You want to feel strong—not just for the mirror, but for the real-life demands of motherhood, ministry, and the calling God has placed on your life. In this episode, Shaela walks you through the five essential strength exercises every Christian mom should include in her weekly routine to feel steady, confident, and strong for years to come. These aren't fancy or trendy—just foundational movements you’ll actually use (like bending, lifting, reaching, and stepping).

What You'll Learn:

• 
  Why strength training matters more than just appearance
  


• 
  The top 5 movements that support daily functional strength
  


• 
  How to prevent injury, improve posture, and age well
  


• 
  Faith-forward encouragement to train with purpose, not pressure
  


• 
  The mindset shift from shrinking to strengthening
  

These five key moves—Romanian deadlifts, overhead presses, hip thrusts, core carries, and step-ups—are the foundation of SD Fit Well's strength approach and are featured throughout the Stronger Collective app. With each one, Shaela shares practical real-life applications and form tips to help you feel equipped and energized in any season.
