If you’ve ever finished a workout, woken up the next day not sore, and immediately wondered, “Did that even count?” — this episode is going to be a game changer.

In Episode 175, we’re breaking down one of the biggest fitness myths Christian women are still believing:
You do NOT have to be sore to get results, build muscle, or make progress.

Inside this conversation, we talk about:

• Why “not being sore after a workout” is actually a GOOD sign

• What soreness really means (and what it doesn’t mean)

• Why soreness is NOT a measure of progress, strength, or fat loss

• The role of progressive overload in strength training for women

• How proper recovery, protein intake, creatine, hydration, and smart programming help you feel less sore and get better results

• Why repeating workouts on purpose helps you get toned and stronger faster

• How your body adapts, builds strength, and actually transforms

This episode is perfect for you if you’ve ever searched for:
“Why am I not sore after a workout?”
“Do I need to be sore to build muscle?”
“How to get toned as a Christian woman”
“Strength training for women over 30”
“How to get strong without burning out”

You’ll also hear the mindset shift that helps you trust the process instead of chasing soreness, sweat, or fatigue as proof your workout “worked.”

Because the goal isn’t annihilation… the goal is adaptation.
And adaptation is what changes your body.
