We’re on a mission to promote exercise not as a means for weight loss, but as a tool for self-care. On this show, we talk about physical activity beyond the usual gym workouts to revolutionize what exercise means and transform your self care.This podcast was created specifically for marginalized communities because not all fitness spaces were created for us so We focus on experiences from black indigenous people of color, LGBTQ folks, and folks with disabilities. With this focus, we aim to make exercise more accessible, so that it’s positive effects will reverberate throughout our communities.

How to Explore Past the Treadmill and Start Weightlifting with Jackie Lemus

My guest for this episode is my friend Jackie Lemus. At the end of college, she started feeling like she was feeling really uncomfortable in her skin and realized that a change needed to be made from her sedentary student obligations. So that's why she started, like a lot of us, using cardio machines at our local gyms.

Her exercise story started off with "How do I lose weight?" And it transformed into a question of "How do I get stronger? How do I increase my confidence and how do I continue to feel more powerful than I did yesterday?"

To learn how she transitioned from the cardio machines to the weight room of the gym, check out Jackie's story!
