In this episode I interview Laura, who recently completed my 90-day coaching service and dropped 8.5 pounds and 6.5% body fat, while getting stronger on all of her key lifts, and at 49 years old! She’s a perfect example of how it’s never too late to get into great shape. Regardless of your current age, condition, and history, you can lose fat, gain muscle, and get healthy, you can enjoy the process, and you can stay fit for the rest of your life. Full stop. You may not be able to get as jacked as you were or could’ve been when you were younger, but how much does that really matter? Especially if you love the way you look and feel? That’s what this episode is all about. Now, as with everything, nothing ever goes exactly as planned, and learning to adjust and adapt to conditions is an important part of the fitness game, which is something Laura experienced firsthand. She ran into a number of roadblocks along the way that most of us can relate to, including issues with balancing work with her workouts, getting her meal planning just right, and dealing with hunger and cravings, dietary temptations, peer pressure, and more, and in our chat, Laura shares what has helped her navigate these barriers skillfully and prevent them from getting in her way. So, if you like hearing motivational stories about how people have changed their bodies and lives, and if you want to pick up a few tips that may help you in your personal journey, this episode is for you. 4:09 - What did you look like before and after our coaching program? 5:16 - How long were you traveling for? 8:02 - What type of traveling did you do? 8:47 - Why did you go on a plant-based diet? 11:19 - What benefits did you have from a no-dairy diet? 13:46 - What did you learn from taking things away from your diet? 14:58 - How long were you on our coaching program and what were the results? 15:28 - What were you doing for workouts? 16:18 - What changes did you experience after you increased your protein? 23:08 - What obstacles did you have to overcome? 26:39 - What are your current goals and what’s next for you? 32:42 - Do you feel any physiological difference with training in your 40s compared to yours 20s? 33:04 - What did you do to fix your tight hips? 34:13 - Are you able to do squats comfortably now? 35:54 - How did you go from a client to a coach for our coaching program? 40:46 - What is your advice for people considering our coaching program?
