    Ep 34. Why “Toning” = Lifting + Eating Enough (Not Starving + HIIT)

    Everyone wants to be “toned” — but most people are chasing it the completely wrong way. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of eating less, doing more HIIT, and wondering why your body still feels soft, tired, or unchanged… this episode is for you. In this episode, we break down what toning actually means (hint: it’s not starvation or endless cardio) and why the body you’re trying to achieve is built through lifting weights and eating enough — not burning yourself into the ground. You’ll learn: What “toning” really is from a physiological point of viewWhy lifting weights is essential for shape and definitionWhy under-eating works against your goalsHow HIIT fits in — and where it goes wrongWhat to focus on instead if you want long-term resultsThis episode is a must-listen if you want to stop shrinking yourself and start building a stronger, leaner, more confident body — without extremes. Strong is toned. Fuelled beats exhausted.

    Ep33. How to Avoid Burnout by Jan 30th (and Beat “Quitters Day” for Good)

    By the end of January, most people don’t quit because they’re lazy — they quit because they’re burnt out. The all-or-nothing approach, the pressure to be perfect, and trying to change everything at once is exactly what leads to the infamous Quitters Day. In this episode, we break down how to avoid burnout before it hits — and how to build habits that actually last beyond January.

    Ep32. Fitness Myths Women Are STILL Being Sold

    The fitness industry has been lying to women for decades, and it’s time we talked about it. From “toning” workouts and 8-week shred challenges, to pink-labelled supplements, detox teas, and fear-based menopause advice, women have been sold myths instead of methods that actually work. In this episode, we break down some of the biggest fitness lies women are still falling for, and share the truth you need to hear if you want real, sustainable results. No extremes. No gimmicks. No quick fixes.  If you’re tired of wasting time, money, and energy on fitness trends that leave you frustrated, stuck, or starting over again, this conversation is for you. Because getting stronger, leaner, and healthier shouldn’t come from fear or restriction. It should come from understanding, consistency, and doing the basics well. Press play if you’re ready to stop chasing myths and start building a body you can actually maintain 💚 Love this episode? 💚 Share it on your intagram story and tag me @sami_livestrong Want to connect? 🤝🏽 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sami_livestrong/ 💪🏼 Ready to start living a Stronger Life — inside and out?

    Ep29. Why waiting until January 1 is the worst thing you can do

    If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll start properly in January,” this episode is for you. In this episode, we’re breaking down why waiting for January 1st often sets people up to fail — and why starting now, imperfectly, is actually the smarter, more sustainable approach to health and fitness. We’ll talk about: Why momentum matters more than motivationHow habits beat all-or-nothing thinkingWhy 5 “off” days don’t ruin your progressHow you can still win December even with social eventsAnd why January feels easier when you’re already movingEven if you go wild for a few days, you still have 60–70% of the month left to show up for yourself — and that’s where real progress is made. This episode is about dropping pressure, building consistency, and stepping into January feeling confident instead of behind. Start now. You don’t need perfection — just momentum 💚 Love this episode? 💚 Share it on your intagram story and tag me @sami_livestrong Want to connect? 🤝🏽 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sami_livestrong/ 💪🏼 Ready to start living a Stronger Life — inside and out?
