    “Weightlifting/strength training will solve most of your problems. Back pain ✅ energy ✅ confidence ✅ safely move and lift stuff ✅ bonus for afab people especially- it’s good for our bone density! Lifting is scary at first! This guide, by a woman with women in mind (but for anyone), starts you off with no weights to learn the movements. Progress from light objects, dumbbells, to eventually a barbell.”

    “Designed as a “couch to barbell” program, Casey’s liftoff is the PERFECT place to start lifting if you have zero experience. It’s a 12 week program that can get you doing the main barbell lifts. And you can run it well past the 12 weeks and keep getting stronger and stronger.”
