If you've ever judged a workout by how wrecked you felt the next
day, this episode is going to reframe everything. Dani Coleman,
VP of Training and Head Trainer at Pvolve and Jennifer Aniston's
personal trainer since 2021, feels less like a podcast guest and
more like a sister from another mister.
Dani covers the cardio myth that kept a generation of women on
the elliptical for hours, why "toned" is basically a safe word
for building muscle, how Jennifer Aniston's approach to training
has evolved through menopause, why recovery is a non-negotiable
(not a reward), the overlooked third pillar of movement nobody
talks about, why cortisol isn't the villain, and what "one to
three reps shy of failure" actually feels like in your body.
