Episode 472: Zarina Del Mar: Why Your Body Weight is Better Than Heavy Weights (Movement Over Muscle)

What if everything you've been told about getting stronger is backwards? Former lawyer turned movement expert Zarina Del Mar joins me on the Habits and Hustle podcast to share how her journey from exercise addiction to mindful movement transformed not just her body, but her entire approach to fitness and wellbeing. We dive into why women are over-training their lower bodies while neglecting their upper bodies, the real science behind building a strong core (spoiler: it's not crunches), and why her 5-minute movement flows can be more challenging than hour-long gym sessions. Zarina also shares her research with subscribers from 55+ countries and reveals why breathing and pelvis mobility are the foundation of true core strength. Zarina Del Mar is a fitness personality who transitioned from practicing law to teaching body awareness and sustainable movement practices to women worldwide.
