Being in the fitness industry, you see a lot of stuff. Things you like, and things you don't like. While I love how much I learn, I have some grievances that I want to address. -Fad diets. We all know them. They give the idea of a quick fix for weightloss and fatloss, and leave us genuine coaches spinning our gears trying to convince people that they are nor the way to go -crappy cookie cutter workout plans, and workout programs that pack so much unnecessary stuff into each workout that you can do more harm than good. It's best to keep it simple and stick to the basics while doing progressive overload. Which is increasing your weights each week as you go along. -supplements. Yes supplements. You don't need a boat load of over the counter supplements. And if you feel the need, talk to your doctor and see what could possibly be going on and get to the root of the problem. -cookie cutter plans and programs. Fitness is nor one size fits all. What works for person A, may not work for person B. Most workout programs can be interchangeable, but when it comes to meal.plans, only registered dietitians and nutritionists should be doing that. If you are certified you can do macros and make suggestions. But even with those, not every breakdown works for everyone. -and lastly, calling shirts pump covers and glute/asses/butts, dumpies. Call it like it is. Stop coming up weird pet names for muscle groups and body parts. It's just weird. As a coach I want to provide a quality program whether it's GRIT. LIFT, personal/group training, or even working with tou on the FASTer way to fatloss through working out, intermittent fasting, and tracking macros. I'm not going to give you a bogus workout or diet program. I won't tell you to follow fad. I will work to find what FITS YOU BEST. Because that is what is important. And also, I will never call working glutes, building wheels, growing a dumpie, or telling you to wear a pump cover. Weat a shirt. That's what it is. So stay tuned, lots of stuff is coming, and I'm ready for it all. Stay safe Don't fall for the crappy diets And drink your water . . . #avatarnutrition #trackyourintake #trackyourmacros #fastercoach #empoweredfitness (at Empowered Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMaZMbOdKJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕘𝕣𝕠𝕨 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕘𝕝𝕦𝕥𝕖𝕤 𝕚𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕟'𝕥 𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕖𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 **this picture is from tuesday** You can workout hard and push your body in the gum every day, but if you aren't eating enough calories, and prioritizing sleep, you enter grow your muscles how you want too. If you are new to working out you can lose weight and gain muscle. Those are called getting "newbie gains" and that's when youbgain some muscle as you lose fat/weight because you are dieting and exercising for the first time or after a taking a long period of time off. But as someone who is seasoned, or trying to grow their legs, arms, back, whatever the case may be, you need to be eating in a calorie surplus. A calorie surplus is needed because your body needs the calories and the nutrients to fuel your muscles and give you the energy to go harder and push more weight. That's not saying you can go and eat a ton of overly processed food and not focus on nutrition and nutrients. You still need to focus on eating whole foods, fruits and veggies, protein, a mix of complex and simple carbs because depending on goals, you don't want to feel like crap in the process by eating a lot of processed junk food. 😅 but as long as you ate tracking your intake even in the surplus, you can still be just as flexible, you just now have more leeway with your food choices. Do not be afraid to eat food and lift heavy because that is the only way to gain the muscle and get the curves that you are looking for. You can still have physique goals as you gain muscle, you just have to make sure you are eating enough, working hard, and not getting far into your head as you gain the muscle. Trust the process and stay the course. You'll be happy with the results. . . . #trackyourintake #trackyourmacros #macrotracking #macrotrackingtips #goodmorning #morningmotivation #morningthoughts #workingmom #workhardstayhumble #workoutmotivation #empoweredfitness #gains #lifeofafemaledriver #LIFT (at Empowered Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaW_VPbOkAi/?utm_medium=tumblr
