In this episode of LEAN IN, we dive into the benefits of exercise beyond just weight maintenance, including stronger muscles, better sleep, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced stress and anxiety. We explore the two primary types of exercise training: cardio and strength, along with their subtypes—steady-state and interval for cardio, and endurance, hypertrophy, and strength for muscle development.
We break down the three energy systems our bodies use for different goals:
Creatine Phosphate system for strength
Glycogen system for muscle growth (hypertrophy)
Oxidative system for endurance
Finally, we walk through three example plans for three specific goals:
- Losing excess body fat
- Running a marathon
- Building strength (how many sets and reps)
We discuss how to set goals and structure your exercise program based on frequency, intensity, and progression, hopefully making the gym less intimidating. Remember, consistency is key - make your workouts fun or simple so you can stay consistent.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
