Tip #11: The Fat Burning Power of Lifting Heavy

Aug 26 (edited) • MIndSh*t & Weight loss tips

I’ve been training clients for over 30 years and nothing comes close to heavy lifting when it comes to burning fat.

I had a client, 50 years old, stuck in a fat-burning slump. She was eating clean, started doing short crazy cross fit workouts, doing bands, Pilates, walking… and the fat wouldn’t budge.

I told her straight: “If you want to fix this, we need to lift heavy.”

Her response? “Aren’t I too old? Won’t it make me bulky?”

Nope. We start where you are. We lift at your level. We take it slow and increase the weights safely.

She trusted the process and in 45 days, she dropped 6 lbs of fat.

💪 Here’s what heavy lifting does for you:

✅ Builds stronger bones (critical as we age)

✅ Fires up fat-burning hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF-1

✅ Speeds metabolism so you burn fat long after your workout

✅ Protects against serious disease (yep, research backs it, lower risk of cancer, heart disease, and more) MUSCLE LITERALLY IS THE ORGAN OF ANTI AGING AND LONGEVITY!!!!!

Lifting heavy isn’t about getting bulky. It’s about keeping your body young, strong, lean, and sculpted.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone said I don't wanna get all bulky!! It hard to add so much muscle....rememeber I was a competitive body builder for 25 years!!! When I was the absolute most muscular in regular close you thought I was so tiny!!!!

✨ MindShift Moment:

Cardio and “light toning” have their place, but they will never give you the fat-burning edge that lifting heavy does. If you’ve been grinding away and not seeing results, it’s not you ,it’s your program.

GET OFF THE STAIR MASTER AND STOP WITH THE BOOTCAMPS FOR A WHILE!

💡 Your Challenge Today:

Ask yourself: When’s the last time I challenged my muscles to lift more than they’re used to?

Start small if you need to. Add weight. Build confidence. Watch your body respond!!!
