Have you ever wondered what people do with those elastic sheets that stretch?  Do you want a portable option to keep up with strength training while on your travels?

This episode is for you if you are looking to start strength training and don’t want to spend a lot of money on tools.  

 

After a shoulder injury from overtraining, I healed through six months of at-home physical therapy using resistance bands—an experience that launched my strength training journey. Resistance bands are affordable, portable, and space-saving, making them ideal for busy seasons of life. Start with the right band, focus on proper form, progress gradually, and aim for balanced full-body workouts with adequate recovery. Consistency matters more than intensity. Paired with eating well, Mediterranean diet recipes, stress management, and time management, strength training supports long-term health, mobility, and the ability to fully show up for what God calls you to do.
