🎙️Episode 122: Can You Actually Gain 5lbs of Muscle in a Month? feat. Laura Savino

from Fit Habit Life · host Emma Kirchner

Want the truth?You are probably not gaining 5lbs of muscle in a month.And honestly? That’s completely normal.In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow coach, Laura Savino, to break down what’s actually realistic when it comes to building muscle, improving body composition, and getting the “toned” look so many women are after.Because social media and bad coaching have a lot of people believing they can completely transform their physique in 8 weeks… and that’s just not how this works.In this episode, we break down:💪🏻 What realistic muscle gain actually looks like for men vs women📉 Why eating more doesn’t automatically mean more muscle🔥 The biggest mistakes people make during a muscle-building phase🏋🏻 Why training intensity and progressive overload matter more than you think⚠️ Why DEXA scans and InBody scans may be doing more harm than good🧠 The mindset shift women need to stop obsessing over the scale and start chasing body composition instead⏳ Why your dream physique may take years, not months, and why that’s okayIf you’ve ever felt frustrated because your body isn’t changing as fast as you think it “should,” this episode is for you.⚠️ Reminder: Sustainable results take time. The goal isn’t to rush the process, it’s to build a body that lasts.Connect with Laura:* Instagram: @laurajustinesavinoLoved this episode?
