This episode is the second part of a conversation with real women about how they strength training—this time it’s a quartet of gals who hit the gym. With hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin (a 7-year veteran of a strength class), four women runners share how they strength train in at the gym with a friend or in a group setting, including: -how to start strength training (finally!); -how building strength has shifted several women’s self-perception; -the joys of heavy lifting and super-setting; -the power of strength training in a group setting; and,-the shared burning desire to do a pull-up!  Co-host Amanda shares how she got over her reluctance to lifting before the first gym-goer joins at around 9:05.
