Finding the balance between chasing fitness goals and working out in a way that actually feels good has been a journey.
Thereās something addictive about the harder workouts ā HIIT, CrossFit, powerlifting. But thereās a dark side, especially when you live with chronic illness.
My body became very sensitive to high-intensity training. Iād push harder, get more inflamed, gain weight, and feel exhausted. Meanwhile, fitness influencers kept saying you wonāt see results unless you go harderā¦ and my body was like, thatās not true.
Iāve been consistently active for almost a decade ā as someone who didnāt grow up playing sports, thatās a huge win. But in the last two years Iāve had to completely change my approach.
What I needed was gentle consistency. Once I stopped fighting my body and started listening to it, I really started seeing results.
After losing a significant amount of weight, I wanted to build muscle ā so I wrote a 12-week program for myself that honored my needs and my cycle. I completed it, saw real muscle growth, and had to share it with you.
If youāre tired of feeling depleted after workouts instead of energized, this program is for you.
And itās completely free. No catch. Just download it and use it.
Because building and maintaining muscle is truly the fountain of youth ā for your mobility, your strength, and because muscle is anti-inflammatory. šŖš½
