Heidi provides information, entertainment & inspiration
I have had an interest in strength training since college, 25 years ago. I also have diplegic spastic cerebral palsy. Periodically throughout my life I have joined gyms and taken classes, and purchased my own dumbbells and with the help of apps developed quite the physique at 40+.
I had a relationship with an amateur bodybuilder and he motivated me. But that didn’t last and with the pandemic and the stresses of single mom of a teen, I gained 25 pounds and started a new job in a warehouse.
Anyway, that led to some hip issues and falls and a “mallet finger” from taking off my socks wrong, so I hired a personal trainer. I’ve been at the same gym for 130 sessions now, and my current trainer is a former powerlifter.
I love strength sports, and my trainer’s modifications (based on my medical team’s advice) increase not only my strength, but improve my balance, stability and endurance.
Your podcast gives me topics to discuss with my trainer and keeps me motivated that someday I might achieve my dream and pursue competitive strength sports.
Be prepared to binge listen
I’m so happy I stumbled upon this podcast. Heidi is so filled with knowledge and entertaining. And sometimes I think that we share the same brain because she asks her guests the questions that I’m like “oh I hope she ask this” then she does!
The solo episodes are so informative (who would have guessed hanging was a thing?) especially the first meet day ones. I feel so much more prepared!
A blessing to female powerlifters 🖤
I was 2 weeks out from my first meet and was in search of content to help me be as prepared as possible. I am so grateful to have discovered your podcast. Your content definitely delivered! So grateful that you cover topics for everyone, from the newbies to the veterans. Thank you for what you are doing for women in the sport. You are appreciated!
