How to See Faster Results in the Gym
Here’s a little secret for you: If you want to see faster results, spend less time focused on the end goal.⠀⠀
Why? Because when you’re seeing stellar results, it’s easier to get comfortable and fall off track.⠀⠀
Comparatively, when you’re seeing lousy results, it’s easier to lose motivation and throw in the towel. ⠀
I’m not saying you can’t be motivated by results. What I’m saying is the more time you spend focused on the outcome, the less time you spend focused on the process. Trust me when I say, the magic tends to unfold when we learn to enjoy the process.⠀⠀
If you’re wondering how you can do a better job at “enjoying the process”, I’d recommend spending more time reflecting on the magnitude of ways you can make progress each week. Those smaller (but just as important wins) can look like:
Maintaining a new lower weight⠀⠀
Increasing your daily step count⠀⠀
Fitting into new or old clothes⠀⠀
Getting back on track faster⠀⠀
Planning ahead more often⠀⠀
Feeling more in control⠀⠀
Enjoying a more balanced relationship with food⠀⠀
Sustaining more energy throughout the day ⠀⠀
Keep in mind even the small wins ultimately get you closer to the results you want. If you need help, connect with me!
Let’s call it out: the supplement aisle is chaos.
Low-intensity exercise, like walking, yoga, activates your parasympathetic nervous system, or your “rest and digest” mode.
When you metabolism is not working, you get fatigue, cravings, hormonal chaos, and that “nothing’s working” feeling.
Most women come to me wanting to fix their metabolism. What they really need to fix is their nervous system.
Menopause marks the end of a hormonal cycle, not your capacity to feel strong and magnetic.
Your metabolism in perimenopause doesn’t need to be “fixed”- it needs to be supported.
Most of what women in their 40s still believe about nutrition is leftover from the early 2000s — and your metabolism deserves an upgrade.
Reverse Dieting is the smartest way to rebuild your metabolism after dieting
You don’t have to choose cardio or strength training, but you do need to know what each one actually does.
If used with intention (and ideally some guidance), alternative options, can help you feel more connected, clear, and calm.
Fat loss in your 40s has less to do with how sweaty you get and more to do with how smart your cardio is.
Starving it into submission is not the move- especially in your 30s and 40s.
