    Ep40. Are you training hard enough to actually see results??

    Are you training hard enough to actually see results — or just going through the motions? In this episode, we break down what effective training really looks like — beyond sweat, soreness, and exhaustion. You’ll learn the key signs that your workouts are doing their job, including: • Why slowing reps matter • How close to failure you should be training • The role of progressive overload • Strength gains and muscle changes • Improving technique under challenge If you’ve been consistent but not seeing the progress you expected, this episode will help you reflect, adjust, and train with more intent — without burning yourself out. Because results don’t come from doing more… They come from doing what matters — consistently 💚 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?

    Ep39. The Truth About “High Protein” Bars (You’re Being Misled)

    Protein bars are everywhere — and most of them are lying to you. Just because something says “high protein”, “20% protein” or “25% protein” doesn’t mean it’s actually a good protein source for your goals. In this video, I break down: • What “high protein” claims really mean in Australia & NZ • How food labels mislead you • Why “25% protein” doesn’t mean what you think • How to calculate protein efficiency in seconds • Why size and calorie density matter • What makes a protein source high quality • Real supermarket bar comparisons I’ll show you exactly how to tell if a protein bar is: ✔ Actually helping your protein goals ✔ Filling ✔ Efficient for its calories ✔ Or just clever marketing This isn’t about demonising foods — it’s about making informed choices. If you’ve ever stood in the protein bar aisle confused… this video is for you.

    Ep 35. Is Cardio the Answer for Fat Loss? Let’s Break It Down

    Is cardio really the answer for fat loss — or has it been given a role it was never meant to play? In this episode, we break down the truth about cardio and fat loss, and why doing more isn’t always better. Cardio is incredible for cardiovascular health, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing — but when it becomes the main driver of fat loss, progress often stalls and burnout follows. You’ll learn: What cardio is actually best for (and why it matters for health)How cardio supports fat loss without driving itWhy relying on cardio alone often leads to plateausThe role of strength training, nutrition, and daily movementHow to use cardio strategically instead of as punishmentIf you’ve been smashing cardio but not seeing the results you want — or you’re exhausted from trying to “out-train” your food — this episode will help you reframe cardio and build a smarter, more sustainable approach. Train for health. Build muscle for shape. Use cardio as support — not the solution 💚 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?

    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.
