Turns out, swapping my usual cardio for a month of strength training totally changed my body and my brain. I started with just bodyweight (hello, cans of beans as dumbbells), but by week two, I could finally do a real push-up! The best part? I had way more energy, better posture, and actual muscle definition peeking through. The mental boost was real, too. Will I quit cardio forever? Nah, but weights are now a non-negotiable. If you’re curious, start small—you might surprise yourself! #Fitness #StrengthTraining #FitnessJourney
