THE FYX 059: Quit Working Your A** Off with Too Much Cardio

We've got a little spin on today's podcast episode with Coach Krysta as the guest of the show. This episode was recorded inside of a Facebook Live with fellow nutrition coaches, Jillian Smith and Jaimie Brewis, who are also co-founders of the Lady Power Moves Project. Jillian and Jaimie are previous guests of The FYX Podcast--check out their interview from Episode 30: Drink [and eat] Your Way Lean this Summer. Jillian and Jaimie invited me into their Lady Power Moves Project 21-Day Challenge as a guest speaker where we weighed in on everyone's favorite debate: cardio vs. resistance training.

In this chat, we break down exactly why resistance training is THE preferred method to fat loss. The lean physique you're chasing? I promise you it's with a pair of dumbbells. Ladies, listen up: it's time to get your a** off of the stairmaster, and your hips under a barbell. You know that booty you want to build? You're literally running away from it with too much cardio.

We outline: 

• How to build a weight training program that MATCHES the way you’re eating and your fitness goals
• Why variety [and unfortunately group fitness] may be holding you back from your dream body
• The importance of doing the seemingly boring work, such as focusing on a step goal, getting more sleep, and following a progressive overload with your strength training
• The total mind fuck that is doing less and eating more
• Why you should collect (sleep, digestion, calorie intake, workouts, energy levels) to be able to make BETTER decisions and understand WHY you’re seeing the results that you are with your physique
• Why every workout shouldn't leave you completely exhausted on the floor 

Coaching spots in The Fitness FYX formula are still open for the new year. Don't be another failed New Year's Resolution statistic in February.
