🌟 Screw Starving Yourself: Embrace a Healthy Approach to Fitness at Any Age! 🌟 Would you ever tell a teenage girl to slash her calories and starve herself to stay thin? Absolutely not! We understand that promoting such behavior can harm a young woman’s self-image and physical health. Yet, when women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s aim to tone up, many of us find ourselves falling into that same restrictive mindset. It’s incredible how society continues to accept restrictive diets, thinking it's somehow okay for older women to deprive themselves of the nutrition they need—while cringing at the sight of young girls doing the same. The truth? There is NO age at which it’s healthy or effective to deprive yourself. The Fallacy of Restrictive Dieting Why take 20 steps backward for only 10 steps forward? Fad diets and excessive calorie-cutting can create a frustrating cycle of disappointment, burnout, and a negative relationship with food. Instead of succumbing to the noise that promot...

Our clients couldn't tone until they knew THIS... They tried everything before Applied Fitness Fads. Running. Low carb. No carb. Any and every plan under the sun, they felt they'd tried it already. And menopause just tanked things even more. But there were 3 mistakes they kept making. Mistakes that were so common, yet so easy to fix. You can discover these 3 mistakes you've been making (and how to fix them) right here!

Here's What Women Over 40 Who Lose Weight (and KEEP it Off) Know... What NO longer works: 1. Cardio - gone are the days of doing excessive cardio. Believe it or not - that no longer works for women over 40 and can put more stress on our bodies. We need to turn to strength training - 3x’s/week. 2. Eating under 1200 calories. I know we think this is the solution to lose weight but it is NOT! We need to eat to fuel our body and burn fat. By limiting food intake, it is only harming our bodies - not helping it. 3. Limiting Carbs. I know we are overly cautious when it comes to eating carbs. We think they are the enemy so we prepare our plate by removing or limiting them. Yes - processed carbs are the enemy but healthy carbs are not. 4. Exercise then sit all day. Back in the day, I think we spent a lot of time in the gym exercising but then we came home and sat the rest of the day. I think many of us still do that today. We think that because we got our 30-60 minute ex...

Cardio over 40? Make no mistake, this is a warning: Cardio turned its back on all of us long ago. In our 20s, sure we could run all we wanted and our bodies happily ate up all that hard effort... But as we age, our bodies produce more stress hormones during heavy cardio — and those stress hormones retain more body fat. I'm already feeling it in my 30s, but of course it's MORE pronounced in the 40s and beyond! So cardio isn't the saving grace it used to be... Which is why you want to rely on THIS instead.

THIS Even Shocked Me! 50! This is the daily recommended protein intake from the FDA. It doesn't factor in weight, muscle density, fat %, height, or any other meaningful measurements... Just one blanket statement for everyone. 50 grams of protein. Compare this with what our clients eat... Often 125g, 150g, and even MORE depending on the client we're helping reach her body composition goals. Why do we recommend so much more? It's not because the FDA is wrong and we're right. They're providing basic nutrition guidelines. NOT advice on toning and building lasting muscle definition that keeps you strong, healthy, and mobile as you age. So today's takeaway? If you track nothing else, at least start with protein. Just see how much you're eating and don't overestimate. Then raise it and see if you don't start building more muscle faster than you'd ever expect. There's no magic key to toning, but protein is pretty damn close!

Bet you didn't know THIS about your metabolism... When your metabolism slows it throws off your hormones, there's a new power struggle that kicks in... Progesterone vs. cortisol Now, progesterone plays multiple essential roles, not the least of which is curbing your stress response from cortisol. What does this mean in a broad sense? Less progesterone = higher cortisol response. Cortisol = 'survival mode' and fat buildup. So when you stress about things and your mind is occupied with a mound of BS you have to deal with... Or you hit the gym for too long and put tons of extra physical stress on your body... Expect more stored fat covering up that muscle tone you've worked so hard for. It sucks, but it's the truth. That's why no amount of cardio will get the job done. Why no amount of food cutting (another stressor) will work, either. This leaves only one answer to eliminate that constant push-pull — only one way to minimize the minuses of exer...

Cookie- Cutter GENERIC-based plans often go off the rails after the age of 40... What used to work no longer produces the same results, no matter how strictly you adhere to it. Even if you follow it to the letter. A big reason is that no matter how much else stays the same, one thing fundamentally does not: Metabolism. When your metabolism becomes sluggish, and stalls so does your results. What used to work... suddenly stops... Exercise needs change Plus stress tolerance and so many other factors. Taking all this into account, it's easy to assume that nothing will work But nothing could be further from the truth! You just need to update your rule book a bit. If that sounds like an oversimplification, I totally get it... But it will make much more sense when you see how straightforward it can be to get toned after 40 When nothing else seems to work and you want a fitness success after 40 solution... Try this....
