Your body was built for this and we don't talk about it enough

Mar 9 (edited) • General 💬

It's International Women's Day and I just want to take a moment to talk about how genuinely amazing the female body is, because I don't think we hear this enough.

Did you know that women actually have stronger muscle endurance than men? Research shows we can sustain exercise up to 75% longer. Estrogen makes our muscles more resistant to fatigue, which means we are literally wired for endurance.

Our immune systems are also stronger. Estrogen helps our bodies fight infection more effectively, so resilience is not just a mindset or a personality trait we have to work for. It is built into our biology.

And yet we spend so much time thinking something is wrong with us. Too tired, not doing enough, wondering why we can't just get it together.

Here's the thing. Your body's NOT failing you. It's carrying you every single day, and it was built to endure, to adapt, and to keep going. The least we can do is start treating it that way and giving it what it actually needs. 🫶🏼

Now I want to hear from you! Drop the name of a woman in your life who inspires you in the comments.

A mom, a friend, a sister, a mentor. Someone who just keeps showing up no matter what. Let's celebrate them today. I'll go first in the comments 💪🏽❤️
