Fit & Healthy Buffalo- Fitness Success After 40

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!

NOBODY Wants To Be "SKINNY FAT"... YUCK How to drop lbs (while preserving muscle) This video is exactly what it sounds like. If you want your definition to POP, this is for you. Check out this insane video training here!

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....

The fitness world is flooded with conflicting advice, and I felt lost in a sea of options. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to work.

  Let’s face it, getting and staying fit and healthy is hard work.  There’s all the effort that you have to put out in making wholesome meals.  There’s the will power that you must muster in avoiding unhealthy (TASTY!) foods.  There’s the energy that it takes to get out of bed early to get in a workout before the day begins.  There’s the struggle to lace up your shoes at the end of a long day to head out and be active rather than diving into the comfort of the couch.  To be fit and healthy is to choose to do what’s hard, right now.   Because let’s face it, getting dinner from a drive thru is easier than making it at home. And eating whatever looks the most enticing is easier than saying no thank you.  And sleeping in is easier than getting up at the crack of dawn to exercise.  And settling into the couch at the end of your day is easier than moving your body through something active.  We are faced with these decisions all day, everyday. And they add up.  DO WHAT’S HARD <==

Cut back on this after 40+ (IF fat loss is your goal!) When we should be doing less of this, many women choose to increase it. In moderation it can be very healthy... But too much, and you'll sabotage the progress you've worked so hard to create! Plus, after 40 + this becomes much harder on our bodies and increases stress hormone production... Causing us to hold onto more fat stores. Which clearly works against the goals we have for ourselves. Left unchecked, this will keep setting you back even if you do everything else right... And eat at your energy levels, leaving you feeling constantly drained. To discover what this is and reduce or eliminate it from your routine...

 It happens to everyone. That moment when you realize that it’s time to do something about your weight. It may happen when you’re looking in the mirror or standing on the scale. Your first thought is to go on a ‘diet’ but as quickly as that enters your mind the ghosts of a hundred diets past return…along with all the frustration. Then you wonder, why bother? The weight will come back, as it always has. Then you’ll be back in front of the mirror as discouraged as ever. The answer is not to go on another diet.

Get Stronger, Live Better: The Power of Strength Training After 40 As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass, bone density, and metabolism, leading to decreased energy, mobility, and overall health. But it's not inevitable! Strength training is a game-changer for people over 40, helping to reverse these declines and improve overall well-being.

As a fitness expert, I often encounter questions about the effectiveness of cardio workouts for women over 40. It’s important to understand that while cardio is beneficial, it may not always be the most efficient way to achieve fitness goals for women in this age group. Here’s why: 1. Hormonal Changes Entering perimenopause and menopause brings hormonal fluctuations that can impact metabolism, body composition, and weight loss efforts. With estrogen levels on the decline, women may notice an increase in belly fat and water retention, accompanied by a slower metabolism. These changes can make traditional cardio workouts less effective. 2. Decreased Muscle Mass After the age of 40, it’s natural for women to experience a reduction in muscle mass, which in turn slows down metabolism. While cardio exercises such as running or cycling are great for calorie burning, they don’t significantly contribute to muscle building, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy metabolism. 3. Insulin Resi

  Unlock the Fountain of Youth with Strength Training As we gracefully enter our 30s and beyond, our bodies encounter a new challenge – the natural decline in muscle synthesis. This process accelerates during menopause, but there’s a powerful antidote: strength and resistance training . It’s not just about sculpting an enviable figure; it’s about fortifying your body’s defenses against injury and the ravages of time. Strategic Cardio for Fat Loss While cardio has its place, it’s a delicate dance. Excessive cardio can tip the scales, triggering inflammation and a surge in stress hormones like cortisol, which stubbornly cling to fat stores. The key is balance – a cardio routine that energizes without overwhelming your system. Embrace Fluidity with Mobility Work Stiffness isn’t just uncomfortable – it’s a barrier to your fitness potential. Enhance your resistance training with a dash of mobility work, dynamic stretching, and foam rolling. It’s like oiling the gears of your body, ensuring
