Strength training is essential for long-term health—but how you train matters just as much as what you do. If you’re not seeing the results you expect, you may be missing one key ingredient.
In this episode of Meet Your Body, Jessica breaks down the powerful fitness principle of progressive overload—and why it’s crucial for building strength, supporting bone health, and staying resilient as you age. She explains what progressive overload really means, how to apply it in a simple and sustainable way, and how to adapt it for beginners, injuries, or autoimmune conditions.
If you’re ready to make your workouts more effective, efficient, and empowering, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
