How To Start Strength Training

How To Start Strength Training

Meg once was a terror in the world of roller derby. But these days, her sedentary lifestyle is making everyday physical activities a tad daunting. (We're looking at you, groceries that need to be carried up four flights of stairs!). She wants to start lifting weights, but she's unsure where to start—and whether she can avoid the bro-culture of many weight rooms. On this episode of How To!: Courtney Martin brings in writer and powerlifter Mikala Jamison, who was in Meg's shoes not that long ago. She shares how she got started, why lifting is a lifelong journey, and what we can learn from the current zeitgeist for women's strength training.

Resources mentioned:
