How long does it really take to feel the benefits of strength training? In this first episode of a two-part series, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explore the benefits of strength training. They break the question into two parts: the immediate changes you'll feel right away and the longer-term adaptations that build strength, focus, and resilience over time. Expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of how strength training transforms not just your body, but your energy, mindset, and everyday performance. Dr. Fisher starts by explaining the instant and long-term rewards of strength training. The moment you start lifting, your body begins responding with powerful benefits like sharper focus and a better mood. And over time, those sessions compound into stronger muscles, better energy, and a more resilient body. Amy and Dr. Fisher break down one of the body's hidden superpowers: myokines. These small proteins get released during strength training and travel throughout your body, supporting your brain, organs, and overall well-being.  Dr. Fisher highlights how a single strength session can lift your mood and sharpen your mind. Research shows that after finishing a workout, most people feel clearer, calmer, and more alert. It's one of the simplest ways to reset mentally after a stressful day. According to Dr. Fisher, strength training before something big, like an interview or exam, can actually improve memory and focus. Instead of skipping your workout to read, he suggests doing it to help your brain work better under pressure. You walk in feeling grounded, confident, and ready to perform. Amy points out how many people struggle with brain fog and mental fatigue. But just twenty minutes of strength training can bring clarity, focus, and a sense of energy that lasts all day. Dr. Fisher shares how high-effort strength training helps reduce pain perception. It means your body literally becomes more tolerant of discomfort, both physically and mentally. Over time, you don't just get stronger, you feel more capable of handling life's challenges. Dr. Fisher talks about how strength training increases energy expenditure for up to 48 hours afterward and how your body keeps burning calories long after you've left the gym.  He adds that this benefit doesn't happen with regular cardio. Sure, a run burns calories in the moment, but strength training keeps the fire going for two more days.  Dr. Fisher explains that strength training also boosts muscle protein synthesis. That means your body starts repairing and building new muscle tissue long after the workout ends.  By engaging in strength training, you're not just maintaining what you have — you're actively creating a stronger, healthier version of yourself. Dr. Fisher reminds us why consistency matters so much. Every workout is an opportunity for your body to respond, adapt, and grow stronger. Skipping sessions means missing out on the positive signals your body needs to keep performing at its best. Amy encourages you to think twice the next time you feel tempted to skip the gym. That small 20-minute session could be exactly what turns your day around.  Dr. Fisher notes that these benefits don't take months to show up. The body responds immediately, even after a single workout. So if you're waiting to "feel ready," the best time is actually right now. Dr. Fisher shares that working with a strength coach can help you gain the most out of your strength training sessions.  Sometimes it's not about pushing harder, but learning how to train smarter, with the right form, effort, and recovery. Having a personal trainer in your corner keeps you accountable and helps you discover just how strong you really are. Amy says that a personal trainer helps you show up on the days you wouldn't do it alone. And those are the days your body needs it most, when stress is high, energy is low, and your brain could use that endorphin lift. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover how strength training builds confidence. You begin noticing small wins — lifting more, moving better, feeling capable. That quiet confidence often spills over into how you show up at work, home, and in relationships. How to look at exercise differently: strength training teaches discipline, resilience, and patience — qualities that serve far beyond the gym. Every session is a reminder of what your body can do. Amy closes by reminding us that strength training is one of the few things in life that gives immediate returns. For example, you walk in tired and walk out more alive.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Your bones, brain, and muscles are having the same conversation—and nutrition is the translator. Duke orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein breaks down how midlife hormone shifts accelerate bone loss, cartilage wear, and muscle decline, and why training + food choices can improve all three at once. We cover earlier DEXA timing, the bone–brain crosstalk (osteocalcin, agility, balance), and a practical plan: progressive strength, safe impact/jump options (step drops, heel drops, rebounders), grip and toe work for fall prevention, and weighted vests/rucking basics. On the nutrition side, we get specific: prioritize protein, aim for food-first calcium, and use targeted support where appropriate—vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium glycinate, collagen, and turmeric—to lower inflammation, protect joints, and support cognition. Expect clear modifications for cranky knees/shoulders, plus why consistent movement is linked to reduced dementia risk. This episode is your integrated blueprint to build bone, protect your brain, and keep muscle on your frame—so you stay strong, steady, and independent for decades. Actionable, hopeful, and BS-free—use this episode to build stronger bones, happier joints, and real confidence for the next 20 years.Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein at https://www.instagram.com/jocelyn_wittstein_md/Her book, The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, is available at booksellers._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Do you struggle to make strength training a priority because you “just don't have the time or energy”? I get it — life is busy, and the thought of adding one more thing to your plate can feel overwhelming.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss a question submitted by our amazing listener Abbey on the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus a la carte fitness classes. We all know that using progressive overload as a technique when lifting weights allows your muscles to be challenged so you can see the results you want – but what happens when you do a la carte fitness classes such as Peloton Strength workouts? Do these workouts impact your results even if you enjoy them or they are convenient? Today's episode is going to address two things. First, is it a myth that you need to lift heavy weights to get lean and lose body fat? And secondly, I discuss the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus one-time classes such as Peloton Strength and Orangetheory so you know how to choose the right training style for your goals, schedule and fitness level. If you're looking to not just lose weight but reshape your body, this episode is going to help you figure out if what you're doing is enough for the results you want to see.

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! On the episode IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon welcomes guest and Purple Patch Athlete Marina Gelman. In 2000, at the age of 40, Marina Gelman lost her college-aged daughter in a tragic car accident. At the time, Gelman was a new fitness enthusiast and avid runner. Overcome by grief after the accident, however, she holed herself up for almost two years and focused only on work to numb the pain. Unfortunately, during this time, she abandoned her fitness goals, started smoking again after a long hiatus, and put on weight; reaching over 200 pounds. Ironically, it was another tragedy a short time later, the death of her Father from a heart attack, that inspired her to start training again. As it turns out, training non-stop turned out to be a blessing and a curse. Yes, she lost weight and found relief from her stress and heartache, but she was also overtraining…severely. Marina eventually succumbed to the devastating effects of chronic fatigue. Even the simple act of walking up a flight of stairs became unbearable.  In 2012, after hearing about Matt Dixon and Purple Patch from her running club, she reached out. At the time, she was 240 pounds, her heaviest. She explained to Matt that she had only two small goals: Recover from her chronic fatigue Run three miles again. That's it. Matt set her sights higher. Not only did he give her hope, but he also gave her a long-term structured plan and a wonderful community of support. Today, Marina Gelman is a Half-Ironman finisher, with her hopes set on finishing a full Ironman in the near future. She has also lost 105 pounds and trains daily, fully recovered from chronic fatigue.   This is a story of hope and promise. Adopting an athletic mindset, regardless of where you find yourself, just may be the one spark to save your life. “Losing a child is something unimaginable to go through,” says Marina. “Sport, in a way, and running saved me from sadness for the rest of my life.” If you have any questions about the Purple Patch program, feel free to reach out at info@purplepatchfitness.com Purple Patch and Episode Resources Check out our world-class coaching and training options: Book a complementary needs assessment coaching call: https://calendly.com/coaches-purplepatch/offseason-assessment-call Tri Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/squad 1:1 Coaching: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/11-coached Run Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness/com/run-squad Strength Squad: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/strength-1 Live & On-Demand Bike Sessions: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/bike Explore our training options in detail: https://bit.ly/3XBo1Pi  Live in San Francisco?

Can a single set actually make your muscles grow? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher tackle a listener's question: Can you really get results from a single set of exercises for a muscle group? They break down the science behind single versus multiple sets and explain why effort matters more than counting reps. Tune in to discover how to train smarter, save time, and still see real strength gains. Amy kicks things off with the big question: can you really do just one set and still get the benefits of strength training?  Dr. Fisher's answer—yes, you absolutely can. That one set, if pushed with real effort, is enough to trigger results. Amy highlights a common training misconception. We've all been told that “more is better.” But the science shows that one quality set can be just as powerful as three. Dr. Fisher breaks down research comparisons of single-set versus multiple-set training. According to Dr. Fisher, effort is the key. A single set pushed to a high enough degree of effort matches the benefit of multiple sets. It's intensity, not quantity, that makes the difference. Amy points out the obvious when you train to failure. If your muscles literally cannot do another rep, what's the point of extra sets? You've already achieved the adaptation you came for. Dr. Fisher explains why stimulus matters more than volume. It's the challenge to the muscle that drives change, not the endless repetition. With this approach, you can finish a workout in 20 to 30 minutes. Dr. Fisher reframes exercise volume. It's not just sets of one exercise, it's total sets across the muscle group. Every compound and isolation move adds to the tally, whether you realize it or not. For Amy, working with a personal trainer means you don't have to guess how much volume is enough. They guide you to push just the right amount in each set, so one set can be enough if done correctly.  Dr. Fisher highlights the time trap of traditional training. Add up three sets for every exercise, plus two-minute rests, and you're suddenly in the gym for two hours.  Amy highlights why people get confused about volume. Reps and sets are easy to measure. Effort isn't—and that's why so many default to doing “more” instead of doing “enough.” Dr. Fisher shares the biggest benefit of working with a certified coach--you hit the right intensity in every session. Instead of mindlessly adding sets, they make sure the effort in each set actually counts toward growth.  Dr. Fisher explains how technology is changing the game. With exerbotics machines, effort can be measured in real time. That makes it easier to quantify progress and what actually drives results. Dr. Fisher reframes training as a dosage. The right dosage sparks adaptation. More isn't better—it's just wasted effort if the goal has already been achieved. According to Dr. Fisher, higher volume can sometimes deliver slightly bigger short-term gains. But those differences are small, hard to measure, and fade with time. Over six months to a year, single and multiple sets lead to the same results. For Amy, if one set gets you the same outcome in a quarter of the time, why spend hours chasing more? Less time lifting means more time living. Dr. Fisher shares a fascinating example from his PhD student's research. Even elite-level powerlifters—athletes pushing squat, bench, and deadlift—got stronger with a single set once a week. If that works at the highest level, it's more than enough for the rest of us.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!
