How often do you incorporate strength training in your workout routine?  Many women believe that the only way to lose weight is to increase their cardiovascular activity. However, cardio alone isn’t the best way to lose weight and tone up. In today's episode, Brian and I talk about the benefits of strength training. Strength training is very important to incorporate in a workout routine because not only does it burn calories in the moment, but your body continues to burn calories for up to 48 hours after the strength training is done.  If you want to sustain fat loss, increase bone mass and density, or gain muscle tissue, strength training is going to be the key. Listen to Episode 43 of Six-Pack, to learn all you need to know about strength training, the advantages as well as the misconceptions around it, and ultimately why strength training needs to be incorporated into your workout routine. In This Episode, You Will Learn:The impact of cardio on your health (2:25)The misconception about strength training (5:50)How strength training helps your ligaments and joints (14:20)Recommendations to start strength training (15:40)Why your injury shouldn’t limit you from strength training (24:40)Let’s Connect!InstagramWebsiteFacebook

When was the last time you failed?  To me, the words failure and success go hand in hand because without failure, we don’t have the opportunity to grow and learn from our mistakes to then fuel our success. In today's episode, I talk about overcoming failure in life. Failure, by definition, means not being successful. However, ‘success’ means something different  to each of us because we all have different goals and desires that we are measuring this success by. Most people view failure as a bad thing, but really failure re-routes our life to areas of success. Instead of feeling slowed down by failure, use it as a motivation to keep working towards your goals. Listen to Episode 42 of Six-Pack, to learn about the times that I have failed, why failure is a motivation to me, and why failure is inevitable. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why failure is a motivation to me (2:50)Not all failures are equal (6:00)What my failures taught me (10:36)Not to wallow in your pain (17:42)To take accountability for your actions (21:10)Let’s Connect!InstagramWebsiteFacebook
