This is the ideal episode for any active woman looking to kickstart a strength-training routine. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Britany Williams (a fitness professional!), four women runners share how they strength train in home set-ups, telling:

-their progressions from light weights to heavy ones;
-how they determine their strength-training routines;
-how one couldn’t wait to swap marathon training for lifting;
-what motivates them (including sword-play prep!); and,
-about finding equipment bargains (including dumpster diving!).

Before the first guest joins at 9:07, trainer Britany gives a quick strength-training primer.
