We’ve all grown up thinking that the key to weightloss is to consume less calories and burn more calories so that you create a caloric deficit.

But studies have shown that for many women, this leads to years of eating TOO FEW calories, causing your body’s metabolism to slow so significantly that losing weight is almost impossible.

Hear how Allison Sizemore changed her life by walking away from traditional dieting and intense cardio workouts and started focusing on establishing a healthy metabolism (that for many women actually means eating MORE calories) and less intense (but more intentional) movement and muscle health.

Because of the number of people flooding the home exericise market there have been a lot of changes in programs, products and services that serve this audience. Here are some of the latest headlines curated for this unique group of exercisers.

This is a genuine review of exactly what you need to know about Boss Bands and Boss Loops by Cathe Friedrich BEFORE you run out and buy it. It’s low impact and it’s fun.

BUT, if you’re like me you noticed that those bands she’s using in the video clips of this program aren’t your regular ‘ol exercise loops and bands. So, my biggest questions (and possibly yours) was this: do you have to buy those loops and bands to do these routines? I’ll answer that (and more!) in this episode.
