🚨😖Is weight lifting daunting to you? ➡️If so, don’t feel alone! It took me a lifetime, plus a minor injury, to think, “hmmmm…I should add some strength training now.”
•
I’m still a complete newbie when it comes to adding strength to my running, but with help and encouragement from my husband and the @yellowrunner podcast 🙌, I’ve started doing it.
•
🤓 LOOK MOM, I’M DOING IT! 🏋️
•
🚫 Don’t take my word as gold, because I’m not a trainer or experienced at all. However, I’ve listened to enough podcasts to pick up recurring tips and wisdom from some DOPE people along the way:
•
✳️ Everyone starts somewhere.
•
✳️ If you’re anxious about being judged, remember that others most likely are feeling the same way.
•
✳️ Don’t use weights until you’re familiar with the movements.
•
✳️ If a movement hurts, don’t continue doing it just because your program says to.
•
✳️ Rest days and sleep are essential!
•
✳️ Have fun with it and explore how strong you are physically and mentally.
•
😃🏋️🤓Keeping crushing it! 💪👟🎉
