Summary
Highlights
The creator discusses her weight gain and how she plans to transition into a new phase, which she initially refers to as a body recomposition (recomp). She clarifies that true body recomposition (building muscle while losing fat) is typically for beginners, those returning after a break, or those using performance-enhancing substances.
She clarifies that her goal is more of a cutting phase to reveal more muscle definition. She will maintain her current diet but increase her activity level through cardio and walks with her dog to create a calorie deficit.
The creator emphasizes that everyone's needs differ, even with similar goals. She highlights the importance of choosing workouts that fit your schedule and effort level. She stresses setting yourself up for success by designing your environment to support your goals (e.g., preparing workout clothes, stocking healthy foods).
The key to consistency comes from changing your narrative from 'I have to' to 'I get to'. This shift in perspective fosters gratitude and helps overcome resistance to challenging habits. She also shared that she is working on a Elevate guide with her workout plan which will be linked in the description.
Regardless of the goal (muscle building or fat loss), the workouts remain the same, using resistance training for muscle maintenance and cardio for fat loss. She discusses workout volume and emphasizes the need for proper recovery to avoid wasting effort. For leg day she normally does four to five exercises.
