I needed REAL DATA to make changes.
When I began to take strength training serious, the only goal I had was to get a nice body. I started to see some results - then I plateaued. I thought I just had to do the most!
🚩 The most amount of workouts, the most burpees in class, lift the most weight, and push so hard in my workouts that my form was compromised, resulting in injuries.
💪🏼 Once I slowed the F down, focused on form, breathing, feeling the right muscles and tracked my weight, reps and sets — things changed.
I enjoyed these workouts much more than thrashing my body around trying to do so much. I started seeing definition in my body and dropped the body fat.
AND bonus tip: I ate the amount of protein my body needed in order to build the lean muscle mass and lose body fat (around 140-150 grams of protein daily for me).
That progress was over the last 13 years.
Learn from my MISTAKES:
- Have a plan and track your workouts.
- Focus on really good form and control.
- Know how to use your breath to protect your core and pelvic floor.
- Strength train 3-5x a week (not everyday)
- Allow rest and recovery.
- Eat protein!
Are you done winging it?
