How To Get Strong, Build Muscle, and Drop Body Fat

In this episode, I share an in-depth guide for women who have never engaged in serious strength training but want to build muscle and reduce body fat. I discuss my personal transformation journey from being a cardio-focused 'bunny' to a kettlebell 'queen', and emphasize the importance of following progressive strength training programs. Key topics include exercise selection focusing on compound lifts, lifting relatively heavy weights, progressive overload, and the significance of rest and recovery. I also cover essential aspects of nutrition, such as macronutrient balance, the benefits of carbs before workouts, and the importance of protein for muscle recovery. Additionally, I highlight the need for adequate sleep, hydration, stress management, and maintaining a growth mindset. My advice is to implement these changes gradually for long-term success and to seek help from professionals like personal trainers and registered dietitians.
