Women's Strength Academy Helping NYC women train the right way through strength, hormones, and education. April 11 Workshop in Flatiron, Manhattan

Most women are not bad at planks — they just haven’t been shown how to create tension the right way.

In this clip from our April 11 workshop, we break it down step by step 👇

Start on all 4s
Rotate your elbows back (use your hands to feel that position first)
Keep your elbows soft — don’t lock your joints
Then extend your legs into a plank
Hold a neutral spine the entire time

This isn’t about holding longer.
It’s about creating the right structure so your core actually works.

Save this for your next core session.

Most women are not bad at split squats — they just haven’t been shown a simple setup.

This is one of the easiest ways to set up your split squat using a bench 👇

Step 1: Sit on the edge of the bench
Step 2: Extend your legs — where your heels land is your starting point
Step 3: Stand up with feet hip-width apart (not on a tight line)
Step 4: Bring one leg back and place your foot on the bench
Step 5: Slight hinge forward, then drive straight down and up

A good setup makes this exercise feel stable, controlled, and actually target your glutes instead of your knees or lower back.

Train smarter, not harder — especially if you want results that last.

Save this for your next leg day, and follow for more form fixes and strength basics.

Going live today at 5PM 👇

Every Sunday I go live for subscribers.

Today I’ll be breaking down how to structure your own glute workout in 20–30 minutes — so you’re not just guessing, but actually targeting all the glute muscles effectively.

We’re now at 21 subscribers. I appreciate every single one of you who joined.

Here’s the direction I’m building toward:

Once this reaches around 100 subscribers, I’ll start treating this as a dedicated space — with regular live workouts, deeper breakdowns, and more hands-on coaching inside the group.

Right now, I’m still balancing this with my in-person work, but the more this grows, the more time and energy I can justify putting into this community.

If you’ve been getting value from the page and want more structured guidance and direct access, you can join for $2.99/month (literally less than a coffee in NYC).

Would love to see you inside.

I’ll be live today at 5PM.

Most women are not bad at lunges.
They were just never taught how to set them up.

From my April 11 workshop — here’s the exact setup we used:

Step 1: Start with feet hip-width apart (not tightrope).
Step 2: Imagine two railroad tracks in front of you.
Step 3: Slide your right foot forward along your track.
Step 4: Slight hinge back, then bend both knees.
Step 5: Tap the back knee lightly to the floor.
Step 6: Push through the front heel to come back.

This setup gives you balance, control, and way better glute engagement.

Next workshop: May 16 (Manhattan)

We’ll cover:

• The 5 foundational movement patterns
• Nutrition fundamentals for strength + hormones
• Stress & emotional regulation
• How to train around your cycle (including perimenopause, menopause & post menopause)

If you’re in NYC and want to actually understand your body —

Most women don’t need more glute exercises…
they need a better structure.

You can do hip thrusts, bridges, kickbacks — all of it,
but if your workout isn’t set up correctly, your results will feel random.

This Sunday at 5 PM (EST), I’m going live (for subscribers only) and breaking down:
How to structure your own glute workout like a personal trainer would.

– What to start with (and why it matters)
– How to order exercises for real glute engagement
– Why “feeling it” isn’t the same as building it
– How to make simple exercises work way harder

This is the part most people never learn —
not exercises… but how to actually build a workout that works.

If you want access to deeper breakdowns like this + the ability to send me your form for review,

I just posted a full behind-the-scenes breakdown from my April 11 workshop — for subscribers only.

It’s about something most women completely overlook:
how your nervous system state affects your training, recovery, and results and what tools can we use to self regulate.

This is the kind of content I don’t usually post publicly.

If you want deeper breakdowns, real workshop clips, and more context behind what I teach — you can subscribe and watch it there.

I’ll be sharing more of these.

Most women don’t feel their glutes on Step-Ups—not because they’re weak, but because of how they’re doing them.

Both versions are correct.

If you stay more upright, you’ll feel it more in your quads.
If you add a slight forward lean, you’ll shift more of the work into your glutes.

👉 Small adjustment, completely different muscle emphasis.

In this video, the upright version comes first, then the adjusted version.

You don’t need to do less—you just need to understand what you’re training.

Save this for your next lower body day and test the difference.

Most women are not bad at squats…
they’ve just been taught a version that doesn’t fit their body.

If your hips feel tight…
if your knees feel stuck…
if depth never feels natural…

Try this setup instead.

This is what I personally use because my hips were never built for narrow, toes-forward squats.

And I see the same thing with my clients every day.

More space.
More control.
Less forcing.

Save it and test it.

I just posted a full breakdown of how to breathe correctly during squats — from my April 11 workshop.

It’s inside the subscriber section.

This is the exact way I teach it in person — including how to match your breathing to the actual hardest part of the movement.

I’ve been sharing behind-the-scenes from my workshops there, along with weekly Lives where we go deeper into form, nutrition, hormones, and recovery.

If you want access to the deeper breakdowns — subscribe and join.

I’d be happy to have you there. As that group grows (aiming for 100), I’ll also start adding live workshops and short workouts inside.

Most women are not bad at lateral lunges… they just haven’t been shown how to set it up.

Start with your feet together and build the stance step by step:

Step 1: Open your toes (wide)
Step 2: Open your heels (wide)
Step 3: Open your toes again (go wider)
Step 4: Align your heels slightly behind your toes
Step 5: Small hinge back
Step 6: Bend the knee → then extend

That setup alone will change how this feels in your hips, glutes, and knees.

Save this for your next lower body workout and try 5–10 controlled reps each side.

Most women are not bad at lower body exercises.
They just haven’t been shown how to build the right stance.

Instead of guessing your foot position for every movement…
start from one simple setup and adjust from there.

Feet together →
toes out →
heels follow → this is your base (RDL stance)

From here, you can build everything:

– Slightly wider → squat
– Toes + heels out more → wide squat
– Toes very wide → sumo
– Heels behind toes → lateral lunge

Same foundation. Different adjustments.

This is how you stop overthinking your setup
and start moving with control.

Save this for your next lower body workout.
