It’s reassuring to hear that my feeling fried and needing a week off every 4-6 weeks is because I am actually pushing myself hard enough! Just waiting patiently to see those results!

This was such an amazing video! I loved so many points that you made, especially in the area of trying to lose fat and build/retain muscle and the different aspects you need to think about when doing so.<br><br>I just found you not too long ago, and I have been watching a lot of your videos in the last week.<br>Been really resonating with you!

WOW! Thanks so much for these non negotiables! Ive been chipping away over the last 18 months with weightloss/muscle build and have hit a plateau since january this year, havent lost weight, of looking soft even tho I feel stronger. I dont have a big income, Im also studying uni part time and my work is very casual so I cant commit to a coach or a gym so have adapted various moves to objects/hills in my local environment. The main thing that hit me here is cycling macros! Wouldnt have a clue but saving this video so I can come back to it. I do have various injuries in various states of wellness so I am constantly having to adapt to my ability on any given day. I feel like you just opened a secret door for me for me to move forward and progress with my fitness!

For me it’s just hard to know how to properly fuel myself annnd cook for my picky kids. I know they need good nutrition too, it’s just hard to get them to eat right.

I'll be 50 next March, I've been slacking these last few years since I was laid off from the Auto industry on top of the whole perimenopause thing I'm going through. Right now I'm at 25% BMI starting HRT and finally counting my macros and changing my workouts

Your non-negociable on hitting your macros got me reasearching caause all I was doing was making sure I exercised everday. I've been eating hardly nothing but protein. Thank you for the simple plan. Too many gimacks out there.

Thank you Cori ! This video is my guideline for sure. I am 64 post menopause with more than 15 years of doing workouts with bad strategies , doing functional and pilates for years not knowing about the real strength traing until 2 years ago . Since then I've been putting up 2 kg of muscles and going from %35 of body fat to %29 with the BMI 21,5 and 160cm hight and 55 kg weight. I have been trying to build at least 2kg more muscles and losing just 3 percent of body fat but I've been stucking on the same situation nothing seems to be changed since then ,I think this video is just made for me I am going to take each and every single advice you mentioned in this video for the changes that I've been waiting for , thank you so much for the informations, and If there is anything I should know please tell me❤

Thank you for giving us us these guide lines, it's very helpful. But could you develop more on the different types of workout sessions. Like how to make a workout more metabolic. Does it mean like a circuit workout with less rest? Could you take an upper body or a lower body workout and show how you would modify it to make it more a muscle building workout or metabolic workout. That would be really great. Thanks again Cori
