#209 - How to reverse engineer the body you want with Kathleen Knauf

One of our amazing coaches, Kathleen, is back on our podcast. We’ve had many of our coaches on here, but now we’re going through different client case studies with each one. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode with Kathleen, go back and give that a listen. She was a classic over-exerciser, under eater but has made incredible changes and had an amazing transformation

So, I wanted to get Kathleen on here to show you how you can reverse engineer the body or body composition you want.

In this episode, Kathleen and I discuss:

➡️Why it takes 12-18 months for most transformations

➡️Once you've built the body you want why you can do less work to maintain it

➡️Why it’s beneficial to build muscle when losing weight

➡️Can you lose weight without strength training?

➡️How muscle is beneficial through menopause

➡️How Kathleen approaches body recomposition for clients

➡️Healthy body fat percentages (and where most women are most happy)

➡️Why “getting lean” takes discipline and precision, if you want to do it in a healthy way

➡️How we approach lifting to get you to your desired body composition

➡️Why this journey is never linear

➡️Making sustainable lifestyle changes

➡️How everything is simple once you learn it
