134. Building a Body You Love: How I Create Effective Workout Programming

I’m excited to talk with you all about how I set up my own personal training programming in today’s episode! There are plenty of ways to set up your workouts each week, and there’s really no right or wrong answer in regards to how they should be. I’ve had quite the journey with my workouts over the years. From being an avid runner to doing only Beachbody workouts, to then finding weightlifting and falling in love with that, I’ve tried a little bit of everything! I’ve grown to love workouts that are full body focused (i.e. compound movements), and so do the ladies I work with! I enjoy getting to create full body and accessory workouts for myself and my Fit Club ladies that are both fun AND effective. While accessory-style workouts (isolation movements) are very beneficial, I’ve found that full body workouts tend to give you more ‘bang for your buck’ overall. You can totally do 3-4 workouts/week and build a body that you love. But..you’ve got to be doing the RIGHT kind of workouts + lifting heavy enough to do so! Whether you’ve been working out for years like me, or you’re just getting started with exercise, I hope you find this episode valuable as you navigate your fitness journey! In today’s episode, we cover: My personal journey with workouts + how that’s changed over time My decision to really shift my workouts & programming a few years ago + what that looks like now Compound movement examples + the awesome benefits of doing these My current workout programming with both compound and isolation movements How I’m able to make my Fit Club membership effective Why full body workouts tend to yield better results Paying attention to soreness and how your body recovers after workouts + why enjoying your workouts & getting results matters How to work with me: FIT CLUB is a monthly membership with workouts designed to take the guesswork out of your fitness routine + get you the body you want.
