Hey Reader !

Last week I shared a little bit about my current fitness journey on IG, and how I was able to lose about 20 pounds over the last 3 months.

What I didn’t share was how for many of those weeks of working out, fueling my body properly in a moderate caloric deficit, and regulating my nervous system/ resting it felt like nothing was happening…

My weight often stalled or went up slightly (and continues to do that!), I would look in the mirror and not notice any changes, and my workouts from week to week often felt just as hard, like I wasn’t getting any stronger.

That can be really frustrating….

But despite all of that I kept going anyway.

When this happens, a lot of women tend to give up, or switch up their workout routine or nutrition on a whim.

I’m here to encourage you not to do that. Trusting the process and staying the course is the best thing you can do for your strength and fitness progress.

​#1 Sign you’re trusting the process​

If I had given up on my program whenever I saw the scale stall or go up, I wouldn’t have made all the progress I’ve made. So this is your reminder to keep going!

How often should you lift?

I just had a convo in the DMs about this and I get this question often, so I addressed it in a very quick video.

​How many days per week should women be strength training?​

The answer is going to vary from woman to woman depending on their lifestyle and goals. I break this down in the caption, but generally anywhere from 2-4 lifting sessions per week will ensure noticeable strength and physique changes.

360 Core Training

Core training is more than just crunches and sit ups. There are actually a handful of different type of core exercises you should do to build a stronger, more resilient core that supports all other movements. Check out this reel to take a 360 approach to core training.

I’m going to continue posting strength training 101 videos on IG, so if there is a topic you’d like me to cover, let me know!
