Here’s what you really need if your goals are fat loss and to look “toned”

Strength training with progressive overload > pilates

Real, nutrient dense food that’s high in protein > green juice or “low calorie/low carb/low fat” foods or processed candy bars labeled “protein”

Recovery, sleep, stress management, water, steps > always trying to reach for a quick fix , a magic fat burning pill , or spending hours punishing yourself with cardio

You just need a better strategy my love xx #howtostartyourfitnessjourney #tipsforfitnessjourney #bodytransformation #bodytransformation

If God wasn’t real we wouldn’t be here. Comment “God is Real” if you agree Plus to not believe in him is actually kinda foolish. First because that’s what the word says Psalms 14:1. Secondly to really believe this is all by accident is crazy. If you say science, cool, but what started
