Weight loss shouldn’t feel impossible after 40. And if it does…you’re doing it wrong. BUT, it’s not your fault! The old ways of losing weight aren’t designed specifically for mid life ladies!

Unlocking Your Metabolism After 40: The Key to Successful Weight Loss! Are you feeling frustrated with a sluggish, slow, or stalled metabolism as you navigate your weight loss journey after 40? You're not alone! Many people experience metabolic changes as they age, making it feel even more challenging to shed those extra pounds. 😩

The Missing Piece of Your Fat Loss After 40 Success Is this why your hormones are out of whack...? Macros. Strength training. These are undoubtedly crucial components of a successful fitness journey. But there's one more piece to the puzzle that often gets overlooked: sleep. Without sufficient sleep, even the most dedicated workout routines and carefully planned diets can fall short. When you're sleep-deprived, your body's hormones, which regulate metabolism and appetite, can become imbalanced. This can lead to increased cravings, reduced energy levels, and slower weight loss. So, how much sleep do you need? Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, ensure your sleep environment is dark and quiet, and limit screen time before bed. By prioritizing sleep, you'll support your body's ability to recover from workouts, burn fat, and build muscle. So, next time you're feeling frustrated with your fitness progress, consider whethe...

Why Fad Diets Fail: The Hidden Truth Behind Weight Loss Plateaus Why fads = plateaus Drop lbs. Plateau. Gain them back (or more). Keep 'em. This is such a common refrain with restrictive diets that it's impossible to keep track. It's almost expected that you'll be disappointed! But still, women continue to try them... Because they don't see a different way. And they don't realize the secret that restrictive diets use to keep them trapped! So the cycle of cutting, gaining back, and being miserable trying all the diets that never work persists. It's not your fault. And once you know the key that makes restrictive diets work... Their magic is exposed. They can't deceive you anymore, and you regain your personal power to build the body composition YOU want. To discover how restrictive diets are designed to make you want to give up, to start over rather than pressing forward... And how to turn the tables... You can find the answer right throu...

🌟 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...

The key to definition without bulk (there is a difference!) What makes the difference between women who get lean & strong... Vs. big & bulky? If you're worried about lifting weights and aren't sure how to start... And you want to tone sustainably without lots of cardio... You'll love this video!

It’s NOT: ❌ Pilates ❌ HIIT or spin classes ❌ Keto or any other restrictive fad diets ❌ Eating less and moving more ❌ Or jumping on a GLP-1 like ozempic All of these methods will only keep you stuck in the same spot or damaging your metabolism and hormones that will lead you back to regaining all the weight

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.

🌟 Struggling to lose weight after 40? You might be facing weight loss resistance syndrome!

YOU take care of EVERYONE ELSE… now it’s YOUR turn 😊 🤩We see you. You're an incredible mother, a loving spouse, and a superhero juggling so many roles every single day. 🤔Your tireless dedication is nothing short of amazing, but we know it can also be incredibly overwhelming. The constant rush, the never-ending to-do lists, and the pressure to be everything for everyone can make it so easy to put yourself last. But imagine this: What if you could reclaim your energy, feel more vibrant, and finally make YOU a priority? You can..I believe in you. Here’s how

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!

This tones better than years of effort There's one case where consistency will punish you rather than help you tone: Repeating the same workouts. The reason being when you do the same exercises, the same way, for months or years... Something happens. And left unchecked, it crushes your ability to build the body composition you want. In this free video training, I reveal how to avoid it — and what to do instead — for a sustainable body composition that lasts!
