197| 3 Reasons Why I Used To Run Half-Marathons And Still Looked Exactly The Same

from Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Workout Routines, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Habits, Fat Loss · host Rachel DeSonier | Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, Fat Loss Coach, Mom of 5

If you've been running to lose weight but the scale won't budge, this episode is for you. I used to run multiple half marathons - logging 3-4 runs per week with 7+ mile weekend runs - and my body looked exactly the same. In today's episode I'm sharing 3 key reasons why I didn't lose weight with running.  And if you are a mom trying to lose weight, I also share about a better approach: strength training. When you lift weights, your body adapts by building muscle - which burns calories 24/7, not just during your workout. This creates sustainable fat loss at a higher calorie level, so you're not starving yourself. In my Fat Loss Formula for Moms program, we focus on resistance training that actually changes your body composition while fitting into your busy life. If you're tired of the cardio hamster wheel and ready to feel strong again, book a free discovery call with me. -Rachel Next Steps: Book a free discovery call Follow me on Instagram: @effectivefitnessforwomen Join my free Facebook community
