recommend that you begin with a plank and/or push-ups every day this week.


It’s a simple, basic movement that targets arms, legs and core strength - which we all can use!


Additionally, I suggestā˜ļø reading something each day that is related to the benefits of strength training for women.


Hit Google or your favorite podcastšŸŽ™ļø platform for some quick tips on ā€œstrength training for women after 50ā€ or ā€œpost-menopause bone densityā€ or ā€œhow to maintain arm strength in my 60sā€...


Or whatever else speaks to you.


Just make it a habit every day, and watch yourself grow stronger right before your eyes!šŸ˜
