Aly explains how to choose the “right” weights for your body, your goals, and your season of life. She breaks down the magic of bodyweight, light, medium, and heavy loads, explaining what each uniquely contributes to strength, bone density, endurance, and overall resilience. Her message is clear: the best weight is the one that meets you where you are today.

Throughout the conversation, Aly dispels myths (“bodyweight is not enough,” “light weights don’t build strength,” “heavy is best”), while building a compelling case for using a full menu of weights—light, medium, and heavy—to support a balanced, well-fed movement system. Listeners walk away with a clear, confidence-boosting understanding of how to use weights without overwhelm and how to explore strength training in Modern Body through Simply Strong, Empowered Strength, or the weekly movement map.
