They also map a three-day maintenance split, shout out trainees’ progress, and surprise a listener on the weekly cash call—before teasing a bigger New Year run.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

They map a realistic goal (225 by month’s end), lay out a no-panic plan for his brother’s wedding trip (track, don’t “earn” binges with extra cardio, find a gym before you fly), and share a simple sick-day playbook (saltwater gargle, zinc lozenges, hydrate) so momentum survives December.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

    Nobody Warns You About THIS After Losing Weight

John recaps Thanksgiving, logs a 14:55 mile, and weighs in at 228 after his first real cardio week, while Ilya explains why scale swings (water, sodium, hormones) don’t equal fat gain. They map a four-day cardio plan, get serious about tracking lifts, navigate family pressure at the table, and debunk the viral 72-hour water fast as a fat-loss shortcut.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

    If You Start in January… You Already Lost

The crew keeps it real on why travel wrecks routines (unless you literally pack meal prep), why starting during the holidays makes you bulletproof in January, and how to bounce back after an overeat without spiraling. Plus a quick creatine myth-bust (it’s water in the muscle, not your face) and a feel-good cash-call to a listener. FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

Ilya also reveals crashed testosterone and high LDL from overtraining, outlines a deload week, and shares simple fixes, a reminder that bloodwork can catch what the mirror won’t.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

Plus a celeb body-fat guessing game and a quick fan cash-call.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!

John leans into tracking with a budget sleep/HR band, suffers a chaotic spelling-bee challenge, then checks his nutrition—log the Korean BBQ, hit daily protein, and set a steady mini-cut before his brother’s wedding.FOLLOW @xeelafitness ON INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK & YOUTUBE!
