Chronic Lower back pain is a common issue we coaches hear from new clients at Ladies Who Lift. In fact, according to the CDC, lower back pain is the most common chronic pain issue in the US, with about 60-80% of adults experiencing it on a consistent basis. And while sometimes the lower back pain can be caused by improper form, loads, or bracing during heavy lifts, more often than not the issue will trace back to weak core musculature and weak glutes. Getting into a good lifting and strength training routine where you are consistently challenged to brace and stabilize your core using proper technique and breathing mechanics, as well as putting your glutes through a series of squat, hinge, lunge, and abduction based movements can help to resolve this issue.

How do you stay motivated? As a Ladies Who Lift COACH, IT IS A QUESTION I ASKED A LOT- from clients, friends, family, everyone! The truth is, I DON’T. No one is always motivated 7 days a week in their strength training routine.

At Ladies Who Lift, we are lucky enough to have two amazing nutrition coaches, Rae and Amy, who offer two different styles of nutrition coaching, included in one of our strength training programs- the Ambassador Program. In this blog, Coach Amy describes her approach to nutrition and who would benefit most from this style of nutrition coaching.
