Does Strength Training Burn Fat?
Short answer. Not really. Fitness is a little more nuance than that. Strength training plays a role in promoting leanness, but not really through calories burn through the workout itself It is also often not marketed as a fat loss tool when we think of losing weight. Truthfully strength training doesn’t burn many calories. Strength training has a cellular effect that is important for fat loss and maintenance. When training is close to failure or working around your RPE 8-10 each time. Strength training depletes your glycogen stores in your muscles. This depletion is key because it primes your muscles … Continue reading Does Strength Training Burn Fat?

My postpartum journey 1 year later…
Oh! The mom guilts. It was literally shoved into me the day I pushed Freya out. It was like here is your baby but here is all the guilt you will experience for being a woman that birth a child. Mom guilt never ends as annoying as it is. The mom guilt kicks into full gear anytime and any moment you don’t want it to. You work too much, or you don’t work enough, you spend soo much time with your baby or you don’t spend enough time with your baby. It all soo minute. You can have it all, do it all and it still wouldn’t be enough because mom guilt isn’t even about that. Its psychological and the only way out is self-love, discipline and ignoring the negative talk.

Friendships
“You know someone’s special to you when… you don’t talk for a while because things get busy but when you two eventually do it’s like you didn’t miss a beat. You talk like there was no gap in between and you laugh until both your stomachs hurt. It’s a rare and special connection and personally I think it’s pure magic. If you ever find someone like this in your life, never let them go.”
thank you for being here, friend. Continue reading Friendships
