95. SONIA HARE on the Science Behind Strength Training & How to Exercise Effectively

Welcome back! Today we are joined by Sonia Hare, certified fitness trainer and holistic nutritionist and founder of the Sonia Series. We discovered Sonia’s workouts a few months ago and have seen firsthand how impactful her program is. Having grown up a dancer with parents who both worked in the fitness industry, Sonia has truly spent a lifetime learning about fitness and nutrition and the science behind the workouts she teaches.

What we talk about with Sonia:

• The importance of weight training in your fitness routine


• Why our bodies need rest & what is happening during that downtime


• How weight training specifically helps you build LEAN muscle, and does NOT make you "bulky"


• The role nutrition plays in a healthy lifestyle


• Dating someone with different fitness levels/nutritional habits/etc.


• How often you "should" be working out


• Why fitness is not one size fits all


• How to choose the right size weights for your workouts


• How to start to develop a workout routine


• Why you sometimes feel sore after a workout and sometimes don't


• Sonia's other favorite ways to relieve stress & stay balanced
