DESCRIPTION

In this episode of the Fit40 Podcast, I break down exactly how to restart your fitness after vacation without falling into the destructive trap of extreme restrictions or crash diets. We discuss why you should avoid the scale for at least a week after you get back, how water weight and extra carbs mimic fat gain, and why simple anchor habits like a dedicated bounce back day, hitting your daily steps, and focusing on minimally processed foods will get you back on track effortlessly. Plus, we dive into a live community Q&A tackling the truth about the medical BMI chart and why popular workouts like Pilates and Zumba are great for movement but simply do not offer enough resistance to build true, long-term health. To dive deeper into these strategies, check out our full show notes and website for more resources.
