@tahlia_kazim: POV: You stopped trying to be smaller… and started becoming stronger. 🤍 For decades, women have been told that exercise is about one thing: losing weight. But research shows strength training gives us so much more than a smaller body. It helps: • Build and preserve lean muscle mass. • Slow the 3-8% loss of muscle mass that can begin after age 30. • Increase bone density and help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. • Improve metabolic health and support healthy ageing. And yes… it might change how your body looks. But the biggest transformation isn’t what you see. It’s what you gain. The scales will never measure: • Your first pull-up. • The weight you never thought you’d lift. • The confidence that comes from trusting your body. • Discovering just how capable you really are. • Having the strength and energy to keep up with your kids. • Feeling stronger in your body instead of held back by it That’s the kind of progress worth celebrating. As a physiotherapist, I want women to stop chasing smaller and start building stronger, because strength is one of the greatest investments you can make in your future health Because your body deserves so much more than becoming smaller. It deserves the chance to become stronger, so you can live more, do more, and never let your body hold you back. 🤍
