Marked Strength

Ladies… 💪 you just gotta take that first step and pick up that weight. 🏋️‍♀️

If you want to thrive, get toned and look more shapely in your clothes and without, you need to focus on building muscle. ✨

Weight loss is not always the answer to your goals. 🚫⚖️

Women over 40 who lack motivation and consistency to exercise 👇

A common obstacle women face is that they lose motivation for exercise.

They start - Get really excited 😜 - Then it all drops off after a couple of months 🗓️

One of the reasons for this is because you enter into a program with no idea about what metrics you should be hitting.

If your goal is to lose weight, get stronger, tone up and gain muscle, how do you actually know if you are moving closer to those goals?

After a while, without no guidance or idea about what is happening or what should be happening, you throw in the towel and give up.

To fix this, here is what you need to do

1️⃣ Seperate your training phases into blocks based on your body composition goals - Maintenance Phase, Muscle Gain Phase - This allows you to actually lose body fat and gain muscle and not lose muscle with low calorie diets

2️⃣ Understand which metrics you should be aiming for in each phase. I.e in a muscle gain phase you want to see the weight on the scales slightly increase - This gives you weekly check points and goals so you know as a yes or a no if you are on track…not “i feel like I’m getting better”

3️⃣ Stop doing random workouts like HIIT and F45 classes and do a structured strength training program with progressive overload - This allows you to see weekly progressions in strength, which in itself becomes a self motivator.
