Physically Strong, Mentally Tough: A Winning Attitude

Finley Amato Funsten on Instagram: "We love to blame aging and menopause for osteoporosis and muscle loss in women. But the damage usually starts way earlier. In adolescence. When girls are taught to shrink, restrict, skip meals, fear carbs, and avoid strength because “bulky.” Peak bone density and muscle mass are built in your teens and early 20s. Strong bones and muscle aren’t a midlife hobby. They’re built early. Feed girls. Let them lift. Stop glorifying smaller at the expense of stronger."
