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 strong💪 (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:


✅Pushing

✅Pulling

✅Hinging


We are going to start off this week by taking a look at our “why”🤔 for strength training.:


❤️To be able to move the large pots in the garden

❤️To be able to pick up growing grandchildren

❤️To be able to push the boat off from the dock


Knowing our “why” 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 suggest☝️ reading something each day that is related to the benefits of strength training for women.


Hit Google or your favorite podcast🎙️ platform for some quick tips on “strength training for women after 50” or “post-menopause bone density” or “how to maintain arm strength in my 60s”...


Or whatever else speaks to you.


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