FHP 547 – Cardio For Fat Loss? Yay or Nay?

FHP 547 – Cardio For Fat Loss? Yay or Nay?

I talk a lot about strength work for body recomp and fat loss.

Because muscle is metabolic magic. It truly stokes our metabolic fire.

More muscle means more calories burned at rest, which means better fat loss results. And us looking leaner as we do lose.

BUT….

Cardio has its place.

And many even enjoy it…even though I think you’re weird.

That’s why I want to talk about how cardio can help you achieve amazing body recomposition and talk about other key components to see better fat loss results!

FHP 546 – The No Excuses Way To Results

FHP 546 – The No Excuses Way To Results

There are always a bazillion and one valid reasons NOT to make a change…not to do something. No time is ever the right time. Because often our excuses stem from our priorities and what we value and have always done. But there is also always a way to make a change and meet ourselves where we are at to move forward. We just have to choose to see the OPPORTUNITIES there.

FHP 545 – Menopause – “The Big Change”

Life is about constant exploration. About constant growth.

About constantly challenging ourselves to learn and improve.

We should always be setting goals – whether they are performance, lifestyle, monetary, aesthetic…

And we should always be CHANGING to reach them.

Our identity is more fluid than we realize and at some point, we almost start fearing changes to it over seeking to explore it.

And when we do, our lifestyle also stops evolving, which can keep us stuck repeating the same habits that aren’t moving us forward – even fearing change.

That’s why I want to talk about some shifts to both your nutrition and workouts you may need to make as you get older especially as you go through a time actually called THE CHANGE aka Menopause!

Lead RS Dietitian Michelle will also share some helpful macro ratio adjustments that can help you feel your best and keep your body stronger till your final day on this planet!

FHP 543 – THIS Is Killing Your Metabolism…

Muscle stokes our metabolic fire.

Often if we just focused on building muscle, we would ultimately be leaner and see fat loss results faster.

Yet so often our previous dieting practices have already sabotaged our metabolic health.

The good thing is our metabolism isn’t just broken.

BUT often there are a couple of key things we’ve done to kill our metabolism in the first place…

Things we have to reverse that I’m going to go over here.

And I’m excited to have on RS Coach Rachel to discuss how to eat more to lose fat as well as some of the mindset struggles we may have.

But first I want to really outline the dieting pattern that leads to metabolic adaptations and what we need to do to make a change now….

FHP 542 – STOP The Extreme Diets And Workouts To Lose Weight

Stop the extremes. Stop the restriction. Stop pushing yourself to the point you want to give up constantly.

Instead embrace finding your balance and realize why some changes are more of a struggle.

Start to listen to what your body and mind are telling you and what is realistic for your lifestyle!

In this episode of the Fitness Hacks Podcast, Michelle is going to go over how you can start to learn to eat more intuitively while focusing on a specific goal and I’ll share both more nutrition and workout tips to help you meet yourself where you are at to move forward.

But first…I want to talk about something many of us have thought….

“Why is it so much harder to change your diet than to workout more?!”

FHP 541 – Define How You Age

FHP 541 – Define How You Age

You can’t stop getting older.

But you can DEFINE HOW YOU AGE.

Our body will change. Our needs and goals will evolve.

But getting older doesn’t have to mean decline.

We can lead our healthiest, happiest lives at any and every age as long as we embrace evolution to meet ourselves where we are at.

And often the fact that we just ACCEPT certain things happening is what truly makes us get older faster.

That’s why in this episode I want to go over key mindset, workout and nutrition tips, thanks Michelle, to help you feel your most fabulous at any and every age!

And a delicious dessert recipe…because who doesn’t want to improve their health, feel younger AND get that sweet treat!?
