Was Training Hard but Getting Nowhere — Here’s Why
You’re not stuck — you’re just under-nourished, overworked, and under-recovered. Eat before training, lift heavy, and rest longer. 📚 Haines et al., J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2021; Hackney 2020; Schoenfeld et al., J Strength Cond Res 2016; Willis et al., J Appl Physiol 2012; Kraemer et al., Med Sci Sp

This was me in 2019. Just one month in - and the results were already showing. But before you get caught up in the "how fast," let me give you context. Back then, I was doing a ton of cardio, and training hard. As far as the rating goes, it was cleaner, but I was still Inconsistent becau

Why am I working out but not seeing results?
I used to work out all the time but felt frustrated because I wasn’t seeing real progress. The truth was, I wasn’t eating enough to fuel my body, and my routine lacked consistency. I thought just showing up occasionally was enough. Once I committed to proper nutrition and made working out a regular

recovery is just as important as your training — in fact, it’s the secret to making real progress. without proper recovery, your muscles don’t have the time or energy to rebuild stronger. that’s where creatine comes in. creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements for muscle recovery

ACCIDENTALLY TURNING WEIGHT TRAINING INTO CARDIO?
Don’t get me wrong I love my my cardio and my daily✨hot girl walk✨🤌🏼 But strength training is what will help us get leaner and build more muscle, whereas cardio serves a completely different purpose. If we’re turning all of our lifts into cardio sessions, we’re just not going to get the same re

I didn’t know I was overtraining…
I used to think more workouts = more results. So I kept pushing—lifting heavy, doing HIIT, barely resting. But my body was inflamed, my sleep was trash, and the fat wasn’t budging. I didn’t know I was overtraining… until I finally slowed down. That’s when I started incorporating LISS cardio
