#24 - Performance vs Fat Loss: How to Know What Season You’re In
from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate
In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we break down performance vs fat loss — and how to know which one you should focus on right now. Many active women feel torn between wanting to improve performance and wanting to lose body fat. This episode explains why trying to pursue both at the same time often leads to frustration, stalled progress, and burnout — and how identifying your current season can bring clarity and relief. We talk about: the difference between performance-focused and fat-loss-focused seasons how nutrition, training, and recovery needs differ for each signs you’re forcing the wrong goal for your current capacity why seasonal focus leads to better long-term results how to shift goals without feeling like you’re quitting Rather than framing this as an all-or-nothing decision, this conversation encourages a seasonal approach — one that honors your body, your life demands, and your long-term health. If you’ve felt stuck trying to “do it all,” this episode will help you step back, assess what your body actually needs, and choose a direction that supports progress instead of pressure. You don’t need to chase everything at once to move forward. Sometimes the most powerful choice is knowing what to focus on now. 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 🔗 Resources & Links 📖 Read the full breakdown of this Podcast episode on my Substack 👉 [Read it Here] 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 📲 Learn More About Coaching Programs 👉 Inquire About Coaching Programs Here 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
