Shifting Your WEIGHT LOSS Focus: 4 Reasons Why Being FIT & STRONG is More Important Than Being SKINNY

from REDESIGNING MIDLIFE | Workout Motivation Over 50, Nutrition Facts, Health & Wellness, Fitness, Exercise Inspiration, Menopause Symptoms, Self-Care, Midlife Crisis · host Lesley McShane | Certified Personal Trainer & Accountability Coach | Pro-Aging / Midlife Enthusiast

Women often wrestle with body image, aspiring to be smaller and chasing the elusive ideal of "skinny." However, let's shift the focus. What truly matters is being fit and strong. Losing weight might seem like the goal, but let's reframe it – aim to shed fat and gain functional strength. Remember, skinny doesn't equate to healthy or strong. Research underscores that being fit enhances longevity, fending off muscle loss and even diabetes. Engaging in consistent cardio and resistance training not only transforms your body composition but also bolsters self-esteem. So, ask yourself, do you want to be skinny or embrace a journey of becoming fit, strong, and healthy as you age? It's time to redefine your midlife goals for a fulfilling future.Find me on my Website:https://www.lesleylmcshane.comQuestions?
