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 338 - Are Certain Exercises Bad?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you look at comments on different exercise posts, you can honestly start to believe that EVERY move is bad for you and super dangerous.
But I think too often we simply demonize moves over learning how to use them properly.
Don’t get me wrong, there is risk with every move we include. But honestly there is risk doing any movement in life.
And it really isn’t that moves themselves are bad…it’s that we don’t know how to implement them properly based on our needs and goals.
Not every move will be right for you.
And if you use it when YOU shouldn’t? It may not result in a great outcome.
However, too often we end up injured from a move we SHOULD be including simply because we don’t understand how to create proper recruitment patterns to control it.
We also just get stuck going through the motions or trying to mimic proper form.
We aren’t conscious of what we feel working or how to tweak form to match our needs and goals and builds.
So I wanted to share some tips so you stop avoiding moves and demonizing moves when you actually need to learn how to control them to better avoid injury in every day life!
