Why People Believe It: The calorie-burning nature of cardio creates the impression that more cardio equals more fat loss. The immediate sweat and heart rate spike make it feel like the fastest way to slim down.

Why It Seems True: Cardio does burn calories and can contribute to fat loss, but it doesn’t address the bigger picture of body recomposition.

@transformxruby SO much in this episode SO SO much

breathing - bracing

with progress and not much changing

This doesn’t happen linearly

Changing programs or things not working because the weight stopped going up

** this is why having lower rep hard training helps because you recruit them more

Nutrition & lifestyle factor into this fatigue too

And this is why things feel hard but aren’t effective for results

• Higher reps talking about that part jace said

• We do need more time under tension too so theres places for this. 10-

Guys see more change

Booty bands

There are no pushing muscles. Muscles pull – it helps to imagine this for muscle centric movement

• Focusing on core and bracing

• Breathing is underrated

• Its hard to get the best out of exercises if you aren’t optimizing for this

I want to talk about nutrition for results now. We did training for results

** speaking of the running

WE ALL CRAVE A GOOD AFTER PHOTO...
Social media is far from reality
And it should NOT be what you strive for..
Most of you have the most warped idea of what IS realistic, sustainable & PERCEPTION OF TIME.
Motivation doesn't last. The newbie effect doesn't last
It'll be easier for a few weeks or a couple months
Maybe see some results...
Then what? Life happens
Or you open the flood gates with icecream, wine, crisps, snacking....
Time passes and now you REGAIN FAT😰
Mostly around your midsection😰
If youre an on and off dieter, you're PRIMED to hoard fatcells
🥵 hormones & metabolism are tanked
2 ways to look at progress
1. Time to create the best garden...
Your best friend visits 2 months later
Youve hyped up the garden, All the effort into planting the best crop, finding and buying the best soil, etcetc...
But nothing... some weeds, some flowers that once existed bc you did put in some effort...
But the gardening was slack.
Wanting a garden to transform wont happen without consistent gardening. Which doesnt mean perfect, if you skip a day, garden is fine
....
2. You finally hire a finance advisor
Cool, you have someone to help your $$ issues now
A few months later you realise youre still in the same debt.. maybe more
Just because you set intentions for the end goal
and hire help, doesnt mean things fall into place.
Are you making the tradeoffs...
The daily lattes, weekend eats out, uber eats, random unnecessary spends?
Do you even check the price tag? (Calories)
Or if its a speed buy it doesnt count, its only a few dollars
It racks up
Like your snacks, licks, tastes, sips, bits and bobs
Especially as a female... even more if you have a desk job
There is so much more to progress than the scales, photos etc
Only focusing there will have you give up. What's the point...
Invest for at least a year into building your best self. To set yourself up for life
....
Instead of asking ‘how quickly can I see results?"
Ask yourself
“how can I keep them & make PERMANENT progress?”
What’s the point in getting any results
losing any weight
if you cant maintain the progress you make?🚨
there's ZERO point obsessing or stressing over your timeline
& how fast you see change
if you don’t know how to even maintain it 👀
or even learn how to enjoy making it part of your lifestyle
AIM FOR CONSISTENCY✅
Steady the ship first... then sail...✅ with PATIENCE ✅
😬If you don't have something beyond a scale
or after photo
😬If you arent making the PROCESS your focus
w/ ACTION BASED GOALS
😬if you don't become the person who can maintain
& live it...Believing you can... & enjoying life too...
❓the after photo wont matter bc it wont last.
Need some help with this?
💓I'm right here :) let's goooo!!!
