About this episode
Jaymee Joosten discusses the essential foundations of strength training for women, covering key concepts and practical advice for effective workouts.
In this solo episode, I am talking through basically everything you need to know about strength training — whether you’re just getting started, have been training for a while, or want to make sure you’re not wasting time in the gym. I’m walking you through the foundations that actually matter so you can train with intention, confidence and results. Think of this as your strength training bible. I cover: → Why muscle is like medicine — and the powerful benefits of strength training for women → How to find your optimal training split and weekly frequency for results → The key movement patterns every woman should include → How to structure warm-ups for better performance and fewer injuries → The role of technique and progressive overload — plus my 6-week progression pathway and the Goldilocks Method for choosing the right weight → Rest times: why more rest doesn't mean you're unfit — it's just smart training → My 8 go-to recovery methods for better strength, energy, and results If you are interested in a female-specific strength training program that ticks all the boxes and is done for you, check out The Encompass Movement — our training program subscription designed to help women…
