    S6|E06 Lifting without perfect form, weightlifting makes you bulky, and muscle turning in to fat

    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|E05 Pros and cons of working out at home vs the gym

    If you're starting out on a fitness journey (or maybe a little ways in but still intimidated by the gym) this episode can be very eye-opening and may be just the push you need to get in to the gym! It might also open your eyes to when it may be appropriate to invest your time and energy into making your home workout space top-notch. Everything in fitness is circumstantial and this episode helps you figure out what your best move is right now.

    S6|E05 Combination movements aren’t more efficient - do this instead

    Ready to find out one of my top pet peeves? This episode not only tells you WHAT I don’t love (that is super prevalent in a lot of workouts), but why I don’t love it, why it’s leading to discouragement, burnout, and what you can do instead!  After listening you will know how to up level any workout you come across on Pinterest, and LOTS of them on Instagram too.

Teenfitgirl ,

Informative

This is a really great podcast with lots of information I want to know. I like how is doesn’t have the same content as quite a bit of other fitness podcasts. Thank you for the great podcast and keep up the good work, Estelle!

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!
