Ever wondered about the evolution of women's strength and fitness? Buckle up as we embark on a fascinating journey with our guest, Hailey Shatley, an award-winning journalist and fitness enthusiast. This episode is a tasteful blend of history, fitness tips, and personal anecdotes from Hailey’s book 'Strong Like Her'.
As we venture into the early days of women's fitness, we highlight the inspiring story of Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman and her attempts to cross the English Channel. We examine the metamorphic effects of the safety bicycle in the 1890s, which made physical fitness accessible and liberated women in more ways than one. From the importance of strength training for women over 40 to the significance of muscle mass in maintaining a healthy metabolism, we tackle it all.
Our conversation with Hailey isn't all weights and workout routines. We also learn about her personal values, her love for roller coasters, and her top three suggestions for a healthier and happier life. By the end of our chat, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and motivation to unlock your inner strength and power. So tune in, and let's hit the ground running together!
