Today’s episode is covering kind of an ‘unsexy’ topic, but it’s something that is crucial for anyone on a fitness journey. When it comes to the workouts that you’re doing, your specific fitness training MATTERS. I have ladies come to me all of the time, sharing that they feel like they’re working out and doing everything they ‘should’ be doing, but they don’t see (or feel) the results they’re desiring from their workouts. While you can do workouts that you love (i.e. fitness classes, running, etc.), you can’t *only* do workouts that you love. Yes, moving your body regularly is a wonderful thing and you should be doing that! But..you WILL need to incorporate weight training if building muscle and changing the way your body looks is a goal.

This will feel uncomfortable along the way - I’ve been there too, but nothing worth having is going to feel super easy when you’re starting out! I can’t stress how important it is to be training with purpose (like utilizing progressive overload). When you’re both specific and consistent with your workouts, not only will you change the way your body looks, you’ll also achieve strength, longevity, and overall improved health.

So yes..the way you train f*cking matters! If you’re frustrated with what you’re doing and you’re not getting the results you crave, it’s time to get support from an expert. I would love to help you figure out a better way to reach your long-term fitness goals, and ultimately, build a body you love!!

In today’s episode, we cover:

• Understanding that you can do workouts you love, but not JUST workouts you love + why training to build muscle is not the same as simply ‘working out’
• Why you should have some kind of physique goal(s) as you age and are actively working to add muscle to your body
• How training to build muscle and lose fat (aka body recomposition) will be different than training simply to lose weight
• Focusing on progressive overload with your workouts + how this will look with your reps and rest
• Why you need to be both specific and consistent with your training, regardless of the workout plan you choose to follow
• Choosing movement that you love and will also support you in building strength and long-term health
