Welcome Back!

It's been 10ish long months since my last recording... Hey, we all get busy with stuff & things, so let's find our rhythm. In this episode we'll talk about how powerful it can be to pair your workouts with something you look forward to - such as a TV show, music, audiobook, etc. While the motivation to get healthy, lose weight, get strong, and in general become a badass mf can get you to purchase the gym membership, sometimes you need something else to get your butt out of bed and through the door. If you need a little more support and direction, you can find me at StrengthOverDiets on socials ✌️❤️

What is the best workout if you only have 20-30 min a day?

Challenge your body in 3 main ways: Strength - lift heavy. Pick 2-3 big compound movements. Muscle building - Pick 4-5 exercises, with moderate weight, moderate reps, still focus on big movement exercises Zone 2 conditioning - for stress management, heart health, and improved recovery. This could be a circuit or any steady state cardio machine. HR = 60-70% of max heart rate.

How can I overcome emotional eating when things feel so overwhelming?

Phase 1: Awareness. Pinpoint your triggers (work, relationships, news, etc) *Get specific* Pinpoint your comforts (beer, wine, junk food, etc) Phase 2: Identification. Identifying what about these situations causes you stress/discomfort. “What are you running from?” Lack of control, fear of rejection, uncertainty, lack of safety Identifying what the food gives you that you crave. “what are you running towards?” Dopamine hit, Sense of control, Rebellion Phase 3: New Habit. What is something else that could give satisfy that craving that is healthier for you. Conversation with a friend Doing an activity you love (art, reading, movie) Doing something active Getting your love language fulfilled

How much protein do you REALLY need?

Sick of seeing cottage cheese recipes everywhere? Do you find yourself wondering how much protein is in a breath of air? Are you hoping your favorite winery comes out with a new protein malbec? Well today we're going to talk about why the hell protein matters and why people won't shut up about it.
