In this episode we're going over a listener suggested topic, to better understand Deload week. Lifting with enough intensity is crucial to get stronger, but if we're not giving our body enough rest & opportunities to recover (like implementing a Deload week), our body will struggle to get stronger, and the risk of injury increases.

In the last episode, we talked about HOW to measure progress, in this episode we're talking about what AFFECTS that progress. Spoiler alert - there's a lot of things that affect the scale that rarely require intervention & just something to observe. 

We're also discussing how practicing a few foundational habits can help reduce overall stress (that affects the scale) + helps improve your overall health from a foundational level (instead of focusing on specifics like cortisol or blood sugar spikes), because when we focus on the basics, we don't have to focus as much on the specifics. 

I want to hear from you!

Did you know you can lose fat without losing weight? Did you know it's not normal to deal with soreness after every workout or dealing with gas/bloating?

That's why today we're talking about how to measure progress, because if we're only using the scale to tell us how we're doing, we’re definitely missing out on recognizing progress in other progress markers such as losing inches & having our clothes fit differently.

We also don’t want to sacrifice our overall health to reach our physical goals, and learning how to monitor your biofeedback, in addition to physical progress, can help you better gauge how we’re doing and see the big picture.

Today we're talking about how recognizing how important our intentions behind our actions really is, in helping us "show up" in our journey. Our mindset is one of the biggest factors in either helping or hindering our ability to find ways to move forward and see the changes we want to see.

We're talking about all things EXERCISE - breaking down the basics, and helping cut through a lot of the confusion out there as it relates to what the best type of exercise is for your goals and how there's so many more benefits to being active than just to reach physical goals. 

I want to hear from YOU! Do you have a question on something I covered? Do you want to discuss the best type of exercise for YOUR goals? What are some trends we see out there and how can I help cut through the noise?

Today we're talking about all things motivation, discipline & consistency and how much of our ability to "show up" for ourselves has more to do with recognizing it's not always easy to show up, and how sometimes giving ourselves permission to "show up" differently each day depending on the challenges & opportunities that each day brings, instead of holding ourselves to the same standard each day, helps shift our focus to what we CAN do each day to keep momentum building. 

Do you struggle staying motivated, disciplined or consistent in your journey? I want to hear from you!
