"What surprised us the most was the fact that women who do muscle strengthening had a reduction in their cardiovascular mortality by 30%," Gulati says. "We don't have many things that reduce mortality in that way."

"The take home message is – let's start moving," says Eric Shiroma, a prevention-focused researcher at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, which provided grant support for the research.

The weather is really bad here so I've been trying to fit some indoor workouts into my limited space. Mostly pilates and dumbbells this week. Still focusing on eating in a surplus.

Not seeing many changes but I know it's all in due time. Hard to stay motivated with the gloomy sky.

Unlocking the Power of Keto: Two Compelling Reasons Why It's a Healthy Choic

The ketogenic diet, commonly known as the keto diet, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has gained popularity for its potential health benefits. While it's important to note that individual results may vary and consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable before starting any new diet, here are two important tips that highlight why the keto diet is often considered a healthy approach for some individuals: Click here to get Ultimate Keto plan

Effective Weight Loss and Metabolic Benefits: One of the primary reasons people choose the keto diet is its potential for weight loss. When you restrict carbohydrates and consume higher amounts of healthy fats, your body enters a state of ketosis. In ketosis, your body shifts from using carbohydrates as its main fuel source to utilizing fat for energy. This metabolic switch can lead to significant weight loss, especially in the initial stages of the diet.

2. Potential Cognitive Benefits: Another area of interest regarding the keto diet is its potential cognitive benefits. The brain is highly dependent on glucose as an energy source, but during ketosis, ketone bodies produced from fats can serve as an alternative fuel for the brain. This may lead to improved mental clarity, focus, and concentration for some individuals.

Some research suggests that the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. However, it's important to note that further studies are needed to fully understand the long-term effects and potential benefits in these areas.

Ok not that anyone here is super invested in my #fitnessjourney but I also love talking about fitness so you’re all gonna hear about it. We’re about halfway through the year so far and spring rugby season is nearly over so I can move back from maintenance to bulking and working on my deadlift max for the year. I really want to pull at least 325, and I’m only 50 pounds off of that goal. If i hit 325 I’m gonna push like hell for 350- if not this year then hopefully 350 by next spring.

I’ve had some serious setbacks- my grandpa dying seriously fucked me up mentally like two months ago and I honestly started off the year on a low point because work was exhausting. And now I’m back at what I’m trying not to consider a setback but it’s hard. I’ve had tendon issues in my knees forever, exacerbated by a college rugby injury that never got fixed so it acts up really badly when I’m running frequently.

My trainer has me backing off most heavy lifts and basically re-learning how to stand, because hopefully that’ll strengthen the muscles and tendons around my shins, and I’m also working on foot and ankle flexibility. It’s hard to back off of lifting because I really love it, but also because…I’m good at it, and it’s hard to be a big person trying to do mobility stuff when you’re not good at it. It’s really honestly embarrassing and I’m trying not to let that get to me.

And I still hate cardio.

How to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor (and Why it Matters)

How to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor (and Why it Matters)

Having a strong pelvic floor is vital for women in the gym. Unfortunately, is often ignored. I’ve been coaching women across the U.S. for the last 8 years and over those years I’ve realized: we’ve got to build more awareness and urgency around the importance of this piece of anatomy. Ladies, I want to use this article to teach you why, and more importantly how, to strengthen your pelvic…

to build more fast-twitch muscles

i have a theory..... if you’re a woman, maybe you’re over 30.... you want to build fast-twitch muscles, and some more muscle mass.... more strength, for performance.... and, you have time:

build slow-twitch muscles first. lift weight, slowly. do “lower-impact” exercises that build mass. then, convert the slow-twitch to fast-twitch by doing higher intensity exercises. this is safer. your ligaments, joints, etc have time to get stronger, to get used to higher loads. there will be less chance of injury than trying to directly build fast-twitch muscles.

My latest comparison pic. Before and after (during?) haha.

⬅️ 18th April 2024 • 41kg ➡️ 25th August 2024 • 48kg

I have 7kg to gain before I reach my goal weight in terms of BMI but I'm not really focusing too hard on the scales at the moment, rather how I feel in my body & focusing exercises on the areas I want to accentuate as the weight comes in.

I'm def going to be adding a core strength day to my routine. I find it really difficult to eat in surplus & tracking macros etc as someone in remission from ED is a slippery slope, so I find myself filling a lot of my daily surplus calorie requirements with dairy and sugar just to get over the line which is starting to show in my lower belly more than I would like. I'm hoping once I reach my goal weight and start eating maintenance calories that cardio will start to bring that down but please feel free to leave advice/thoughts on that!

Why Lower Body Resistance Training is Crucial for Women

Many women often find themselves in the gym focusing on cardio or upper-body workouts, sometimes avoiding lower-body resistance training altogether. Perhaps you’re worried about bulking up, or maybe you just don’t enjoy working out your legs as much. However, focusing on leg muscles and lower body strength can offer numerous health benefits and enhance overall fitness. Before anything else, let’s…
