Welcome to the 10th and last episode of the Strength Project, a limited series from the makers of The Women’s Running Podcast.
I’m Esther, and she’s Holly, and we are here to help! We all know that we should be strength training these days, but it’s so confusing figuring out where to start. So we’ve put together a series designed to cut through the jargon, answer your questions AND get you fitter and stronger as a result.
The two of us are assisted by the gorgeous Kate, our resident PT and strength coach who can answer all the questions we can’t. If you have any more questions, or you’d just like to drop us a line, we would love to hear from you at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk
In our 10th episode, we’re talking about common mistakes when it comes to strength training, so you don’t make the mistakes that we have!
As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is about the part of the core we often forget – your back! Back extensions (otherwise weirdly known as the plural Supermans) are brilliant for strengthening your back and as a companion exercise to anything you’ve done to strengthen the front of your core. They look easy, but they feel spicy!
To help you get stronger this summer, we’ve got a brilliant deal on Women’s Running magazine.
