Ep. 159 Not Toning Up? Why Your Workouts Aren't Working For You


Listen Later

If you feel like you're doing everything right in the gym and still not seeing the results you want, you probably fall into one of two categories...

 

The first category is you are training too much with the wrong volume and intensity. We see this a lot with women taking several group classes a week along with their regular training and they aren't giving their body time to recover and heal. 

 

Muscle is initially broken down in the gym and built back up through nutrition, sleep, and recovery but many women get this concept backwards. 

 

The other category is not training enough and therefore, can't create a proper stimulus to see lean muscle and definition. It may feel like you are training and putting in a sweat but you potentially have many reps in reserve during your lifts, too long of rest periods in between sets, and/or you are not getting enough training volume to certain muscle groups per week to see progress.

 

In this episode, we want to break down these two categories in depth, explain why sticking to a plan for at least 3 months will be the best decision you can make for yourself, and share our FREE 3 day a week training program with you!
