Ditch the Old Weight Loss Mindset

Most of us want to lose weight but go about it in the wrong way.

You do a bunch of high-intensity workouts and restrict calories leaving you with no energy later in the day - ugh.

What if you stopped focusing on just losing weight and took a more balanced approach?

Focus on losing weight and gaining muscle at the same time. There’s a name for that. It's called body recomposition.

Here’s how to look at it:

• Resistance or weight train to build muscle.

• Cardio to stay heart healthy.

• Nutrition to help with weight loss.

Try low-impact workouts to feel energized and not depleted.

Eat lean proteins, healthy fats, colorful fruits and veggies, and healthy fats with a slight caloric deficit.

Find balance and enjoy the occasional treat. You deserve it.
