If strength training keeps slipping through the cracks of your schedule, even though you know it matters and you want to be consistent, this episode is for you.

Most people are taught to organize strength training around workouts. And when workouts become the thing that matters most, missed sessions quickly turn into frustration, guilt, and the feeling that you’re failing at something you care about.

In this episode, I introduce a different way to think about strength training. Instead of organizing your training around workouts, schedules, or session length, we’re going to organize it around sets. This shift makes strength training more flexible and much easier to stick with over time, especially when your schedule changes frequently and life gets busy and unpredictable.
