I received this DM the other day:
“Lee-Ann, I’m not sure what’s going on. Despite all of my best efforts, in the last year, it’s become a lot easier to gain a few pounds than to lose them and I don’t know what to do!”
Yep, it’s no secret that with age, comes change. Metabolism slow down is quite common, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept it!
Using my Metabolic Makeover #musclesandmoderation blueprint, we focus on lifting, moderating food and mindful movement to boost sluggish metabolisms once and for all!
Over the next several days, I’m going to provide you with ONE dial mover that you can implement every day!
Metabolism Makeover Dial Mover #1:
STRENGTH TRAIN AT LEAST 2X PER WEEK!
Look, once we hit 30, we lose muscle mass. By age 50, we may lose as much as 15lbs of muscle mass while gaining nearly the same amount in body fat.
How can we prevent muscle loss?
By lifting weights so that we can gain or at the very least, maintain our muscle!
