I’ve been training for close to 8 years, with focused strength work over the last few. Over time, movement has become more than exercise for me, it’s become a way of staying grounded. It has building endurance, both physical and emotional, and taught me how to stay with discomfort without giving up on myself.
As a woman, and now in my late 30s, I’ve come to understand this clearly: muscle is not about appearance it’s about protection. It supports our bones, hormones, metabolism, and long-term independence. Strength is not the opposite of softness; it allows us to carry life with more ease.
Being an Ayurveda practitioner, I’m often asked why I lift weights or whether yoga alone should be enough. The truth is women NEED strength as much as we need flexibility, rest, nourishment, and emotional safety.
That said, health is never just exercise. It’s how we eat, how we sleep, how we think, the relationships we nurture, and the rhythm we live by.
Some days I lift.
Some days I move gently.
Some days I skip and that’s okay.
Movement shouldn’t feel forced or punishing. It should become part of life, like brushing your teeth natural and non-negotiable, yet kind.
For women especially, consistency matters more than intensity.
Health is built quietly in rhythm, return, and self-respect.
