1️⃣ Strength training ~ any form, body weight workouts, free weights, whatever form, you will need to achieve resistance, do it. Building muscle for your metabolism sake will help in keeping the unwanted weight and fat off.
2️⃣ Rest and sleep ~ Women over 40 will be extremely busy and that’s just life. But if you are not resting enough, chances of you not balancing your ghlerin and leptin hormones are high. You will constantly feel hungry, so rest up!
3️⃣ Priotize Protein ~ this here is your other secret weapon, helps in keep you satieted and ofcourse helps in repair and building of your muscle. Lack of sufficient protein your meals is a perquisite to weight gain and muscle loss
4️⃣ Eat your carbs ~ that’s right! Your carbs are not the enemy , they are great sources of energy keeping you well energised. The only thing to note is that you choose ‘better’ sources of carbs that are complex and not simple. Do not put your carbs out, I repeat do not keep them off your plate, replace with ‘better’ carbs
5️⃣ Raincheck on too much cardio ~ coaching women had heard me hear this many time, I run 6 days a week and that’s all I do. Trust me cardio is good and very important, but it cannot be the ‘only’ thing you do on a weight loss/ fat loss and muscle building journey. A good mix of the strength training and cardio would give you better results
Bonus..
📍📍 Change your mindest ~ women over 40 hear this all the time. ‘ You can’t lose weight over 40, am here to say you CAN lose weight , lose fat and build muscle while over 40. It’s alittle different but it’s not impossible.
Losing weight for women over 40 is doable and possible. You don’t have to be trapped in a body you feel uncomfortable about. With the right tools and a coach how our body work over 40, you can lose weight too.
