Why Movement & Strength Training Are Game-Changers for Your Body
Hopefully, you are following along on substack as well, and you’ve been building healthier habits for about 8 to 9 weeks now, focusing on food, movement, and mindset. Now, let’s turn things up a notch! 🚀 This month, we’re making movement a bigger priority, focusing on fun, connection, and strength.
Move Together – Make It Social! 🏃♀️💃
Who said working out has to be a solo mission? This week’s challenge is all about trading in a dinner date for a movement date! Instead of sitting down for a meal, try something active with a friend, partner, or coworker. Not only will you get in extra steps, but you’ll also have way more fun doing it!
Fun Ways to Make Movement Social:
👉 Go for a sunset walk instead of grabbing drinks 🌅
👉 Try a dance class together (hello, salsa or hip-hop!) 💃🕺
👉 Sign up for a fun run, hike, or even trampoline park day! 🏃♂️🌲
👉 Hit the gym together—challenge each other with reps! 💪
👉 Try something totally new, like rock climbing or hot yoga 🧗🔥
The best part? Moving with others boosts motivation, builds connections, and keeps you accountable. Plus, exercise releases endorphins—aka happy hormones—that leave you feeling amazing. Who wouldn’t want that? 😃
Build Strength, Build Confidence 💪🔥
Now that you’re moving more, let’s focus on getting stronger! Strength training is a game-changer. It’s not just about looking fit—it helps you feel powerful, improves your posture, and even increases your energy levels. This week, we’re challenging you to push past your limits with a workout that will ignite your muscles!
YOUR Challenge: Can You Do This 3 Times?
✅ 20 burpees (jump up, then do a push-up!)
✅ 50 sit-ups (engage that core!)
✅ 25 squats (your legs will thank you later!)
✅ 25 mountain climbers (cardio + core = 🔥)
It might sound tough, but real change happens outside your comfort zone! Modify if needed, take breaks, but don’t quit. Every rep is making you stronger! 💪
Why Strength Training is a Must:
🚀 Burns More Energy – Muscle burns more calories even when you’re resting!
🦴 Builds Stronger Bones – Prevents bone loss and keeps you resilient.
⚡ Boosts Your Energy – Say goodbye to feeling sluggish!
😃 Releases "Feel-Good" Chemicals – Exercise fights stress & improves your mood!
Push Through the Hard Moments!
Feeling sore? That means your body is changing. Tired? That’s proof you’re working! Keep going—because on the other side of discomfort is the transformation you’ve been working for. ✨
This is your time. You’ve already built momentum—don’t slow down now. Your body is getting stronger, your mind is getting tougher, and the best version of YOU is just around the corner. Keep moving, keep challenging yourself, and most of all—have fun with it! 🚀🔥
