There are tremendous health benefits to strength training - including lowering inflammation, supporting hormones, mitochondrial function, metabolic health & immune health. But based on the messages and questions we received, a lot of women out there are intimidated by strength training. Erin wanted to bring on someone who could help, so she's chatting with Nora Matthew about how to approach strength training in a sustainable way - without burning out. Because the benefits of exercise only exist if you're not *overdoing* it, which kind of flies in the face of a lot of mainstream fitness advice. And unfortunately, burnout is a trend that both Erin and Nora have seen working with thousands of women. If you want to be working out more, but you're nervous about how to start…OR you are already exercising, but feeling burnt out & unsure of what you're doing wrong… this episode is for you! This conversation will help you get started (or slow down!) with confidence. Nora owns Her Strength Studio, a female focused strength training gym in upstate NY that primarily utilizes the modalities of kettlebell, barbell, and bodyweight for functional strength training. They offer small group personal training with each client following their own curated program based on their goals, exercise history, injuries and time commitment. Her Strength Studio also offers a selection of self-led online programs and remote personal training for those who are out of the area.

With brick and mortar gyms shut down because of COVID-19, training for many has shifted online. This presents all sorts of new challenges but also opportunities. It is so important that we continue our workouts at home. This is especially true for all the new and expectant mothers out there. Not only is this crucial to maintain sanity, but you also don’t want to lose the gains you worked so hard to build in the first place. Nora Matthew is the founder of Her Strength Studio. After having her first baby, Nora also created Pregna-Fit, a unique strength training and labor preparation method for all stages of pregnancy. She runs multiple programs related to fitness for prepartum, pregnant, and postpartum women.  With people exercising at home instead of at the gym, Nora has worked hard to make sure her clients haven’t missed a beat. Adjusting to workouts without equipment and helping people set up their at-home gyms is necessary these days. There’s a lot you can do with bodyweight workouts, but to really keep it going, investing in some weights is critical. As someone who works with expecting and new moms, Nora often sees women struggling with anxiety. With all the uncertainties of the moment, it’s understandable to worry. That’s why, Nora provides targeted training advice, and works hard to maintain open lines of communication with her clients. Being there for them in a supportive but non-judgmental way goes so far in supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing. How have you adjusted to training at home instead of at the gym? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode Providing for clients when gyms are forced to close their doors Weights to invest in for your at-home workouts Special considerations for pregnant women and new mothers The key elements of rebuilding stability and strength after having a child Tips for preparing for birth far in advance Shifting your mindset to prevent over-training   Quotes “Lifting weights is important and a key element to anyone’s training program for a myriad of reasons.” [7:10] “There are exceptions, but let’s just err on the side of caution.

Why We Love Nora: Nora Matthew is the founder of Her Strength Studio. She first found a love for health and wellness as a Division I collegiate sprinter in 2009. As an American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Certified Personal Trainer, Nora trained populations from young athletes to geriatrics and finally found her passion in working with women of all ages. After having her first baby in 2012, Nora created Pregna-Fit, a unique strength training and labor preparation method for all stages of pregnancy. The program expanded in 2014 to include rehabilitative exercise from 6 weeks postpartum, Mommy & Me Strength classes, and the Mama Strength small group training program. In 2017, Nora envisioned a studio that focused primarily on women’s health. Seeing Her Strength Studio come to fruition has been one of the most nerve-wracking and exciting times in her life to date, and she would not have it any other way. Nora loves to learn and most recently become a certified StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor. On the Pod, We Discuss: How she came to specialize in strength training for women and why she is so passionate about it Her incredible program, Pregnafit, and how and why she created it Why she loves helping people get strong and prefers to avoid clients who are motivated by weight loss Why fitness is not a punishment so she will never treat it as such or try to perpetuate that thinking in her studio Why strength training is not a weight loss tool and shouldn’t be approached from that angle Why you have to ask for what you want in life Why she doesn't love the idea of ‘modifications’ for pregnant women and thinks we need to train for a different outcome instead of just tweaking what we’d normally do Why delegating, in life and in business, is so important for mental health and success How she’s redefining strength training for women Helpful Links: Her Strength Studio Her Strength Studio on Instagram Pregna-Fit Pregna-Fit on Instagram Strength Training for Pregnancy E-Book View full notes and learn more at wellnesslately.com/podcast

Nora Matthew, owner of HerStrength studio in upstate New York, spills on what it takes to be a badass, fit, working mother. She tells us how she got her business started and why it’s important for women to remain strong and fit during and after pregnancy.

She told herself she’d never open a private studio. Now she runs a hugely successful female-focused gym in New York. She was told she couldn’t grow her business if she had another baby. She was told many things about female fitness that she no longer believes, and she continues to fight those lies every day. [...]
