The article discusses the transformative approach to physical fitness advocated by figures like Casey Johnston, who promotes strength training over traditional disordered eating habits and thin ideal workouts. Johnston addresses common myths about weight lifting, particularly among women, emphasizing that strength does not equate to bulkiness and that lifting can enhance body image and mental health. The conversation highlights the importance of finding fitness routines that foster empowerment rather than insecurity, showcasing how a shift in mindset can lead to healthier relationships with exercise and self-perception.
I thought that if I started lifting weights, it would make me bulky instantly, and I thought it was only for people who really needed to be strong.
Strength training can change our relationship with fitness, body image and even our own minds, offering empowerment through lifting.
