Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Strength Training, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Recipes, Fat Loss
Hey Mamma! Do you struggle to lose weight but you’re so overwhelmed by the conflicting information out there you don’t know where to start? Is it hard to stay motivated with building consistent exercise and healthy eating routines in the chaos of your busy working mom life? Are you exhausted by trying random online workouts and not seeing any progress? Do you wish you had the time to prioritize yourself AND take care of your family well? You’re in the right place. Welcome to the Effective Weight Loss for Moms podcast, where you will learn how to lose weight and finally feel confident in your own skin through simple strength training routines. Hey, I’m Rachel. A mom of 5, follower of Jesus, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Personal Trainer. After my 3rd baby, I found that my postpartum body was holding onto excess weight (especially in my belly!), despite doing everything I’d done in the past to try and lose weight. Eating less, lots and lots of cardio, desperate fad diets - nothing worked - and my confidence took a big hit as a result. I realized that I needed to do things differently in this new stage of life, and discovered the power of strength training! I needed a simple, effective workout that fit my busy mom life that didn’t take forever in the gym! I stopped focusing on only cutting calories, dropped the insane cardio workouts, and started fueling my body like the athlete I was! For the first time, I was able to be consistent with my strength training routine. I got stronger, lost the excess pounds, and finally felt confident again! And now I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with you! If you’re ready to lose fat, build muscle, build confidence, and enjoy working out with a routine that fits your life as a busy mom - then this podcast is for you! Get off that elliptical machine, grab your protein shake, and let’s start getting some RESULTS! *Disclaimer: Your health is your responsibility. Always check with your doctor before starting a new diet or exercise regimen.
