Drag Race, DOMS, & Major LGBT News 🌈 Outlifting Ep 15

We’re getting delusional this week and acting like we’re on the judging panel for the brand new season of Drag Race UK Vs The World. Join Alan and Derec for LGBTQ+ fitness tips, Drag Race reactions, and major LGBT news this past week. In this episode of The Outlifting Lounge, we discuss DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) to answer the ultimate beginner question: if you aren’t sore, are you still making progress?. We discuss why workout consistency and progressive overload are far more important indicators of success than being unable to walk the next day. Beyond the gym, we celebrate some massive LGBTQ+ positive news. From the Council of Europe’s resolution against conversion therapy to the High Court win for trans-inclusive spaces at Hampstead Heath, we’re breaking down the legal victories that matter to our community.
