One thing about Sara: she doesn’t spend a ton of time on social media (and also, she ran a marathon once). But even she couldn't resist the allure of a certain fitness influencer's 'Myths vs. Reality' post. Cue Caleigh's confusion. Where's the meticulously curated grid? The trending tunes?

We're middle-aged moms; of course we're spending hours lifting in the gym only to dress like Adam Sandler in our everyday lives. And we know we're not the only ones, so we want to talk about it.
