After hearing my co-workers rave about strength training (and even reporting on the benefits myself), I have finally hopped on the weightlifting bandwagon. I'm still a Pilates girl through and through (don't come for me), but I've recently committed to strength training two times a week.
And honestly, I feel great!I'm increasing my weight from week to week, and I feel strong! It gives me a unique sense of accomplishment when I can really feel my body tone up.
The only downside is the vast amount of tools and workout plans out there to choose from. It's easy to become intimidated by all those decisions (I'm sure I'm not alone here), but luckily, functional medicine doctor Gabrielle Lyon, D.O., recently shed light on her favorite piece of at-home gym equipment.
"I will do some kind of kettlebell activity," she shares on the mindbodygreen podcast. Discover why she recommends this type of weight below.
