Lifting Your Mood 💗 How Weight Training Boosted My Mental Health
Today's SOLO episode is all about how weight training has lifted my mood and had a huge impact on my mental health. It has been the biggest game changer for me. I hope sharing how weight training has helped me will inspire you to focus on your mental health and make a small change for the better, you deserve it.
First thing first, if you're struggling with your mental health, go and see your GP. Finding medical professionals who are in your corner, who you feel comfortable with and who really hears and understands you.
My biggest take aways from weight training:

Every week you see an improvement in your strength, you can lift a tony bit heavier and this feels SO GOOD.
Being able to see the increase in numbers bring such a sense of achievement.
The endorphin rush afterwards is THE BEST!
The social vibe of a workout where you can catch up with friends or women who have a similar focus on wellness is motivational and supportive.
Feeling stronger feels AMAZING.
You will start to see results pretty quickly in your body composition without thrashing yourself in high intensity workouts.
