What to do if you hate weight lifting but know you should do it

Whole-person Strength

What do you do if you hate weight lifting but know you need it to preserve muscle mass, metabolism, and bone strength, balance as you lose weight and age?

I used to hate weight lifting. Knowing I "should" do it, especially as I age, made that disdain even stronger! 

I changed to whole-person strength and now I love what these weights do for my brain, body, and heart. 

What is Whole-person Strength?

Whole person strength is an investment in energy that has a huge ROI!

✅ Brain: My thoughts no longer resist resistance training. Now it's a time for my brain to restore confidence in my body and to reconnect to what I value in my heart. Presence and doing this as an act of kindness is the key that changes everything. Rather than just lifting weights, you are rewiring wholeness.

✅ Body: No matter the state of my body, even when I have an injury or didn't sleep well, meeting my body where it is today and investing energy in keeping muscle memory for moving strongly promotes whole-person healing. This takes remembering that strength is not about how much you can lift, it's about the brain-body connection that tells your body how to move with less strain and more strength

✅ Heart: The intentional movements that mimic the movements I need and want to do in my daily life connect with what I value. These are not meaningless muscles; I'm moving them individually to make them stronger; my whole person is coordinating to do movements that represent what I care about most in life. That intentional movement reminds me of my strengths and values, so I move on centered and grounded.
