Okay girl—this one's spicy. II brought in my sprint coach Alex—and his coach Clay—for an explosive conversation on sprinting, strength, and self-leadership. This isn't just a convo about speed. It's about building power. It's about mastering expression. And it's about reclaiming your body's true potential. We talk about the biggest mistakes people make when they try to “run fast,” what sprinting actually is (hint: it's not running hard for 100m), and why it's the ultimate performance enhancer—for your body and your life. We go deep on the foundations you need before you sprint, how to avoid injury, and why strength alone won't make you fast. And why learning to sprint—properly—is one of the best things you can do to build a strong, fast, feminine body. If you've ever wondered whether sprinting is for you (especially in your 30s, 40s, or beyond), this episode is for you girl. Key Takeaways: Sprinting isn't just for athletes—it's for longevity. Sprint training improves bone density, tendon health, neuromuscular efficiency, and metabolic function—making it a powerful tool for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Most people “run” too far and too poorly. Sprinting is not the same as running fast. It's about short bursts of maximal effort with technical precision. Sprinting 10–30 meters with full recovery is far more effective (and safer) than “sprinting” 200m intervals. Strength training alone won't make you fast. You need a foundation of power, stiffness, mobility, and timing. Strength is the base—but sprinting demands a new level of coordination and speed expression. Speed is a skill—one that can be trained. Sprinting has its own mechanics. Learning how to project force, manage ground contact, and use your arms is essential. You won't “just get fast” by doing conditioning. Your nervous system is your limiter. Sprinting taxes the nervous system more than most people expect. That's why volume must be low, recovery must be high, and programming must be intentional. Sprinting exposes everything. Poor ankle mobility? Weak glutes? Weak core? Sprinting will reveal it. That's what makes it such a powerful diagnostic tool for movement quality. Women need access to high force outputs. Especially after 30, when muscle mass and fast-twitch fiber recruitment decline, sprinting helps women tap into explosive strength and protect performance long-term. The real magic happens when you combine strength, sprinting, and strategy. Sprinting isn't a standalone hero. It works best when layered with smart strength training and recovery—exactly what you teach inside Warrior School.

✨ Summary: Okay girl, let's talk. You keep thinking the interruptions are what's stopping your progress—your sick kid, your travel schedule, your energy dips, your injuries. But here's the truth: interruptions aren't getting in the way of your results—they are the way. In this episode, I break down why real transformation is forged inside the chaos—not in some perfectly planned, linear training program. I share how to train with life's mess, not against it. This is what I teach inside Warrior School—and it's the real reason my women keep showing up, evolving, and building the bodies they love. Let's reframe how you see setbacks, and start leading ourselves through them—because that's what creates power.

Episode Summary: Alright warrior—let's talk cardio. Not the old game of “burn more calories,” but the new game: build a body that lasts. In this episode, I break down one of the most common questions I get: “Should I be doing Zone 2 or HIIT if I want to preserve muscle, boost metabolism, and stay healthy into my 40s and beyond?” I give it to you straight. What the research says. What I see in women I coach. And how I build cardio into Warrior School training strategies. This episode will help you drop the cardio confusion and build a plan that actually works with your body, not against it. Because here's the truth: it's not about either/or. It's about timing, strategy, and execution.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Warrior Woman, welcome back. You've probably heard the term “deload” thrown around… maybe by your physio, maybe by Dr. Stacy, maybe in some performance podcast. And you might be wondering — should you be doing deload weeks? Here's the truth bomb: Most women don't need to plan them. In this episode, I unpack why your life — yes, your big, bold, busy life — is probably already handing you natural deloads. I share what a deload actually is, who needs them, and why most women are better off building consistent, intelligent training rather than obsessing over structured rest weeks. I also dish out a spicy little update on my world — from sprinting PBs and Achilles drama, to the new Warrior School Graduation Program, and my plans to bring you in-the-room, real-life live events this year. Let's go. SHOW NOTES: Are Deload Weeks Necessary for Women? | Warrior School Podcast with Amy Bowe In this episode of The Warrior School Podcast, Amy Bowe answers a big question: Should you be doing deload weeks in your training? With so much confusion around rest, recovery, and performance, Amy breaks down what a deload is, who it's actually for, and why most women don't need to schedule one — because life is already doing it for you. You'll also hear an update on Amy's sprint training (including a new personal best and a cranky Achilles), the launch of her Warrior School Graduation Program, and her upcoming live training events in Canada and Australia. Whether you're new to training or a seasoned lifter, this episode will help you rethink recovery, manage your training load, and build a body that performs — not just looks good.

EPISODE SUMMARY: What if I told you that you could build the body you want in one year instead of five? That you don't need more information—you need execution. The reason you're stuck isn't because you don't know what to do, it's because you don't trust it yet. And that's because your mind won't trust what it hasn't experienced. In this episode, I break down why execution builds trust, why hesitation is the thing holding you back, and how you can finally step into the new game—the game where results actually happen. This is about long-term commitment, showing up, and executing at the level required to get what you want. If you're tired of second-guessing, tweaking, and waiting for proof, this episode is for you. Plus—I'm opening spots in Warrior School this March. If you're ready to do the thing, click the link below to apply. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Your mind won't trust what it hasn't experienced. That's why you hesitate and second-guess. Execution is the only way to build confidence. There are only two reasons you don't have the results you want: You're not executing at the level required. Your expectations don't match reality (you haven't given it enough time). The old game of women's fitness is about chasing excitement, jumping between programs, and constantly tweaking. The new game is about following a proven system, staying consistent, and committing for at least 12 months. Biofeedback is your foundation. If you're not seeing the progress you want, start by auditing your energy, metabolism, and nervous system health. Proximity to success matters. If you don't have guidance, leadership, and a community, you'll keep feeling stuck. You need to put yourself in the right room. POWERFUL QUOTES: "Your mind won't trust what it hasn't experienced. You don't need more proof before you take action—you need action to get proof." "You're waiting for certainty before you commit, but confidence doesn't come before execution—it comes _from_execution." "If you're not seeing the results you want, you're either not executing at the level required, or you haven't given it enough time. Period." "You're playing the wrong game. The old game is about overthinking, starting and stopping, and waiting to feel ready. The new game is about showing up and doing the damn thing—every day." "If you could have done it alone, you already would have. Stop waiting. Find the support, leadership, and guidance you need." JOIN WARRIOR SCHOOL: Spots are open this March for Warrior School. If you're ready to stop overthinking and actually do the work, apply now. We'll jump on a call, talk about your goals, and see if this is the right fit for you.

EPISODE SUMMARY:  Warrior Woman, if you feel like you're doing all the things in your training—lifting, running, tracking your food—but you're still not seeing the results you want… this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about efficiency—because you can only scale efficiency. If your training isn't efficient, if you don't own your movements, if your execution isn't locked in—adding more work, more reps, more weight is just scaling dysfunction. And dysfunction doesn't build strength. It builds frustration, burnout, and injury. I'll walk you through the Hierarchy of Training Needs—my four-layer approach to making your training efficient, effective, and powerful. We're breaking down the most common inefficiencies I see in women's training, why they're keeping you weak and stuck, and the exact process I use inside Warrior School to help my women build strong, lean, athletic bodies. If you're tired of working hard and getting nowhere, press play now. Let's make your training work for you—not against you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

EPISODE SUMMARY: Warrior Woman, grab your coffee—we're going for a walk. It's freezing here, but I've got something HOT for you today.

Episode Summary: Let's talk about earning the ease. So many women look at me and say, “It must be nice. It looks so easy for you.” But what they don't see is the work. The effort. The years of reps, discipline, and learning. Nothing I've done in training, business, or life has come naturally to me. I've had to earn it.

Today, we're kickin' of the process of creating your ultimate 2025 training plan and strategy. Oooo yes we are girl. I'm going to take you through a core theme—Simple, Right, Better, Deeper—that will guide everything you do in your training and health this year. You don't need to do more—you need to do the right things better and go deeper into them. I'll also break down the three non-negotiables you need for a strong plan—structured training, eating enough damn food, and proper recovery. Let's create a plan that's elegant, simple, and something you can actually stick to. Sound good? Let's dive in. Key Takeaways 1. Your 2025 Core Theme: Simple, Right, Better, Deeper Simple: Strip it back. You don't need more variety or complexity—you need simplicity. Simple = consistent. Right: What's right for you right now? Where's your body at? What's the season of your life? Focus on what you need in this moment. Better: It's not about adding more—it's about improving what's already working. Dial it in. Make it better. Deeper: You don't need to find the next shiny thing—you need to go deeper into the foundational stuff: proper training, eating, and recovery. 2. Three Essentials for 2025 A Proper Training Program: No random workouts, no guessing. You need a structured plan that meets you where you're at, helps you move better, and builds serious strength. Eat Enough Damn Food: Food is fuel. If you want more energy, more strength, and better results, you need to eat. Period. 3. Rest and Recovery: Sleep, manage your stress, get outside, and move intentionally. Recovery isn't optional—it's essential.Set Less Goals (Less is More) Stop overloading your plate. Pick 1-2 key goals and focus on them. Shift from long-term planning to shorter-term blocks: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days max.Close the Expectation-Reality Gap - So many of us set goals based on where we want to be rather than where we are. You can't expect big results if your foundation isn't strong. Focus on building health first, then performance, and aesthetics will follow. 5. Traffic Light Assessment Use the traffic light system to figure out what needs your attention: Red: Stop. Needs urgent focus. Orange: Needs improvement. Green: Good to go—keep doing it. 6. The Warrior School Framework: Health, Performance, Aesthetics Health: This is your foundation. Hormonal health, metabolic balance, and nervous system resilience matter. Performance: Train with intention. Learn how to move well, own your movement, and build strength. Aesthetics: This is a byproduct of doing the first two well. It happens over time as you go deeper into health and performance. I want you to join me for a free live workshop where I'll guide you through this process. We'll use this core theme and my Warrior School framework to build your ultimate 2025 training plan - sign up will be out this week.

Today's EP is a spicy one

I recently read TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking, and it reminded me of something fundamental—More isn't better, better is better. In this EP, I share how the principle of a “single connected thread” can transform your results in health, fitness, and life. We'll explore how stripping back, simplifying, and going deeper is the real secret to building the body and life you love. You don't need to do more; you need to do better. Key Takeaways: [00:02:30] My performing arts background shaped my love for speaking and storytelling. [00:05:10] The secret to an impactful TED Talk: focus on a single connected thread. [00:07:00] The same principle applies to training—less is more, and focus is everything. [00:10:20] “The secret to building a body you love lies in what you leave out.” [00:12:45] More isn't always better; better is better. [00:15:30] To train smarter, focus on the essentials and go deeper. [00:17:50] Ask yourself: What truly needs your attention right now? [00:20:15] Simplicity and focus lead to results—it's not easy, but it's worth it. [00:23:00] “You don't need to do more classes, miles, or supplements—you need to do what matters most.” [00:25:45] Audit your life: Where are your energy leaks? [00:28:30] To get results, slash back, simplify, and properly develop one thing at a time. Quotes to Remember: “Less can be more. The secret often lies in what you leave out.” “More isn't better. Better is better.” “Simplicity is beautiful and powerful—it's about doing the right thing, not everything.” The Warrior School Podcast is for women ready to break free from feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected from their bodies. Hosted by Amy Bowe—strength coach, dietitian, and creator of Warrior School—this podcast is here to help you build a body you love and live a life that feels truly yours. Amy dives deep into three core struggles women face: low energy, not trusting or liking their bodies, and feeling uncertain about how to train effectively. With a warm yet no-nonsense style, she shares her 15+ years of coaching experience, showing you how to harness the power of strength training, nutrition, and recovery to reclaim your energy, confidence, and connection. Each episode breaks down Amy's framework of building a ‘good body' by focusing on three essential pillars: Health, Performance, and Aesthetics. You'll hear stories of women who have transformed by building strength and resilience—and learn actionable strategies to improve your energy, train smarter, and feel proud of how you look, move, and live.

As I drive home from the dentist, drinking a cortado, we chat about how you can enhance your nutrition and training to achieve specific body composition goals, especially for women who feel stuck despite consistently showin' up. I talk about the importance of looking deeper at your foundation, nutrition and training, the benefits of incorporating elements from different sports like bodybuilding and CrossFit, and the significance of lifestyle factors including stress management, alcohol and sleep on body composition and results. Some key things we chat about Go Deeper, Not Harder: It's not about adding more. The secret lies in refining what you're already doing—whether it's squeezin' more out of your nutrition, training, stress management, or sleep. Optimise each element to make the most of your efforts. Identify What's Holding You Back: If you're doing the work but still not seeing the results, it's time to get brutally honest about what's holding you back. For many, this could be their relationship with alcohol or not pushing hard enough in training. Own it, declare it, and create an action plan to move past it. Understand the Time Commitment: Real, lasting body composition change takes time—2 to 5 years, on average. If you're consistent and committed, you'll start seeing big results, but remember it's about building a solid foundation first, both physically and mentally. Expect this journey to be longer than you think, but well worth it. Your Mindset is Key: The most important factor in making a lasting change isn't your training program—it's your mindset. Managing your thoughts, overcoming your fears, and believing in yourself are all critical in pushing through and making the progress you want. The Long Way Home is Worth It: If you're serious about building the body you love, the process will take time. But this approach will not only give you lasting results, but also the strength, resilience, and mindset to thrive in alllllll areas of life. - 00:00 Introduction to Training - 17:03 Analysing Your Training Routine - 17:41 Incorporating Bodybuilding Techniques - 17:58 Exploring CrossFit and High-Intensity Training - 20:16 Auditing Your Training Elements - 20:50 Addressing Lifestyle Factors - 22:35 Overcoming Personal Barriers - 24:11 The Role of Alcohol in Fitness - 27:24 Setting Long-Term Goals - 29:49 The Timeframe for Body Composition Changes The Warrior School Podcast is for women ready to break free from feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected from their bodies.

In this EP, I'm diving into a powerful conversation inspired by one of my warriors stuck in a cycle of comparison, scrolling through social media and feeling defeated about her body.  Sound familiar?  Together, we explored what it really takes to build a strong, healthy, and beautiful body you love. Spoiler: it's not quick fixes or unrealistic expectations—it's about respect, time, and intentional training. When you're tempted to compare yourself to fitness influencers, I'll share two critical questions to ask and explain why honouring your training age and focusing on the right strategies can transform your journey.  If you've ever felt frustrated by slow progress or struggled to balance inspiration with comparison, this EP is for you. Key Takeaways: Understand the concept of training age; real progress takes years of consistency. Build your foundation with proper nourishment, energy, and recovery. Train with intention and intensity to achieve lasting body composition changes. Comparing yourself to others without context is unhelpful and often disrespectful. Focus on what your body can do, not just how it looks. Every woman's body is unique; your journey is about building the body you love. Social media can inspire or trigger; curate your influences wisely. Progress takes time—commit to a minimum of 2-5 years for meaningful transformation. Training, not casual exercise, is key to building a strong, athletic body. Shift the focus from external comparisons to internal growth and resilience.

Have you ever thought, “I'm doing all the right things—training consistently, eating well, managing stress—but I still don't love how I look?” If that sounds familiar, this Ep is for you girl. I had this exact conversation with a woman at The Elegant Edge recently. She's the strongest and healthiest she's ever been—her body can do what she wants it to—but she still doesn't feel confident or happy with how she looks. So, what's the missing piece? In This EP, we'll dive deep into the Body Pyramid I teach in Warrior School—a framework for building a body you love by focusing on Health, Performance, and Aesthetics (in that order). Most women skip straight to chasing the "look" without fully committing to the foundation. Spoiler: it doesn't work that way. In today's jam, I'll explain why aesthetics are the byproduct of health and performance—and why building a body you love is about doing the right things better, not just doing more. This is about taking the long way home, building the foundation, training with elegance and intensity, and rewiring your mindset to create sustainable transformation. Key Take Aways Building a body you love requires a solid foundation of health and performance before aesthetics can naturally emerge as a byproduct. Many women who train consistently and eat well still struggle with body dissatisfaction because they focus solely on aesthetics instead of the base of the pyramid: health and performance. Achieving significant body composition changes is a long-term process that often takes 2-5 years of consistent effort and intentional practice. Progress isn't about doing more; it's about doing the right things better, such as refining nourishment, recovery, stress management, and training intensity. Mindset plays a crucial role in transformation, as managing fears, stories, and limiting beliefs is as important as the physical work. Success often requires support from a team or coach to guide you effectively and ensure you stay on the right path toward your goals. Quote: "Body composition isn't something we can force; it's a byproduct of health and performance." "Many women chase the top of the pyramid— aesthetics—without fully committing to building the base of health and performance." "It's not about doing more; it's about doing the right things better." "Building a body you love takes time: a year to build your foundation, a year to train with elegance and intensity, and sometimes years to achieve the transformation you envision." "We come for the training, but we stay for the mindset." "Focus on the practice and process, and as a byproduct, your body will change." "You can't do it all alone; you need a team to help you achieve your goals." If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like your body doesn't reflect the effort you're putting in, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and the tools to move forward. It's not about doing more; it's about doing better. Let's reframe the way you think about your body and the work it takes to create a body you love. Loved this episode?

In this podcast EP, I discuss various conversations and challenges faced by the Warriors in Warrior School over the last few weeks. I talk about low energy and frustration with lack of progress. I also tackle issues like low motivation, the importance of focusing on the process rather than the outcome, the fear of injury, and the importance of consistent training. So, I thought I'd share some of what came up. Maybe you'll find it helpful—or maybe not.

Ooooh I have a short 'n' sweet episode for ya today. This topic is super close to my heart. This EP is from my Instagram stories. I discuss the common misconception among women that the root cause of their dissatisfaction with their bodies is weight, whereas it's actually a deeper disconnection with themselves. I introduce a framework built on three essential pillars – health, performance, and aesthetics – which are necessary to build a powerful relationship with our bodies. I highlight the importance of building a foundation of health, improving body performance, and viewing aesthetics as a byproduct of the first two pillars. Additionally, I highlight the significance of mindset and vision in fostering a healthy relationship with our bodies. Finally, I challenge you to define what a 'good body' means to you personally. 00:00 Understanding the Disconnection Problem 00:35 The Three Essential Pillars of a Good Body 01:04 Health: The Foundation of a Good Body 01:28 Performance: Living Life on Your Own Terms 02:02 Aesthetics: The Top Layer 02:30 Wrapping It All Together: Mindset and Vision 03:03 Defining a Good Body in All Three Layers 07:22 What Does a Good Body Mean to You?

In this EP of the Warrior School podcast, I discuss various topics that have been on my mind lately, including the challenges of the past few months, avoiding discomfort, the importance of hard conversations, and the idea of being too busy to be brilliant. Additionally, I touch on leading yourself to lead others, the significance of building a strong foundation, the distinction between knowledge and action, moving slowly towards certainty, and avoiding the trap of majoring in the minors. 00:00 Welcome to the Warrior School Podcast 01:39 Avoiding Discomfort: A Deep Dive 08:29 The Importance of Hard Conversations 17:34 Too Busy to Be Brilliant? 22:35 Leading Yourself to Lead Others 29:39 Building a Strong Foundation 32:33 Knowledge vs. Action 35:33 Moving Slowly Towards Certainty 39:52 Majoring in the Minors 43:03 Covering More Distance with Each Stride 45:26 Wrapping Up and Feedback The Warrior School Podcast is for women ready to break free from feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected from their bodies.

In this EP, I share my breakthrough in sprinting—and how I am working through my knee injury. I talk about combining grace and grit in training to achieve 'peak hotness'—a state of strength and beauty. Libby and I invite you to join us in the upcoming 'Elegant Edge' event to help you learn how to combine grit and grace so you can work towards achieving peak hotness. I feature testimonials from Warrior School members who have experienced significant personal and physical transformations in WS. Key Takeaways: The Power of Technique: Mastering the technical aspects of movement can transform your performance, as seen in sprinting and Olympic weightlifting. Grit vs. Grace: Both elements are essential for effective training. It's not about choosing one over the other; it's about combining them to achieve better results. Embrace Your Journey: Progress may feel slow and frustrating at times, but reviewing past performances can highlight significant improvements. Balancing Act: Many women struggle between lifting heavy and maintaining form. Finding the sweet spot allows for both strength and elegance. Peak Hotness: Define what "peak hotness" means for you. This concept encompasses feeling strong, confident, and empowered while embodying both strength and beauty. Community Support: Engaging with a supportive community, like the Warrior School, can enhance your training experience and keep you motivated. Mindset Shift: Reframe the way you view your training. It's not about perfection; it's about progress and the joy of movement. - 00:00 Introduction and Sprint Session Recap - 00:51 The Obsession with Technique - 03:04 Challenges and Breakthroughs in Sprinting - 06:22 Balancing Grace and Grit - 10:06 Achieving Peak Hotness - 15:06 Warrior School Testimonials Connect with Me: If you loved this episode, make sure to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss a new one!

I'm takin' you BTS of the Warrior Queen Olympics – a 10-week challenge where warriors train like athletes in their chosen sport. I also had guest expert Dr. Stacy Sims join Warrior School to share her insights on the importance of being 'selfishly' committed to one's training and the concept of taking up space. I talk about the three biggest challenges you'll face when it comes to your training including managing your energy, and mindset and committing to the long-term process of building a strong foundation. Key Topics: The launch of the Warrior Queen Olympics and what's to come over the next 10 weeks. Testing week: Why trying new lifts and movements can be both humbling and incredibly empowering. Dr. Stacy Sims' insights on training, eating, and recovering like an athlete, particularly for women in their 30s and 40s. The importance of being selfish with your time and energy as an athlete, and taking up space in every aspect of your life. My reflections on Steven Pressfield's concept of "The Resistance" and the journey of the athlete. The three critical questions every warrior must ask: How much do you love it? How much do you want it? And how much are you willing to give? Why falling in love with the process and cultivating joy in training is crucial for long-term success. The three biggest challenges you'll face when it comes to your training If you're ready to push yourself, think like an athlete, and see what's truly possible, I invite you to check out WS.

Quotes to Remember: "The difference between a recreational athlete and an elite athlete is that athletes are selfish. They're selfish with their time, their sleep, and their energy." – Dr. Stacy Sims "However hard you think it will be, it's 10 times harder. However long you think it will take, it's 10 times longer. And however much you think it will cost, the price is 10 times higher." – Steven Pressfield "We need to train for the rest of our lives – so, fall in love with the process and the practice." – Amy Bowe Take the Challenge: Share this Episode: Found this episode powerful?

Here's what you'll learn: The Warrior Queen Olympics Why it's crucial to train your eye to recognise good versus poor movement, both in yourself and on social media. Observations on a highly-followed fitness influencer who, despite her large following and success, demonstrates poor movement techniques and ineffective training methods. Critique common fitness trends like HIIT and ab-centric workouts, explaining why they may not be sufficient for building strength, improving body composition, or reducing injury risk. Key Elements of Good Movement: Technique, Range of Motion, Control and Stability & Flow and Fluidity Evaluating the weight being lifted and the intensity of the workouts. My personal criteria for accepting health and fitness advice, focusing on the alignment between body composition and effective training practices.

Show notes In this EP, I dive deep into the topic of joint pain and optimising tendon strength for women in their late thirties, forties, and beyond. I share my observations from working with women over the past few years, discussing the increased prevalence of conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and shoulder injuries in this age group—especially during perimenopause.  The EP covers the anatomy of tendons, how they adapt to stress, and factors that affect tendon health, such as exercise, nutrition, and recovery. We'll also discuss the influence of hormonal changes during perimenopause on tendon health and provide practical advice for managing and preventing tendon issues.  If you're experiencing joint pain or tendon problems, this EP is packed with insights to help you understand and optimise your tendon health. Key Takeaways: Tendons adapt to mechanical stress but require more time and proper loading compared to muscles. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can increase the risk of tendon injuries. Adequate nutrition, particularly protein intake, is crucial for collagen synthesis and tendon health. Progressive overload and appropriate rest are essential for strengthening tendons. Seek professional help if experiencing persistent tendon issues, and consider advanced treatments if necessary. 00:00 Introduction to Joint Pain and Tendon Strength 00:42 Types of Research: Quantitative vs. Qualitative 02:00 Observations on Joint Pain in Women Over 40 03:58 Understanding Tendons: Anatomy 101 06:42 Factors Affecting Tendon Health 08:25 Exercise and Training: Building Tendon Strength 16:59 Nutrition's Role in Tendon Health 18:16 Rest and Recovery: Essential for Tendon Repair 19:04 Managing Tendon Injuries: Practical Advice 29:05 Hormonal Changes and Tendon Health in Perimenopause 32:56 Preventing Tendon Issues: Tips and Strategies 33:44 Conclusion and Support For more resources and to stay connected, visit Warrior School.

Show notes In this episode, I explore the critical importance of muscle mass for women. I discuss the optimal muscle mass needed, how to achieve and maintain it, and why it's essential for our health, including physiological, hormonal, metabolic, and mental. Highlighting recent research in women's health and fitness, I challenge traditional approaches focused on weight loss and reduced activity. Instead, I emphasise the 'more' approach—advocating for more muscle, more energy, more food, and more optimal training. I delve into the science of muscle growth, training strategies, the influence of age and hormones, and the importance of a well-rounded muscle-centric lifestyle.  00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Muscle Mass for Women 02:58 The Vision: Health and Body Goals 04:13 A New Approach: Adding More Muscle 06:33 Defining Optimal Muscle Mass 09:02 Understanding Muscle Composition and Averages 13:03 The Role of Muscle in Overall Health 19:02 Training and Nutrition for Muscle Growth 24:09 The Science of Building Muscle 36:53 Achieving and Maintaining Optimal Muscle Mass 42:01 Conclusion: Steps to Build and Maintain Muscle For more resources and to stay connected, visit Warrior School.

Episode 250 baby! Today, I share some recent experiences and get into the exciting details of what's coming up next inside WS and my world. I give you the BTS look at the new WQ Forge and Form Challenge and share how you can bring more ease and joy to your training this year.  Main Takeaways: Challenges as Lateral Connection: I see these challenges as more than just fitness goals. They're a way for us warriors to connect, share our wins, and enjoy the journey together. Balancing Structure and Novelty: We all crave structure, but we also want our training to be fun. Finding that balance between stability and playfulness is the ongoing challenge. Understanding the Craving for Change: I've noticed that the desire for change often comes from an energy deficit—both physically and mentally. Recognising and addressing this is key for sustainable progress. Evaluating Energy Levels: Low mental and emotional energy can impact our workouts. It's essential to recognise and address mental load and stress for consistent training. Importance of Environment: Whether you're working out at home or in a gym, your training environment matters. It can significantly influence your motivation and focus. Creating Personal Challenges: I encourage you to design your own 10-week challenges. Start with a baseline routine and add in elements that challenge and excite you. Year of Ease and Effortlessness: Let's make this year about bringing more ease, effortlessness, and enjoyment into our health and training. It's all about more energy, clear plans, and professional guidance. Exciting Developments: I've got some exciting projects in the works, including the Warrior Foundations course. It's designed for a cohort experience, focusing on interaction, lateral connection, and live learning. Featured on the show: Warrior School https://warriorschool.co/

In this episode, I shared updates on upcoming plans for Warrior School, including new additions like circles, live events, and frameworks. Despite intense planning, not everything was completed due to unforeseen challenges. Reflecting on the project, I considered what worked, what didn't, and the next steps. Looking forward to 2024, I shared three impactful thoughts, touching on relationships, simplicity in health concepts, and the importance of personal transformation for achieving goals. The main focus was on perimenopause as a tipping point in women's health, exploring neurological rewiring and its impact on long-term health. I discussed Lara Briden's insights, emphasising that perimenopause is a natural phase that shouldn't inherently be symptomatic. Digging into the research, I highlighted the neurological origins of perimenopausal symptoms and their potential links to neurodegenerative diseases. The critical role of estrogen in regulating brain systems was emphasised, and I provided insights on how strength training and nutrition tailored for women in their 40s and 50s can be a game-changer. The key takeaway is that perimenopause is a pivotal moment for women to optimise their bodies, with strategic eating, purposeful training, and prioritizing self-care. It's time to embrace a revolutionary approach to women's health and fitness, seizing the moment and playing to win. What you'll discover: Warrior School updates: Circles, live events, and frameworks.

Show notes This year, I ran two training challenges inside of WS. We just wrapped up our second one in November - Warrior Queen 2.0 Play to Win. This challenge was all about how well you play the game. The Warriors chose a level to play at. Each level had certain tasks they had to complete. They accumulated certain points for each task, and then had the option of collecting bonus points. In today's EP, I have Warrior Kelsea Sutton on the podcast (for the third time). Kels talks about her experience during Warrior Queen 2.0 Play to Win. She shares the challenges she faced during the challenge and how she overcame them. She talks about her wins over the 10-weeks and what she's excited about for 2024. What you'll discover What playing to win means to Kelsea How she felt about the WQ challenge when it was first presented What level she played at during the challenge and why What was involved with her level The challenges she faced over the 10-weeks and how she overcame them Her results over the 10-weeks Kelsea's biggest learning and win during the ten weeks What she is excited about for 2024 Featured on the show Conquer your first pull-up course https://warrior-school.circle.so/c/conquer-your-first-pull-up-course/ About Warrior School https://warriorschool.co Apply for Warrior School https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdS7OVobSu60FFc1pyIQVySKasuwjWvWnttTJOMRrgj6MLEPw/viewform Related podcast episodes Episode 111: Owning your training and building a capable body with Kelsea Sutton https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/warrior-school/id1470895252?i=1000559154961

Sometimes in our training it can be hard to find that sweet spot. The perfect balance between technique, weight, quality and control. For some of us, we always err on the side of caution. Not pushing the weight, or ourselves too much. We conserve. Maybe due to fear of injury, or not being able to finish the session. For others, we are driven by weight. It's often our only measure of 'success' and sometimes this is at the detriment to our technique and tempo. So, how do we find our sweet spot? That combination of performing the movement correctly (so we get the most out of it), pushing ourselves hard enough (so we are makin' gains') and not just measuring our success by how much we lift... The secret is all about combining 'the variables' in the right way, and introducing fresh stress to your muscles. If you have the variables right the movement should feel good and progress over time and your body will change. How do you do that? There are five key variables in your session - reps, sets, weight, rest and tempo. At least one of these variables needs to be changing over time in a way that challenges you. The technical term for this is progressive overload. If you fail to do this right your body gets used to the stimulus and your results plateau. In fact increasing weight is a really overused variable. Women get so stuck on trying to increase the weight on the bar, which can often lead to them making very small improvements to their physique and strength. Over the next two weeks we are going to look at the five ways you can progress your training with ease and confidence in our two part teaching call series. What you'll discover The importance of introducing new stresses on the body. The five variables you can change in your training to make it harder. You'll practice prescribing progressive overload to a training program and have a chance to apply progressive overload to your training. You'll walk away with a clear framework for you to take into your training sessions so you can progress each session with ease and confidence.

'The New Game' is part of a story driven business framework. This helps you set up your business as a 'zag' away from what everyone else is doing, and help your clients win as their world changes around them. This positions you as an evangelist, or leader for a specific 'change'. You create a business we want to be a part of. In this conversation, Amy Bowe (Warrior School) and I go through a few steps of this framework, to see how it could fit with her current business.

Show notes We have these goals that we are working towards to help us achieve the body and life we want. But...how are we thinking about our goals, and what do we do when we feel like what we are doing isn't working. Should we keep going after the goal? How do we know whether we give up or keep going? In this episode, I talk about vision and goal setting and the cost of goals. I share a process I use inside of Warrior School to help my Warriors know if they should change course of keep going with their goals. Discover why establishing your vision and goals and understanding the cost (and all the added benefits) of setting your goal is very important for anything you want to achieve. What you'll discover Where I learnt to create vision and goals from The power of creating (and being clear on) your vision How goals feed into your vision How to think about your goals What to do when you feel like it's not working or you want to give up The cost of goals Being okay with the cost The process for deciding whether or not to keep going after the goal The benefits and costs of goals Being in alignment with your goals Featured on the show Little Black Stretch Pants By Chip Wilson https://www.amazon.ca/Little-Black-Stretchy-Pants-Wilson/dp/1948122340 Conquer your first pull-up course https://warrior-school.circle.so/c/conquer-your-first-pull-up-course/ About Warrior School https://warriorschool.co Apply for Warrior School https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdS7OVobSu60FFc1pyIQVySKasuwjWvWnttTJOMRrgj6MLEPw/viewform Related podcast episodes Episode 146: Is your vision and goals, yours?

I'm obsessed with helping women work towards their first strict pull-up. I'm so obsessed I created a course on ‘how to conquer your first strict pull-up'. The conquer your first strict pull-up course is broken down into seven sections and has eleven lessons. And… the star of the show … a very cool and in-depth program broken down into four key milestones. I know, you probably just wanna get into the program. To the fun, juicy stuff. But a key part of this course is understanding how it all fits together. That's why I didn't just write a pull-up program. I want you to have the whole storyline. All the juicy deets. The course will help you understand how to conquer your first pull-up through education, videos, a clear plan and a very structured program. This course is for women, or people, who train and have never done a pull-up before, or who have previously done one but haven't in a long time.**** WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER Why I created the course What's in the course Who's it for How the course will help you conquer your first strict pull-up IT LAUNCHES TODAY - SEPTEMBER 30 HERE'S THE LINK TO BUY IT https://warrior-school.circle.so/c/conquer-your-first-pull-up-course/ FEATURED ON THE SHOW The conquer your first pull-up course https://warrior-school.circle.so/c/conquer-your-first-pull-up-course/ About Warrior School https://warriorschool.co Apply for Warrior School https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdS7OVobSu60FFc1pyIQVySKasuwjWvWnttTJOMRrgj6MLEPw/viewform Download my FREE bodyweight strength program https://amykatebowe.ck.page/9925443715

Tina Meyers joins us today, and we dive right into stories about her time as a young girl in Buffalo, NY, and how her sensitive disposition contrasted those around her. A quiet and creative child who loved the water, Tina eventually became a lawyer, where she finally found her voice in the world. Before wrapping up Act 1, we converse about the power of stepping out of comfort zones, the importance of listening to the heart and finding the courage to look outside of ourselves in the pursuit of service.

“I looked fit, leaner and happy. Sexy” - Leah In today's episode, I chat with one of my Warriors, Leah. Leah is 36, an Indiana wedding photographer, wife to Landon and mama to her two boys Finn and Johann. On our October coaching call, Leah shared so many cool wins with me that I took notes. This stuff is SO good. I had to share it with you. So, I asked her to come on and talk about her journey over the last 15 months. Here are my original notes from our call in October [this is what we chat about on today's episode] Loved the strengthen your confidence challenge Pushed harder than she's ever trained before Trained with sister and cousin who have been training for 2+ years and lifted more than them Encouraged them to push harder - she felt like a leader The challenge taught her that she's capable of so much more in her training Noticed big changes in her body composition over the last few months Hasn't gotten rid of clothes as she wanted them to fit her again Found a pair of jeans - put them on and they fit better than they ever have - “OMG, they fit and my booty looks great” It's a win to try on clothes that fit and feel so good in them Seeing changes gives her more motivation to keep going - she's inspired “I feel better, I'm stronger, can move well, and I feel sexier” Didn't believe it was possible to feel strong, sexy and confident - now she believes and knows it works Sister took a picture of her on Halloween and she loved how she looked - “I looked fit, leaner and happy. Sexy” “I like how I feel so I want to start something with my husband” My husband started a training program - “I've tried to get him to train for years” He's started to care about his health and the way he looks - “I think he's seen me training and can see the changes and my confidence” Improved relationship “It's exciting and fun for me to watch him train. I was watching him the other day and was like OMG! Wow.” It's a turn-on Training helps us build confidence. Confidence allows us to open ourselves up to what's possible for our lives and relationships. If you want to get turned on by a pair of jeans, a photo and a husband who trains you have to come and check out Warrior School. Applications for Warrior School will open in January.

Show notes An idea I've held over the last month is this concept of: “How can take it to the next level?”  Not just in my training and work.

As an independent health researcher & brain rewiring coach.  Theresa has a powerful story. One that saw her on the brink of death - suffering and just existing in a dark hole of hopelessness, to living a life full of passion in a healthy and functioning body.  After being diagnosed with Lyme and co-infections, Epstein Barr Virus, heavy metal and mould toxicity, SIBO, candida, chronic fatigue, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, infertility, osteoporosis, “leaky gut,” early onset ovarian failure, mast cell activation syndrome, parasites, C. diff, gastroparesis, osteoporosis, and a host of other conditions, she set out on a journey to heal sustainably and find beauty in the process when traditional treatments failed.

What's your relationship with discomfort like? Do you spend time “with” discomfort, or do you try to move away from it? Avoid it? I'm fascinated with our relationship to discomfort and in today's episode, I talk about my current experience with deliberate heat and cold exposure. We also discuss the science behind heat and cold exposure as a way to improve health and recovery. And I share the specific protocols that have been shown to improve health and recovery.  I'm not a specialist in temperature exposure therapy. It is a very potent stimulus.

What is a good body? Is it one that … Looks a certain way?  Feels a certain way?  Functions a certain way? Does what you want it to do? Like you, many women I work with label their body as _"bad" _because it doesn't look or feel the way they want them to feel. We often have this friction between our functioning body and how our body looks. And when our body doesn't look or feel a certain way we feel unsafe, therefore we think it's "not good", But. What if we changed the language? In today's episode, I talk about how we can change the way we talk about our body and how it will help us redefine who we are, and our relationship with ourselves. If you'd like to work on your relationship with your body - you have to come and check out Warrior School - it's my online coaching program for women - who are all over the world. I help you redefine your relationship with yourself and your body through coaching and training. I'd love to have you join us.

Episode Notes In this episode, I talk about the importance of believing hard and being turned ON by what you want. For a few weeks I've had these two concepts written on a posit note next to my computer. They aren't my concepts. When I hear a concept I'll write it down, stick it behind my computer and get to work on internalizing it. I let it marinate into me. The believing hard concept I got from Brooke Castillo. The getting turned on concept I got from Monica Yates. In today's episode, I talk about how we can use them to achieve what we want. You have to believe hard that you can get out of the pit or black hole, overcome pain or injury, get stronger and healthier, and change your body composition. Believing hard is so important - in today's episode, I talk about why. You know that button on your iPhone that you click “ON”' and it activates some kind of function?! It unlocks something. What if you could click your ON button and achieve what you want to achieve in your life? If you enjoyed this episode you have to come and check out Warrior School - it's my monthly coaching program for women - where we take all this material and apply it - we use it to help you build a body and life that turns you ON!

Today, my guest is Jeanne Rubin, who is the founder of EastWestHealing with her Husband Josh - AKA 'the realfoodgangstas'. Josh and Jeanne are pioneers in restoring thyroid and metabolic health and have taken “food as medicine” to the next level.   They have over 20 years of research and experience - which means they are pretty close to unlocking the secret to what defines a healthy, healing and sustainable diet. Which is…..You. Or more specifically your ability to metabolise and process not only the food you eat but the environment you live in, into energy – your body's most basic and fundamental need.

In today's episode, I talk about Taking the Long Way Home. My first EVER podcast episode, two years ago, was on "Taking the Long Way Home"- 120 episodes later, I feel like I'm only just getting started. And I'm still talking about Taking the Long Way Home. Like you, and many other women I've worked with, or who follow me and listen to the podcast, I found myself at the bottom of the pit - weak, broken and stressed. And I had to get back up.   You might see me on Instagram doing all these completely amazing things with my body.  Hanging, rope climbing, handstands, beautiful clean and snatches and with this beautiful athletic body, but one day I got injured and I had to start all the way from the bottom.   What happened to me was not able to be overcome in a 12 week transformation or by setting an aesthetic goal. I had to take the long road home. I had to rebuild a strong foundation to support my vision. This took years, not weeks or months. Now in Warrior School, I coach women all over the world, to do just that - to take the long way home.  And I want to share with you first hand, the journey my warriors take to get out of the pit. So, Warrior, do you need help getting out of the pit? If this episode resonates with you, I invite you to apply for Warrior School.

We're going a bit off the topic of myths this week, because so many of you have been asking me, in terms of fitness, health and recovery, what is the long way home?  What does that really mean?  And I get that, because a goal needs to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely otherwise it's just this obscure, arbitrary, vast unattainable thing way out in some time in the future, maybe never. My guest today, Amy Kate Bowe is a Strength and Conditioning Coach who was once like me and many of my clients, followers and listeners.  She found herself at the bottom of the pit and had to get back up.  You might see her on instagram doing all these completely amazing things with her body.  Hanging, rope climbing, handstands, beautiful clean and snatches and with this beautiful athletic body, but one day she got injured and she had to start all the way from the bottom.  What happened to her was not able to be overcome in a 12 week transformation or by setting an aesthetic goal. She had to take the long road home.   Now in her Warrior School, she coaches women all over the world, to do just that.  I have had the pleasure of working alongside Amy with some of her clients and I have seen first hand, their leaps and bounds forward in not just making aesthetic changes to their bodies, but first and foremost increasing their capability, capacity and performance for life, like no other. In this episode, we discuss. Building a strong body from the ground up The short way home vs the long road home. A little bit about both our journeys to recovery. Stepping outside the Aesthetic  Its ok to have aesthetic goals Aesthetics Vs Performance Functional Movement Technique Owning the Movement Cardio vs Strength What we see on insta vs real life Realistic training for Mums, exercise intolerant and busy women.

When I started working with my coach 11 years ago I realised the real problem was women hadn't built a strong foundation. By working through the "Foundation of training needs for women" [which is like a hierarchy] we slowly build a foundation in which we can then achieve the results we want AND live into our vision.  No go Warrior, build your foundation!

These days, there is more and more evidence to suggest that strength training is beneficial for women of all ages. For a lot of women, that has meant going to the gym and training in exactly the same way a man does.  But what if the variable and changing hormone levels in a woman's body affect performance in ways we have not fully accounted for? What if strength training could look, and maybe feel different in a woman's body?In this episode, we're talking to Warrior School founder, Amy Bowe, who believes that women can achieve better performance, and more sustainable results by aligning our strength training according to the phases of their menstrual cycles. Join us as we discuss the menstrual cycle, hormones, stress, nutrition and the myriad ways all these things can affect our strength training and athleticism. We're even exploring an unexpected  feminist twist! Maybe aligning our training with our menstrual cycles can lead to new confidence and better results and a "coming home" to our own bodies.   About Amy Bowe: Amy Bowe offers 12 years of experience in coaching, nutrition, hormonal health and training.
