fat loss tips

Rebekah’s testimonial

| Jenni

Are you skeptical about joining my next round? Wondering if it will be any different from Whole 30 or all the other diets you’ve been on before? Wondering if you’re going to have to go hungry or give up your favorite foods to lose the extra weight?

This mama of THREE felt the same way…

I was a bit skeptical coming into FWTFL – I had done several rounds of Whole30 but for some reason intermittent fasting was scary to me. Probably because I love to eat, haha!

During my first round I was only about 60% committed and I still saw some results. I knew I wanted to commit 100% though, so I joined the VIP Membership and gave it my all.

My body has changed a lot over the last 6 years – I’ve made three little people! Having 3 kids also meant leaving my house to workout was just not possible (my youngest isn’t even 1 yet).

FWTFL ended up being exactly what I needed because it’s real – no products to buy, no shakes instead of meals, just real food that I pick out and prepare myself. And no stressing when I do go to restaurants – I learned to make the best choices for my body.

With the online portal it’s so easy to get a workout in at home. 30 minutes and I’m done 🙌🏼. And a lot of those workouts were completed with a baby right there with me.

My results were shocking to me and I’m even more motivated to see how my body keeps changing. My biggest win is how strong I’m getting – we went on vacation last week and I hiked a mountain while wearing my baby. In the past, this would have been so hard for me. But because I am stronger and healthier, I totally rocked that hike!” ~ Rebekah

Understand This…

| Jenni

Have you ever noticed that when people are looking to get in shape, they often jump right into huge goals?
 
Maybe it’s running a marathon or even just a 5k.
 
The same thing happens with dieting. 
 
Giving up all sugar cold turkey. Saying you’ll never eat carbs again.
 
Whatever the case may be, I’m here to offer far better advice.
 
Practice consistency above all else…because it’s truly the consistency of small changes over time that add up to big results.
 
When you come out the gate at 100 mph, it’s VERY likely that you will end up falling off the wagon within weeks or even days.
 
So, don’t focus on a marathon. Focus on walking a mile every day until that feels almost too easy.
 
Don’t cut all carbs on day 1, but stop putting sugar in your morning coffee.
 
Small, sustainable changes add up over time and are transformational.
 
The pressure alone from the all or none mentality breaks most people before they even start.
 
That’s how years go by and there’s still no change (or things just get worse).
 
So, what are the few small changes you can commit to today that almost feel too easy? That’s a great place to start.
 
xo, Jenni

P.S. Of course, having an accountability and support system is the make or break for most people. If you’d like to see how I can be that for you, message me here, or request a free phone consult here.

Why is it so hard to reach your goals?

| Jenni

You want to reach your health and fitness goals, right? You have the desire to exercise and eat in a way that will cause you to lose weight and/or get fit, don’t you? 

So why is it SO HARD to actually make it happen?

When someone starts out gung-ho about a program or idea about losing weight or getting more fit, they’re often so excited that they forget just how challenging it will be.

So where do you start? 

First, I suggest writing down realistic, measurable goals, and then having a reliable source of accountability. 

Second, make a list of limiting factors – those things that will potentially hold you back and make achieving your goals more difficult. Do you have children (or a husband) who are picky eaters? Do you come home too late to cook a healthy meal? Do you feel unsure what to do when you get to the gym? By identifying these limiting factors before you begin, you can think up strategies for how to work around them. This preemptive work can truly make all the difference in your success.

Once you’ve identified limiting factors and have created a plan for how to deal with them, you’re all set for success, right? Well, again, it’s not that simple because now you have to TAKE ACTION.

I can give you EVERY SINGLE TOOL you need to burn fat and get lean and strong, but it is up to you to implement them.

If you lose focus or the scale is barely moving, I want you to know that I am here for you to support you 100%. I want you to remember the big picture – what it will mean for you to look and feel better, to prevent disease, and to have more energy for the things that are truly important in your life. 

I am here to recognize and support your efforts and to celebrate your success. If you want to really succeed, you can’t go it alone. So share it all with me – your successes AND your challenges. Hit reply and let me know!

Or, jump into my next coaching group. You’ll get nutrition education, a meal plan and recipes, effective workouts, me as your coach, and your own tribe in a private community – sharing awesome wins, encouragement and support, and so much more.

Make it a great week!

Why muscle is super awesome (things you may not know!)

| Jenni

Cardio used to be ALL the rage. It was the sweetheart of the fitness industry for decades, but oh how times have changed!

Today, muscle is coveted. And fairly recently, for the first time, many women are striving for the athletic, muscular look of an athlete.

And you know what? I think this is awesome! There are tremendous benefits to carrying more muscle mass (and less body fat).

Let’s face it …life has changed A LOT in the last century. Day-to-day life once involved physical labor, which is great for building and maintaining muscle.

But because the world doesn’t work that way anymore, it’s very easy for both men AND women to be low on muscle mass and high in body fat. It doesn’t look good when you’re young, and it’s detrimental to your health, vitality, and mobility when you’re older.

Here are 5 important benefits of building and maintaining muscle mass:

  1. Increased metabolic efficiency – when you hold more muscle, your body needs higher amounts of energy to survive. Muscle is 3-5x more metabolically active at rest, which means muscle tissue burns significantly more calories at rest than fat.
  2. Improved insulin sensitivity – this means more control over blood sugar levels and lower instances of diabetes. You’ll also have better blood glucose control. So, less dietary glucose (sugar) will be stored as body fat and you’ll have more energy overall.
  3. Fight sarcopenia – this is age-related muscle loss. This actually starts around the age of 30, but you can reverse and prevent it by hitting the weights. So, if you want to get around on your own when you’re older, not shrink in height, and be strong rather than frail, work to build muscle and keep it! Use it or lose it!
  4. Avoid disease – we all know that excess body fat causes a variety of serious health conditions. One of the best ways to keep fat off is by building muscle. And in doing so, you can avoid potentially deadly conditions like stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and many others. Are you doing all you can to avoid lifestyle-related disease?
  5. Gain confidence – when you have more muscle, you have less body fat, and it should be no surprise that it’s a huge confidence booster! This confidence will spread across all areas of your life, as a better version of YOU emerges. You’ll inspire those around you as you become more positive, fearless, and proud of the body you’ve created.

So you might be wondering…what’s the best way to build and keep muscle?

First – you MUST be lifting! If you’re unsure what to do with those dumbbells, you need to be in my next coaching group! You’ll receive safe and effective daily workouts (in your choice of low impact, home or gym versions), that will have you growing your muscle mass to result in all the benefits above and more!

Other important factors include proper nutrition that supports building muscle, sleep, hydration, and stress management.

If you or someone you know have been putting off the exercise or maybe even afraid to build muscles (ahem, ladies!), I hope you see how essential it is. Not just for now, but for your future, as well. So much of what we may face when we’re older can be prevented by the choices we make now.

So, if you’re currently doing progressive weight training consistently… BRAVO! You’re giving yourself a gift with every workout, so don’t forget that! Who can you share this post with who NEEDS to hear this message? Our future and current health and happiness depend on it.

If you’re not actively working on building or maintaining muscle, please reach out to me. Schedule a free phone consult now. It will change every aspect of your life from how you feel when you look in the mirror to potentially how long you live and with what quality of life. Don’t put it off. You deserve your best!
