The cardio brainwashing! “If I only wake up @6am and run for an hour I’ll get my desired results!” Ugh the lies!!

lol- "Random workouts get you random results... for real." PREACH! I've hit all these mistakes too and only in the past year or so have realized that following random IG workouts wasn't going to get me the results I wanted for myself, even with all the 'target' videos for building muscle.

this is such amazing insight. you seriously have cleared up some life-long confusions of mine since i discovered your channel yesterday. and i’ve re-clarified my goals and what to do next. thank you 🙏🏻

I found you last night and I couldn’t be more excited!!

You helped me so much with this video!! Thank you so much

Those calculators for weight for petite women are terrible!! Those say I should be 105 (I am 5’) when I was 112 I looked sick my family was worried. I now lift weights and do Hiit. I have a lot more muscle and weigh 132 now. At my healthiest.

Quite on point💯 thanks. Im thinking of starting to work out and change my habits. This helped

I made most of these mistakes in the past 2 years!!! I feel seen. Thank you! 💯

YOU deserve the hype😩

Great content!!! I really Love your passion to share. More power to your inspiring lifestyle and YTC!!!

Thank you! Be well

So happy I came across your channel! I’m also 5’1 and have lost 19 pounds so far. I still would like to lose a little more fat but have a toned look. It’s been hard to know how to overcome some of my specific obstacles bc I do feel my body is different from a taller person. Glad to find out that my hunch was right and that there’s a channel out here for little people like us! 😭 thank you ! ♥️

Omg, I’m bingeing your videos and you saying that cardio burns your muscle is new to me! What?!? I don’t want that! I’m upping my weight training days.

I know we should focus more on strength training, but I think cardio sometimes is important for heart health and just having good cardiovascular strength and endurance. How often should we do cardio and what kind?

@joeleenbrogan3772

Cardio two to three times a week and strength training three times a week and a day's rest works for me . Depends on your goals and fitness level

I needed this video 6 months ago. I went through all of these.

Hey! Just found your channel and you really deserve more subscribers! I have a question as I am a petite woman, I'm 5'0 and currently weigh 109 pounds. I recently lost about 15 pounds which I'm really happy with, but now that I'm down to my ideal weight, I have that "skinny fat" look because there is still not a lot of muscle although my bmi is fine. I guess my question is, I know that lifting would be the solution but being petite, I am so africa of looking short and bulky instead of more lean and tall, does that make sense? I would love your advice!

if we don’t have the $ to do petite power at the time how do we pick your IG workouts in a way that is progressive and not “random” bc i typically just pick a random workout from your page per day. is that wrong?

Is there any video dedicated to macros for petite women?

Hi, I have alwats been skiny fat I am 5"2 do you vedio where you actually show your workouts for ppl who can't do gyms. Thanks.

How much cardio (time wise) should you do daily???

tysm

April u are so sweet. I like your videos. You’re a good friend

What about just walking if your like 20 lbs over what u wanna be

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

if I am trying to lose 40lbs of fat, should I include more cardio and not do soley weights. Bc I have been doing mostly strength training and have seen progress in my body and staying strong but the scale has barely moved and I have been on this journey since June of this year. I started at 178lbs at 5'1". and currently November i weighed myself for the first time and weigh 172lbs. I know I have lost fat, i can see it, but am I wrong to only do strenghth training? will I still lean out and see numbers decrease if I keep going?

Nutrition will make up about 85% of your weight loss goals - I'd start there before adding in tons of cardio!

Smalletics I know this is a few months old, but question to this is, we shouldn’t eat less calories, but you mean the kind of things we eat should change right? Like have more nutritious food?

@@84rinne_moo there should be a calorie deficit, plus nutricious food.. not junk or processed.. but yes not extreme calorie deficit. Like dont go below 1400 or 1500.

I've learned a lot of the same points that you talk about from my personal experience over the years. I agree with the the philosophy, but my confusion comes from how you discuss random workouts. I think it's possible for there to be individuals out there who have gained knowledge, information, and wisdom through experience, meaning they've discovered the ways to eat wholesome and really understand what that looks like. Times have changed, so you have more information that's accessible. It may be easy to steer people towards specific programs that they should follow, prescribe to, and pay for. But there are dynamic people whom are all different. We see these people share their input like you via KZread or any other online source. The way to learn is to learn from mistakes and challenges as you have, and a good way to do it is to continue to remain curious, figuring things out, and remaining disciplined; instead of following something that's created. Maybe you have videos about this already, but what is your take on how individuals can learn to follow and create their program based on the knowledge and information they have. You say there is a science to all this, in which there definitely is. There are certain actions you take based on the the science and information. For example (one that you mention), if you know that strength training is something you do to get muscles and sustain your overall health and fitness goals, then you will incorporate that into your routine as you stated. If you follow the science, why is it that you are doing a random workout. People may choose to either go to the gym, or to do home workouts. Learning the proper way to do these excersises, whether it's related to form and doing them correctly and how to be effective is important. It's also whats being done and said in KZread videos to help people. How have you transitioned from what you are calling random workouts to a program. I get that it's random if you don't have the information and you dont know why you are doing the excersises you are doing and why and how you should be eating.

Actually building muscle will help you lose body fat. So you can start slowly and increase the weight once you feel more confortable.
