In this episode of Training Age, co-hosts Heather Adams (@heatheradams.fitness) and Valerie Lusvardi (@valerielusvardi) reflect on the intersections of parenting, personal growth, and strength training. They share recent experiences that highlight the importance of advocating for family needs, supporting one another through life’s responsibilities, and modeling healthy boundaries. It’s a candid look at how the values we bring to our workouts often show up in how we show up at home.
The conversation then shifts to the concept of training intensity—what it is, how to measure it, and why it matters. Using personal anecdotes from the gym, including sessions with Ellis, Heather and Val break down how discomfort, tempo, and muscle fatigue all play a role in effective training. They emphasize how tuning into your body and managing intensity with intention can lead to better performance and fewer injuries.
Wrapping up, the episode highlights stories of client transformation through hypertrophy training and strategic nutrition. These stories underscore the long-term value of consistency, balance, and a sustainable approach to fitness. Whether you’re a parent, a beginner in the gym, or someone looking to refine your training, this episode offers thoughtful insights and practical encouragement for building a strong, healthy life.
