Got all the way to the end and you had to ask about my hips?! Oh no. They are...not good. And I know getting back to weight lifting is the answer, it is the one thing that has always improved my health. But, I am struggling. Very much about to ask you for all sorts of advice, so I hope you're ready.

Also, kind of long for a tattoo, but I'm considering it: "I’ve always loved to put things off, to quit, to lounge, and to dreamily stare into nothing more than I like doing just about anything."

you always inspired me with your routines, Kim. The thing i like about weight lifting is you have to start small and it pays off quickly. i believe in you! especially your hips!

I have also been way off and on with all of this stuff for the past 5 years, and I'm lucky enough to be ON IT once again. Avoided weights forever because I found them intimidating, but started truly lifting, just with dumbbells at home, for the first time over lockdown and was kind of blown away how much more transformative it was than simply trying to sweat away calories with cardio. I focus a lot less on losing weight and more on building strength and endurance now and it's... way way better! Feeling strong is fun!

Yes!! It does transform you so much, just slowly. I love hearing you’ve had a similar experience. I do cardio for my heart and to keep from being sedentary but nothing super stressful. Cardio without weight training deteriorates muscle too. Thanks for sharing Brady!

I have their book! Gonna read it soon. But I remember Johnson’s earlier articles about weight lifting for sure.
