185. Moving Vs. Training: The Truth About Body Recomp and RPE


Listen Later

Let’s talk about a question I hear a lot: “Am I training hard enough?”


The answer? Probably not…especially if you’re not seeing the results you’re working for (i.e. if your goal is body recomp)!


This isn’t about being extreme or living in the gym, BUT…if you’re just moving your body without a plan and calling it “training,” you’re definitely selling yourself short!


Your body adapts to what you consistently do. If you want change, you’ve GOTTA challenge it (I love using RPE as a tool to do just that). No more winging it, sticking with the same 10 lb. dumbbells for several months, or walking out of your workout with energy to spare!


This episode is your no-BS wake-up call to stop going through the motions and start showing TF UP with purpose. If you’re stuck in a plateau, questioning your workouts, or wondering why you’re not seeing changes, it’s time to do something different!!


In this episode, we cover:

  • The REAL difference between moving your body & training with purpose
  • Signs that you’re not training hard enough
  • Using RPE (rate of perceived exertion) to check in & push your limits
  • How you can progress your weightlifting over time
