Wed Feb 04 2026
You’re training consistently. You’re following the workouts.
But your glutes aren’t growing. Your body isn’t changing.
And you’re wondering what you’re doing wrong.
In this episode, Kim answers a listener's question about why they’re not feeling the burn during follow-along workouts — and uses it as a launchpad to explain the real reason most women don’t see results from their training.
Inside this episode:
Why “not feeling it” often means your form is off
How to fix it and finally feel your glutes doing the work
Why light weights = slow results
What training to failure actually looks like
How your fear of sensation may be holding you back
The mindset shift needed to build a body like Kim’s
Why your body avoids pain — and how to override that safely
