80. 2 BIG Reasons WHY You're not Getting Results

⁠Join Thrive!- Founding members can join today for just $17!⁠ We start Oct 1st!

I knoowwww how frustrating it can be to be working so hard in the gym and have very little to show for it. You feel like you’re doing all of the right things and nothing…

I created this episode specifically for you if you’re currently struggling to see some tangible results from your workouts. These two reasons can be a game-changer for your fitness progress moving forward, so be sure to tune in!

Time Stamps

Main Topic: Two Major Roadblocks to Progress in Lifting (04:49 - 15:43)

Lack of Progression (04:49 - 11:11)

So, let's get into the nitty-gritty. One of the biggest reasons you might not be seeing the results you want in your lifting sessions is the lack of progression.

Trust me; it doesn't have to be massive leaps. It's about making small improvements over time. Having a structured training plan can help you track this effectively.

Whether it's increasing weights, reps, or refining your form, it's all part of the progression game.

Inconsistency (11:11 - 15:43)

Now, the other major roadblock is inconsistency. Consistency is king in achieving your fitness goals.

If you're not consistently showing up at the gym, especially for strength or physique goals, you're unlikely to see the results you desire.

Be honest with yourself about your commitment to your goals.

Personal Experience and Closing (15:43 - 19:24)

Speaking from my own experience, consistency and progressive overload were game-changers. That's when I started seeing serious changes in my physique and strength.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this, so feel free to share them.

Closing Remarks (19:24 - End)

Thanks for tuning in!

If you want to take your training to the next level, consider joining my upcoming women 's-only lifting membership!

Don't miss out; you can find the registration link right here!

⁠Founding members can join today for just $17!⁠

Until next time, stay strong and keep lifting!

68. A Mindfulness Chat with Nipa Desai, LPC

I’m excited to share this mindfulness conversation I had with Licensed Professional Counselor and best friend of many years, Nipa Desai. Mental health plays a huge role in our holistic wellness and the conversation is very fitting for May, Mental Health Awareness Month.

Nipa’s goal as an LPC is to help her clients become the best versions of themselves by managing their emotions and living a values-driven life. She practices a holistic, strengths-based, and eclectic approach to mental health.

Nipa utilizes different treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) while individualizing interventions based on identity and cultural backgrounds.

During our convo, we discuss what mindfulness is, how it can help you process your thoughts and emotions, how mindfulness can lead to a more meaningful life, how to start using mindfulness today, and more.
Nipa just opened up a private virtual practice in Pennsylvania and is accepting new clients. She is also available for follow-up questions. Please visit her website at www.alignmindtherapy.com or email her directly at info@alignmindtherapy.com.

What it looks like to build a more sustainable approach to fitness that serves you for years to come
