Switched from only cardio, to implementing strength training a few days a week. Still have a long long way to go!!

2025/9/8 Edited to

Tracking fitness progress over months like April 2025 to August 2025 highlights the benefits of combining cardio with strength training. Cardio exercises improve cardiovascular health and endurance, while strength training builds muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and improves overall body composition. Incorporating strength training a few days a week can accelerate weight loss and enhance marathon preparation by increasing muscle strength and reducing injury risk. Progress photos from May 2025 and August 2025 can visually showcase the transformation and motivate ongoing commitment. To maximize results, it’s essential to maintain consistency and gradually increase workout intensity or volume. Nutrition also plays a key role: consuming a balanced diet rich in protein supports muscle growth and recovery. Tracking hashtags like #myweightlossjourney and #marathonprep connects community members for support and shared experiences. Remember, fitness journeys are personal and require patience—celebrating small milestones encourages sustained motivation. Integrating strength training alongside cardio creates a comprehensive fitness program that delivers improved performance and body transformation over time.

Let me take you through my progress: 📸 1st pic: A couple of years ago, I didn’t know much about fitness or calories. I was going through a tough breakup, eating my feelings, and honestly felt terrible. 📸 2nd pic: This summer—after taking a break from weight lifting and regaining weight, I decided

My 1 year glute progress

1 week won’t ruin your progress…

One week off won’t ruin your results. But inconsistency the other 51 will. This is the week people panic. They think they’ve “blown it.” They fall into all-or-nothing thinking — like they need to go extreme to fix what happened on one day. But here’s what I tell my clients: This week does

When was the moment you learned that your arm pit is in fact a pit? I learned last week when I went to shave. My arm pit now goes in instead of being flush with my skin. Progress. 10 months of relentless work, tears and sweat. If you want results you actually have to do the work.

How I fixed months of no progress.

stopped shrinking my rest times and calories— and started growing muscle instead. 📚 Research: Schoenfeld 2016 (J Strength Cond Res), Morton 2018 (Brit J Sports Med). Train hard, rest long, eat enough. That’s how you actually shape your body. #gymtok #femalefitness #hypertrophy #musclegro
