Redefining Strength Podcast
You train hard. You try to eat well. You stay disciplined. And yet progress slows. Energy drops. Fat loss stalls.
The Redefining Strength Podcast is for women who work hard on their health… but still feel like their body isn’t responding the way it used to.
Hosted by Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, this show helps you understand what’s actually happening inside your body — and what to do about it.
Cori is the creator of the STRONG System, used by over 10,000 women around the world to transform their bodies and build results that last.
Through real coaching insights and conversations with leading experts in women’s health, metabolism, and behavior change...each episode breaks down the science in a way that actually applies to real life.
Because the answer isn’t working harder. It’s learning how to work smarter so your effort finally creates the strength, energy, and confidence you’ve been chasing.
If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building a body you can count on, this podcast will help you get there.

FHP 449 - It Never Gets Easier
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Talking to client - she’s like…
“It didn’t get easier this week! You lied!”
And I said back, "Did you use a harder variation? Did you finish the workout faster?"
She said...“Yes.”
"Then it DID get easier."
With training, you will ALWAYS feel challenged, because you’ll always be reaching for that next thing.
But you’ll see the progression in how far you can run and how fast you do it…or the weights you can lift for more reps…
But no…it never FEELS easier.
We are just stronger, fitter, faster, more confident…
I don’t share this to be negative but I think this delusion that things will at some point be “easy” holds us back…because it makes us ignore how much more we can do…
Whether in the gym or other areas of our life.
And even habits that do become fully ingrained…well we don’t always want to do them!
This isn’t a bad thing either.
It’s just a fact.
It’s why you…
#1: Always want to track progress to truly see progression and not let "feelings" derail you!
#2: Focus on tracking all the different ways you’re growing!
#3: Recognize that feeling MENTALLY tired can be a reason to take a diet break, switch ratios or even use a de-load week. Just because we CAN push through doesn’t always mean we should.
#4: Sometimes embrace doing the minimum to stay consistent.
Realize that strength doesn’t come from NOT doing hard things…it is built going through the hard.
And pushing those limits never feels easier, but you are able to handle more!
