I’ve started using weights in my workouts to build some muscle and become leaner and stronger :)

I got into weight lifting for the same reason I get into most things, which is pure unbridled vanity. I read or heard somewhere in my many biohacker information channels that weight lifting is the most anti-aging form of exercise, especially for women, and so I was like on my way! I wasn’t about to pay some community college bro $100 an hour at my LA Fitness to train me though so I just googled “weight lifting classes near me” and because I live a charmed and bless life I found the fucking coolest independent gym like a mile from my house and have been going there for almost a year. Vanity aside, it just makes you feel so good all the time. I love watching myself get stronger and I love the feeling after you lift something really heavy you thought you could never have lifted and I love all the neighborhood friends I’ve made there, including former PI subject and possibly coolest girl alive Petra Cortright. (Honestly a large part of my social life takes place there?) Anyway everyone over 30 should lift weights, preserve your waning muscle mass and build up your self-esteem babe.

My friend recommended strength training to me because I was always in a ton of pain because my muscles (lack thereof actually) did a bad job of holding up my loose (?) bones (I have RA), so I started strength training and it has made sooo much of a difference in terms of my energy and joint pain and general health. It’s also very mentally empowering to not feel extremely feeble and frail at all times of every day, and I think being in a more science-based strength training situation helps me prioritize feeling strong and not worrying so much about an aesthetic result.

Started working out again PP and I’m so sorry to admit, they’re right. It feels so good to exercise. I always forget until I start doing it again. Although, I have found I am the most satisfied when I’m really pushing myself. I can’t wait to be unassumingly strong af again 💪
