This is going to improve your range of motion and build some baseline strength to prevent injury. Just like with the nutrition habits we build in our program, it takes time to see progress. It’s so important to trust the process and be consistent in order to see results. Even if you can’t literally see results, you’re doing an amazing thing for your muscles, bones, and metabolism! If you’re looking for a strength training program to follow, look for one that prioritizes frequency and has you working the same muscle group at least two times per week. This will help you build the skills of strength training more efficiently. Hi! I’m Illa (MS, RDN) and I am a Registered Dietitian who provides weight loss coaching for millennials.
