182| Are Your YouTube Workouts Making You Miss Out On Strength Gains?

You're working hard, getting sweaty, and feeling exhausted—but are you actually getting stronger? If you're doing YouTube workouts, random social media classes, or group fitness without tracking progress, the answer is probably no. In this episode, I break down the science of input, output, and variables—and why random workouts produce random results (or worse, no results). Your muscles need progressive overload and clear signals to adapt. Without measurement, you have no idea if what you're doing is working. Stop guessing. Start winning. Learn how to build real strength gains as a busy mom. -Rachel Next steps:  Book a free discovery call [https://calendar.app.google/DHBe1vUZLWHtGrch9] The Fat Loss Formula for Moms [https://www.effectivefitnessforwomen.com/fatlossformula]

180| The Gift Your Are Giving Your Kids (Even When You Don't See It)

It's Christmas Eve, and guess what? One of the most valuable gifts you're giving your kids this Christmas has nothing to do with what's under the tree. Let me explain: This fall didn't go as planned for me. Kid struggles, going into perimenopause early, and my fat loss goals? They didn't happen. I had to make the hard choice to take a break from weight loss to strengthen my metabolism. My body wasn't cooperating, the scale was going up, and I didn't feel like myself. But I stayed consistent anyway. I kept working out even when I didn't want to. I kept showing up even when nothing seemed to be working. And my kids were watching. If you're in a season where weight loss isn't happening, where your body feels like it's working against you, where you're tired and frustrated and wondering what's the point—this episode is for you. Because what your kids are learning from you right now is more valuable than any number on the scale. They're not learning from your fat loss results. They're learning from your consistency, your perseverance, and your attitude while you stick with it.  This Christmas Eve, I want you to see what they see: a mom who doesn't quit, who values herself enough to keep going, and who's teaching them what self-worth actually looks like. Have a Merry Christmas! -Rachel Next Steps:  Protein Cheat Sheet [https://www.effectivefitnessforwomen.com/free-resources] The Fat Loss Formula for Moms [https://www.effectivefitnessforwomen.com/fatlossformula]
