In this episode of 'Fit to Teach,' Kyle Pfaffenbach and Leap intern Nathan Marshall explore the health benefits of resistance training, particularly using lower weights. They discuss a 2023 research paper by Jonathan Weakley which demonstrates that low load resistance exercises can still promote muscle hypertrophy and strength.

The hosts emphasize the importance of resistance training for bone density, muscle mass, and overall functional health, and they provide practical tips for overcoming mental barriers to start a sustainable exercise regimen.
