Listen "EP41: 2 simple rules for building lean muscle"
Episode Synopsis
So, you want to get rid of belly fat, build lean muscle, and look toned?
Lift weights.
Seriously.
Lifting weights helps you build muscle mass which means reduced body fat.
It might seem like you should be doing cardio (running, cycling, getting in ALL the steps) but really, what you need to do is lift weights and do some strength training.
Strength training changes your body composition, boosts your metabolism, and encourages muscle growth. Plus, when you have higher muscle mass, you have a higher base metabolic rate, which means you burn more calories throughout the day, even when you’re at rest. Torching calories when you’re binging on Netflix or cuddling with your kids? Perfection!
And don’t worry about getting ‘too big’. Honestly, the only way you’ll get ‘too big’ is by taking copious amounts of synthetic steroids, which you’re probably not going to do.
My new fitness program StrongMadeSimple 2.0 (SMS) is designed to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat so you look like you actually go to the gym… even if you’re just doing these workouts in your living room!
StrongMadeSimple 2.0 is a comprehensive, dumbbell-based fitness solution that provides you with a faster and more effective way to exercise at the gym or in the comfort of your own home. It's perfect for keeping you motivated and consistent with your workouts while also getting you the physique results you want!
Additionally, what you eat is just as important as how you train. With the SMS 2.0 Nutrition Companion Guide, you will receive guidance with how to plan and periodize your nutrition as well as recommendations for what to eat. Fueling your body properly and consuming enough calories is key to building lean muscle and changing your body composition for the better.
Both of these resources are available for a limited time!
