82. Building a Strength Training Program That Works For You with Marilyn Clark, CPT

In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed certified personal trainer and bariatric athlete Marilyn Clark,  also known as @bodybymarilyn on IG. We discussed:

• How Marilyn changes a program for a bariatric client just beginning with resistance training
• How to adjust your training if you have a body composition goal in mind
• How to prevent injury and overtraining in your programming
• How to gauge when it's appropriate to increase weights or reps or sets
• Is it important to track your reps/sets to see progress in your training?
• How Marilyn adjusts training for menopausal females experiencing fatigue
• How Marilyn coaches someone through a plateau and what to change
