Today Dr Sims sits down for a fun conversation with local fitness professional Abbey Atkins. They talk about everything from gymtimidation to motivation and mindset when it comes to organizing a fitness routine.
- Why more and more women are lifting weights after 40 (and why it matters)
- How to shift your focus from the number on the scale to how you feel
- The science-backed benefits of strength training for longevity, bone health, and metabolism
- Mindset traps that hold women back from starting — and how to overcome them
- What to do if you're intimidated by the gym (aka “gymtimidation”)
- The myriad of different approaches — working with a personal trainer, using an app (like Abbey’s), or even getting guidance from ChatGPT 😉
Whether you’re brand new to strength training or getting back into it after a break, this episode is packed with encouragement and real-world strategies to help you feel strong, confident, and capable — without obsessing over the scale.
