052 | Exploring the Exercise Gender Gap
Can lipstick and scrunchies really transform your mood? We think so, which is why we smack on some pre-show lippie to get us in the right headspace to jam - especially for conversations like today. In this episode, we tackle a big topic and shed light on a pressing issue: the exercise gender gap. Inspired by a New York Times article, we grapple with the societal pressures that nudge women to put others first, often at the expense of their health. Balancing self-care and societal expectations is a tightrope walk for many women, especially mothers. We...

051 | When Other Health Professionals Need To Stay Out Of Our Lane
Welcome to the Training Women podcast, where today we lovingly tear down a specific midlife strength training protocol for women being recommended by a popular OBGYN. We love seeing the vast amount of education coming out from respective professionals, whose intention is to improve the health of midlife women. But what happens when they drift out of their lane and into ours and start spruiking exercise prescriptions like a 4 x 4 (4 x sets x 4 reps) protocol? We’re all aware of the message ‘Lift Heavy Shit’ and now do ‘4 x 4’, but simply following overly simplistic...

One of the good things to come out of those crazy Covid times is that people are now more conscious of their mental health, and health in general than before.

Women clients demand better services and want a holistic approach to their health and well-being.

Both Olivia and I have noticed a problem that's been popping up in the fitness industry, more so of late. And that is the issue of injecting women into workouts or training programs that include high-intensity interval training, or high-intensity resistance training, without a foundation of aerobic fitness. We see it all the time. While the responsibility falls on the trainer, part of this can also be blamed on the way the fitness industry has set up expectations. Many clients enter our training partnership with the preconceived idea that the trainer's (Gym) job...

There was a time in my life when I thought it was normal and OK to not have a regular period. In fact when I realised that a regular cycle comes every 30 odd days I was shell shocked. I didn't get a regular cycle until I was around 32 ish, and that was a combination of having Polycystic Ovaries and engaging in training and situations that led to low energy availability. It took a few years of constant focus to heal both my HPO and HPA axis to restore good health and cycle.
