Head to fitbycoachkel.com for 7 days of highly effective feminine strength training 💪🏼
Somewhere along the way, “strength training” became synonymous with “lifting heavy.” And those are not the same thing.
A 30-lb lateral raise is strength training.
A 3-lb lateral raise taken through enough reps, time under tension, or fatigue is also strength training.
The exercise didn’t suddenly become strength training when the dumbbell got heavier.
Barre and Pilates can absolutely challenge your muscles, build strength, and create adaptation—just through different loading strategies than traditional heavy lifting.
And personally? I think there’s room for all of it. Heavy dumbbells. Light dumbbells. Bodyweight. Barre. Pilates. Strength.
Your muscles don’t care what category Instagram put your workout in.
