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.

Cardio vs Weights vs Pilates - Which One Is Best For Fat Loss?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If your goal is fat loss, should you be doing cardio, lifting weights, or Pilates?
The answer is not as simple as picking one and ditching the others.
In this video, I’m breaking down the real fat loss training hierarchy: what to prioritize first, why weight training is the foundation, where cardio actually fits, why walking is more powerful than most people realize, and how Pilates or activation work can make your strength training even more effective.
We’ll talk about why steady-state cardio often gets overused, why sprint intervals can support fat loss and muscle preservation, how walking helps with recovery and daily calorie burn, and why Pilates is not just “light toning” work.
Because the real question isn’t “cardio vs weights vs Pilates.”
It’s: are you using each one for the right job?
If you’ve been working hard but still feel stuck, this video will help you understand how to combine training methods in a way that supports fat loss, muscle building, recovery, and long-term results.
Watch next to learn how to set up your strength training so it actually builds muscle and changes your body composition.
