When we think of a program for fat loss, a lot of people think it automatically means doing a lot of cardio but that’s not how we roll here. In the end of summer lock in challenge happening in our sister group we focus on good quality strength training to get after a smaller waist. We don’t want to burn ourselves out with cardio, we want to build lean muscle. Here is what strength training does for you: - Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest - It helps you keep muscle while dropping fat, so your shape tightens instead of shrinking - It improves the way your body handles carbs, sending more into your muscles instead of storing them - It boosts your confidence and resilience—you start to feel strong again If you need a refresher head over to the classroom! And as always, if you have any questions please feel free to ask :)

Happy Monday! Our second pillar we cover in our end of summer lock in challenge happening in our sister community revolves around strength training. With the challenge comes a framework of workouts and movement patterns to focus on but I want to see if those of you who aren't participating know how many days of lifting are recommended. How many days do you think are recommended? I want to know your thoughts and why😎

Team, I just want to take a moment to say how proud I am of you guys. Some of you have tapped into a rhythm Some of you have began to improve your sleep Some of you have been more consistent with workouts You guys are killing it and I love to see it! Seeing you guys win is one of the best feelings ever :) Keep crushing it y’all! Coach is proud.

Inflammation is one of the first things we go after during week 1 of our end of summer lock in challenge happening in our sister group. I call these causes of inflammation triggers. For a lot of us, these triggers cause discomfort and unwanted bloating. But in most cases they are things that are hard to get rid of because they are some things we enjoy. I know it can be hard at first so if you’re struggling with getting some of these off of your menu, I hear you. But know that I also think you’re 100% capable of adjusting and you can absolutely do it. It just takes practice. Good thing is, the less you eat of these triggers, the less you crave them and that’s huge! You’re taking a step closer to your goals when you make hard decisions and adjustments so give yourself some credit and keep pushing! Happy Friday team :)
