Strength training strategies to get you started:

Think BEYOND just losing weight! Visualize the bigger picture of your health & longevity; Strength training is vital for gaining & maintaining your muscles and bones as you age; It’ll help you become more mobile, better proportioned, and will leave you feeling more energized & more confident as an added bonus!

If you’re ready to stop putting off this area fitness, here are some simple pointers to help you begin:

🔹 When you’re new to lifting, keep it SIMPLE. Work your body on a weekly basis to start building strength, proper form, and confidence with your lifts before moving into a more complex training phase.

🔹Have a strength training PLAN & know what that weekly routine looks like.

Whether you start with 2-3 total body, workouts, an upper/lower body split, or a more specific muscle split, understand your weekly goal; Decide how many X’s per week you’ll commit to training rather than going about it aimlessly.

🔹 SCHEDULE your workouts instead of trying to “fit them in”.

The follow-through is the biggest issue for many new lifters, so check your excuses at the door! Stop trying to find reasons to put it off, and create a mindset if “ let’s get this done” instead.

🔹Build FLEXIBILITY into your plan.

Whether you choose working out 2, 3, or 4 X’s per week, you’ll have rest day sprinkled in - that gives you timing options to plan workouts that fit into your schedule, your muscle split, And your busy lifestyle.

🔹 Prioritize your lifting Over cardio.

Heart health IS important, but cardio won’t provide enough overload to maintain & grow muscle. You’ll get better overall results by building muscle rather than putting your energy into calorie burn.

🔹 Stop thinking SMALL when it comes to weights.

Those 3, 5, & 8 lb dumbbells are NOT gonna cut it, ladies! your muscles and bones need challenging, overload to grow & stay strong.

🔹Let go of the “all or nothing” mindset.

Don’t avoid the workout because you don’t have time to do a “PERFECTLY”. 20 minutes of lifting on a busy day is better than missing an entirely.

Time to take this list and put it into action a lmk how it goes!!!💪🥰🫶💕

Putting it all together✨😌

When your goal is fat loss/weight loss, NUTRITION needs to be the main driver.

Because of that, I talk a Lot about how to get in a calorie deficit with an emphasis on using protein & fiber for fat loss.

But it’s important to note that consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables Within that calorie deficit range, (while STILL hitting your protein & fiber goal), is Also an important component of a quality fat loss plan.

Eating fruits & veggies on a regular basis gives you more bang for your buck!

Whole Foods, in the form of fruits and veggies, have many nutritional benefits, and eating them more often will help you stay satisfied And help you avoid OVER-consuming foods that may slow down progress towards your goals.🤩

So let me ask you…how are you doing with your daily fruit & veggie intake???

A lot of people Think they’re solid in this area, but if you’ve been in a fat loss phase for awhile and aren’t seeing the progress you’re hoping for, I challenge you to start noticing more details Behind your daily data…

Tracking food will help you ensure that you’re actually IN a proper deficit range, and will also give you an accurate picture of how many of the foods you consume are fruits & veggies.

If food tracking’s not something you’re willing to do right now, you could just count up your daily number of fruit & veggie servings for this entire week to help you to see the bigger picture of where you’re landing, regularly, on your “whole food consumption”.

Is it one per day? Two a day? Three or more day?

Are you having a healthy mix of fruits AND veggies or is it JUST fruit or JUST veggies that you typically consume??

Getting curious enough & taking note of not just your food Quantity, but Also your food QUALITY, is a winning combination! Doing this may be just the breakthrough you need to solve your current fat loss frustrations.

Give that a try this week & lmk how it goes!🫶😊💕
