Do your joints and muscles hurt when you lift weights?

Aches and pains are one of the most common reasons why people stop lifting weights, but it doesn't have to be this way!

In fact, there is a very simple framework you can use to troubleshoot this and stop your joints from hurting when you strength train once and for all.

It is the exact framework that we use with ourselves and our clients to make sure our workouts feel great, and on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we want to share it with you.

If you have been hesitant to strength train because of how your body feels when you do it, listen up!

These three steps that we teach you will change that for you for good.

Check out all the details in this week's episode!
