✨Who’s out there living in a Bendy body, knowing that you are “supposed to“ work on getting stronger but you just don’t know where to start?

✨Or maybe you’ve tried strength training in the past and for whatever reason, it just seem to always cause more pain and you never made any progress?

✨Or maybe you’ve just heard me talking about my in-person strength training class for hypermobile folks called Bendy & Badass, and you’ve been wondering what that’s all about!

✨This class series is for you! (It’s actually for anyone— bendy or not!)

✨We will meet over six weeks and learn the basics of functional strength training using dumbbells.

✨You’ll have access to class recordings and a video library of exercises for a whole year!

✨You can start with whatever weight you choose! As always, I recommend starting low and progressing very slowly.

✨We will explore ways to work on our main strength categories: squatting, lifting, pushing, and pulling. We may even throw in some carrying.

✨Follow the link in my bio to register and DM me with any questions!

✨Who’s gonna join me?

Check out this week’s episode of zebra talks podcast with Dena Mellick .strength . Dena is a strength coach with plenty of experience with chronic illness.

On the podcast, she talks about the many benefits of strength training and why we should see it as a non negotiable.

She also talks about what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a strength coach if you’re someone living with a hypermobility syndrome.

Yep, we know the bendy body is different! But we also know that it’s adaptable. And it just needs a different approach.

If you are a bendy person looking to get into strength training, I hope you find some useful tidbits in here!

New podcast episode is out! This one is with Dr. Saperstein all about POTS, challenges with diagnosis, and treatment. Dr. Saperstein is a diamond in the haystack so to speak.
