I left the studio beaming with self-acceptance that was foreign to me. When I got home, I wanted more people to know about the power of strength training, so I turned to LinkedIn and encouraged other women in my network to flip the word "jacked" on its head.

The article from Today.com discusses the rising popularity of strength training among women, driven by a shift in fitness culture towards embracing strength and muscle building rather than just cardio and weight loss. It highlights how social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have played a significant role in this trend by showcasing women who lift weights, thereby normalizing and promoting the idea that strength training is for everyone.

The article features insights from fitness experts and women who have embraced this form of exercise, emphasizing the community and support found in this growing movement.
