233| How to Know If You Are Actually Working Hard Enough in Your Workouts

If you've been showing up to every workout, staying consistent, and doing everything "right," but your body still looks the same... this episode is for you. I'm taking you back to 2018, sweating it out in the corner of my gym, hiding in the squat rack farthest from anyone who looked like they knew what they were doing. I thought I understood strength training for beginners. I was consistent. I was showing up. So why wasn't anything changing? Turns out, there was one piece of the puzzle I was missing completely, something that almost nobody talks about in group fitness classes or YouTube workouts. And once I figured it out, everything shifted. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact question I now ask myself (and my own clients, and even my daughter) at the end of every single set to know whether I'm actually working hard enough to make progress or just going through the motions and hoping for the best. If you've ever wondered whether your effort level is actually doing anything, or if you've hit a frustrating plateau and can't figure out why, you'll want to grab a notebook for this one. Let’s make sure your nutrition is working as hard as you are. -Rachel Next Steps: Free 100 Gram Protein Cheat Sheet  Book a Free Discovery Call or request an Instagram DM to learn about the Fat Loss Formula Coaching Program
