Hi Reader
Welcome back to 1UP,
my weekly newsletter where I share all things health and mindsets to help you get stronger, feel younger and live longer.
Your short cut to faster results
Last week I shared with you my weight lift routine and the principles I have used that have allowed me to add 5.5 lbs muscle in one year.
In case you were wondering, that's pretty good gains for a woman in her 40s: about half a pound of muscle every month. Men can expect 1 lb per month of proper training and nutrition.
Once I got it all lined up, my body composition kept getting better.
But I didn't get there right away and I didn't get there without making mistakes along the way.
In fact, at first, I LOST 1.6 lbs of precious muscle, and added body fat - even though I was doing the work. 🤨
These mistakes are actually common pitfalls most people encounter when trying to get back in shape or lose weight.
That's why I put them out in Episode 21 of 40s Fitness Reset Podcast.
Whether you are someone who wants to change their body: lose belly fat and gain muscle, or you are someone who wants to maximize their chances for a long and active life, you will want to listen to this:
Actually, besides the 3 mistakes I have personally made, I share a few more that are common for those of us on a journey to get stronger.
By listening to this episode, you will know what to look out for and you will have a higher chance of success.
This is your short cut to faster results.
PS: We have a guest on next week, talking about natural beauty in our 40s and up, for those of us who are not interested in injections, fillers and other interventions. Super pratical episode coming this Monday.
After that, I'm kicking off the Winter proof series ❄️: a collection of episodes designed to support you in navigating the Holiday season and turn winter into fruitful months for your health.
Please reply to email me what you struggle with the most in this time a year so I can address it on the show.
Thank you for your input!!
