If you’re over 40 and you’ve been focused on losing weight but still don’t feel lean, strong, or defined, the problem may be that you’re chasing the wrong goal.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4 biggest shifts that changed my body after 40, including why weight loss and fat loss are not the same, why body composition matters more than the number on the scale, why muscle is so important, and why I stopped using workouts just to burn calories.
You’ll also learn why I stopped trying to lose weight all year and started using intentional phases for fat loss, maintenance, and building muscle instead.
If you’re tired of dieting, doing more cardio, and still not getting the body you want, this will help you understand what to focus on instead.
