28: The Lies & Truths About Women’s Fitness

The Missing Pillar of Health Podcast

If you follow me on Instagram Stories, you’ll know I love a good weights session. But this wasn’t always the case. I used to be that person who thought 5lb dumb bells were all I should use. After having my children and suffering chronic pain from pregnancy, nursing, and carrying them, I started working with a trainer and before I knew it (really it took a couple of years), I became a weight lifter.
There are so many misconceptions and fads around fitness that can really overcomplicate things - and also damage our relationship with exercise. But it is such an important part of our health, so I wanted to bring you a conversation with the real goods about fitness and strength training for women.
I am thrilled to introduce this conversation with personal trainer and go-to women’s fitness expert, Samantha Montpetit-Huynh. We talked about:

• Why women should weight train
• Simple ways to get more movement into your day
• How fitness can affect hormones
• How to set fitness goals that don't revolve around the scale
• The mindset hacks and myths you need to succeed
• And more.

Green at Home is no longer an operating business, as its founder, Emma Rohmann, has gone back to her engineering roots in large-scale green building consulting. She is keeping her free resources, including the podcast and blog, live but you will find other links to resources are likely broken in these show notes.
