  • 418. What is “Heavy Lifting” & Should You Be Doing It?
    Dec 24 2024

    Lots of great fitness programs - including mine - encourage women to lift heavy weights.

    But have you ever been stumped by what exactly constitutes “heavy weights”? And how much weight it too much or not enough?

    Listener Lisa had the same question: “I’m wondering what you consider ‘heavy weights’. I’ve noticed you mention that you lift heavy weights 2 times a week. How much do you lift?”

    In this shortie episode, we dive into:

    • Debunking the myth that lifting heavy weights will make you “bulky”.
    • Why muscle mass gets even more important as we age
    • The ideal combination of weight and reps to build strong muscles

  • 417. Getting Your Family On Board with Your Healthy Changes
    Dec 20 2024

    Today’s question comes from Holly: “I want to get rid of things in my pantry, but how can I take baby steps to get my family on board? I’ve done something “new” so many times and I just want them to see the difference this time. So, I’ve done little to force this new lifestyle on them until I feel like it’s something that I am confident in. Even then, I’m prone to nagging.”

    In this short Ask Megan episode, I provide tips on exactly how to encourage your family to eat healthier, without nagging, and even without doing a pantry overhaul.

    You need this!!

    How many times have you decided to implement a new habit, only for a week later to have already “failed”?

    Well, let me let you in on a little secret…you’re probably thinking about your habits all wrong. And I bet that when you feel like you’ve failed at your habits, you’re thinking about that wrong, too.

    Monica and I discuss the unique challenges women face in habit formation - it’s not just you! - as well as the impact of invisible labor and the need for supportive habits. We’ll dive into the importance of flexibility, the necessity of embracing failure, and the shift in mindset you need to foster personal growth and self-care.

    If you want to know why you struggle so much with consistency and sticking with your routines, and you find yourself constantly discouraged by how your habits look, this episode is for you!
