Stronger Than Your Boyfriend

Today on the podcast, we talk about why it is imperative to have a movement practice when you're dealing with pain or injury and what that might look like. Movement can and should be used as medicine when you have an acute injury or chronic issues. We see people living in pain who were never told that movement could actually help. We discuss the science behind our opinions and share how you can bring movement back into your life, no matter what issue you’re working with.

In this episode, we discuss:
What Does “Movement as Medicine” Really Mean?
Why Complete Rest Can Slow Recovery
How Movement Supports the Healing Process
Understanding Pain vs. Harm During Injury
What Types of Movement Are Safe When Injured
How to Modify Movement During Injury
Rethinking Injury Recovery: Movement as a Therapeutic Tool

Taking time off from training happens. Injury, burnout, work, stress, travel, or just life getting busy. Getting back into the gym usually feels harder mentally than it does physically. In this episode, Heather and Katie talk through how to return to training after a long break in a way that actually sticks.
We break down what to focus on, what to avoid, and how to rebuild strength and consistency without burning yourself out or trying to train like you never stopped.
What We Cover:
Why checking your ego matters more than your old PRs
Why starting with less than you think is the fastest way forward
Why consistency beats intensity when you are coming back
What to expect with soreness and fatigue after time off
Why RPE and reps in reserve matter more than percentages
Why volume should come before intensity
Why recovery is non negotiable when returning to training

On today’s episode of the podcast, we’re switching things up with a rapid-fire “this or that” conversation around fitness and nutrition. We move quickly through a series of questions, giving our initial gut responses first, then circle back to unpack the why behind each answer.
As always, these aren’t absolutes. Context matters, nuance matters, and we don’t agree on everything. You’re invited to play along while you listen, pick your side, and decide where you land. If you’ve got strong opinions, we want to hear them. Come continue the conversation in our Facebook group.

On this week’s episode of the podcast, we share five ways to keep your workout routine fresh. This advice comes with a caveat: doing the same boring foundational movements is how you progress and gain strength. So, you can change what hinge or squat movements each mesocycle, but you need to always be hinging and squatting. Tune in to hear how you can keep progressing while adding some extra flavor in your routine.
