95. SONIA HARE on the Science Behind Strength Training & How to Exercise Effectively
Episode description
Welcome back! Today we are joined by Sonia Hare, certified fitness trainer and holistic nutritionist and founder of the Sonia Series. We discovered Sonia’s workouts a few months ago and have seen firsthand how impactful her program is. Having grown up a dancer with parents who both worked in the fitness industry, Sonia has truly spent a lifetime learning about fitness and nutrition and the science behind the workouts she teaches.
What we talk about with Sonia:
- The importance of weight training in your fitness routine
- Why our bodies need rest & what is happening during that downtime
- How weight training specifically helps you build LEAN muscle, and does NOT make you "bulky"
- The role nutrition plays in a healthy lifestyle
- Dating someone with different fitness levels/nutritional habits/etc.
- How often you "should" be working out
- Why fitness is not one size fits all
- How to choose the right size weights for your workouts
- How to start to develop a workout routine
- Why you sometimes feel sore after a workout and sometimes don't
- Sonia's other favorite ways to relieve stress & stay balanced
