SUMMARY
In this training, I share a few tips that would literally have saved me from years of starving myself on bad diets and fitness plans.
Even if you never listen to anything else I say, watch this video — it’s a shortlist of some of the most important tips I’ve learned in the process, including:
- What you should do when you mess up and have that slice of pizza or chocolate — and why it’s not as bad as you think…
- The muscle group you definitely shouldn’t train every day if you want to get toned…
- Why carbs are not evil, and how to properly incorporate them into your diet…
- Why an hour of focused exercise is more effective than spending 3 hours on cardio…
- What really happens when you take shortcuts in your workouts and diet…
If you’re just starting out or aren’t happy with how you look and feel right now, watching this will make everything else you do so much easier by giving you focus. And that’s going to get you the results you want so much faster.
This is a short training — under 3 minutes — and taking the time to watch this now could literally save you weeks or even months down the road!
If doing this all by yourself feels overwhelming, my team is taking applications for a free private strategy call, where we help you plan out your journey to getting toned. The women that go through this call feel so much clearer on exactly how to get where they want — and talking to someone who understands is the closest thing there is to a...
SUMMARY
If you don’t have your mindset straight, you’ll defeat yourself before you ever even get to the gym or prep your first meal. So how do you fix that?
Check out this video with my entire process for cutting out all the toxic mental gunk holding you back. Specifically, how you can:
- Take responsibility for where you are right now and stop feeling like a victim
- Identify the “YoYo” patterns that stop you from getting results
- Discover the triggers behind your bad habits and eliminate them
- And get to the root of the problem and take back control
This might not be a sexy topic, but it is 100% the biggest barrier you need to destroy in order to be present in the gym, in your eating, and in every other area of your life.
95% of our actions are unconscious, created by your underlying beliefs and feelings. In the video, I show you how to take advantage of this to stop yourself from slipping back into nasty habits so you can keep up your progress.
This entire process is so much easier if you have an expert walking you through it. My team is still taking applications for private strategy calls — if you want us to create a plan with you to eliminate your self-sabotaging habits, apply now, and see if we still have openings.
