\nChloe B.: Hello, and welcome to the calmer you podcast. This is your host
\nChloe Brotheridge, I am a coach and a hypnotherapist, and I'm the author of the
\nanxiety solution and brave new girl. Thank you so much for listening today. I'm
\ntalking to you, Laura Hoggins, and she is sharing all about the power and the
\nmagic of weightlifting and why it's so amazing for us, particularly if we are
\nstruggling with anxiety and confidence.
\n
\n
\n
\nGymtimidation
\n
\n
\n
\nAnd she gets into telling us about
\nhow to overcome gymtimidation, because this is a real thing guys, I've
\nexperienced it myself. A sense of walking into the gym not knowing what to do,
\nintimidating people everywhere how do we overcome that and start to feel
\nconfident enough to go into the weights rooms and try something new, and we
\ntalk all about that. We also get into what are the mental and physical benefits
\nof lifting weights, and some of these actually really surprised me, I wasn't
\nexpecting one or two of these. And as a way of hopefully motivating you to want
\nto give it a try.
\n
\n
\n
\nWe talked about getting back into
\nexercise after a break; this was just a personal thing that I'd experienced
\nrecently. It can be so difficult if you haven't worked out in a while to then
\nget going again. How do we overcome those barriers and struggles? And Laura
\ntells us exactly how to do that. And we also get into weightlifting for anxiety
\nand confidence specifically, and what is it about weightlifting particularly
\nthat can really change our perception of ourselves and our bodies, and how we
\nfeel about ourselves, and calm us down in a different way than other types of
\nexercise.
\n
\n
\n
\nSo I think you're going to love this
\nepisode. If you're looking to grow your confidence in 2020, I'm running a free
\nchallenge in the next couple of weeks, the brave New Year confidence challenge.
\nThe last time I ran it, I absolutely loved it. Seeing you guys, helping each other,
\ntaking action, growing your confidence noticing real shifts in how you're
\nspeaking to yourselves, and how you're feeling about yourselves in the world.
\nIt was really moving for me, and I'm so excited to be able to offer this again.
\nIt's a free challenge, you can enter your details at Calmeryou.com/confidence,
\nand you get all the details of when that's starting and how to get involved. So
\nlet's get into the interview with Laura Hoggins.
