Effective Fitness for Women: Fat Loss & Muscle Gain for Fitness Beginners
Are you tired of not knowing what to do in the gym? Frustrated with trying to eat ”right” but not sure what eating right actually is? Annoyed that you are trying but you’re not seeing results? I get it! Hi, I’m Rachel. Wife, mom of 6, and Registered Dietitian. For years I regularly exercised and ate healthy, but I never felt or looked how I thought I should for the amount of effort I put it. Ever felt that way? Then, after having my 3rd baby, I just couldn’t get the extra fat off my midsection-no matter how little I tried to eat or how much I ran on the treadmill. That all changed when I discovered how to use the weightlifting and nutrition principals that bodybuilders use to lose fat and gain muscle. Using my background as a Registered Dietitian, I adapted these principals to align with my goals of looking and feeling strong, lean, and toned but with BALANCE in my life as well. Because let’s face it, as a mom of 6 and wife I don’t have time to spend 2 hours in the gym every day-and I bet you don’t either! Want to know how I did it? Subscribe now to find out! In this podcast, you are going learn: ->Weightlifting and nutrition for fat loss and muscle gain, using bodybuilding principles ->How to efficiently plan your workouts so you aren’t spending 2 hours in the gym every day -> How to figure out how much protein and calories you need to reach your goals ->How to do all this and still have BALANCE in your life for your family Are you ready to get EFFECTIVE in your fitness and start seeing REAL results?
