I love strength training. It’s grounding, empowering, and I know it’s making me the strongest version of myself both inside and out. Now that it’s so ingrained in my routine, I can’t imagine not lifting weights regularly. But last year, I found myself wondering if perhaps I’d swung too far in one direction. Was I getting enough cardio in my weekly workouts? Despite my healthy, active lifestyle, would my heart health benefit from more?

I remember feeling super sluggish when I was leaning vegetarian and didn’t eat a ton of meat. My B vitamins were always a little low, and like a lot of health-conscious women, I had to be really thoughtful about getting the right amount of protein (I still do, and now I feel stronger than ever!).
