43 - Why Doing Less Finally Changed My Body

If you’ve been stuck in the bootcamp, HIIT, cardio-chaos cycle and wondering why your body still doesn’t look the way you want, this episode is for you. I’m sharing how I lost 15 pounds over the past year by actually doing less: no more endless runs, no more constantly sore muscles, no more chasing calorie burn, and no more using exhaustion as proof that a workout “worked.” Lift. Progress. Walk. Eat protein. Recover. Repeat. Follow me on Instagram: @KindaAthleticClubApply for coaching: www.fitwellweb.com [http://www.fitwellweb.com]
