S6|E06 Lifting without perfect form, weightlifting makes you bulky, and muscle turning in to fat
In this episode I'm busting 3 common myths about weightlifting:
1. Weightlifting without perfect form is dangerous.
2. Weightlifting will make you bulky.
3. Muscle can turn into fat.
Have you ever heard one of these, let alone believed it and let it dictate what you chose to do for exercise? Knowledge is power and after this episode you will be able to make a more accurately informed decision.

S6|E02 7 Tips for designing your home workout space to be more consistent with exercise
How your home workout space is set up plays a huge role in you not only enjoying your workouts but also whether you choose to do them or not. Many people will look over the things I share in this episode because they seem too small, but actually it is usually the accumulation of very small barriers that make what feels like an insurmountable wall and holds you back from exercising consistently.
In this episode I cover seven things to take into consideration when setting up your home workout space. Maybe you can't do them all or maybe you can't do them to their full capacity, but ask yourself "What CAN I do?" The only way you're going to make progress is if you look at what is possible and go from there. Clarity comes from action.

I feel well informed!
Estelle alone & with her guests does a fantastic job of making you feel educated and informed in a non-judgmental and supportive way. There are many fitness influencers & trainers that take a different approach but hers rises above the rest! Every episode I’ve listened to, I’ve walked away feeling more empowered & armed with knowledge about my own body. She provides so much value!
So informative!
Estelle is such a gift to the fitness community! She breaks down complex topics in a way that are so tangible! She helps dismantle the diet culture nonsense so you’re left feeling much more empowered in your nutrition and fitness journey!
A Refreshing View on Fitness
I love this podcast and can’t recommend it enough! I feel like I’m LEARNING so much! Not just the what, but the WHY! And finally talking about good and healthy movement - not about restricting and torturing yourself into a certain size. Love it so much!! Favorite episode is the BMI episode!!!
