Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re talking about why strength training deserves a spot in your routine even more during the busy holiday season- and why doing less can actually be the smartest strategy right now. If December has you thinking, “If I can’t get all my workouts in, what’s the point?” this episode is for you. Casey breaks down why protecting muscle and momentum matters more than chasing perfection, especially for women over 40. You’ll learn why committing to just two short strength workouts can help maintain muscle, support metabolism, and make January feel like a continuation-not a restart. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why women tend to skip strength training in December How muscle supports fat loss, energy, and confidence after 40 Why 2 workouts is better than aiming for 3–4 and quitting What short, effective strength sessions can look like The mindset shift that keeps momentum going through the holidays December isn’t about pushing harder- it’s about staying connected to your strength.

Welcome to Day 5 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re tackling one of the most common holiday struggles for women over 40: treat overload and decision fatigue. This episode isn’t about cutting out sweets or “being good.” It’s about choosing intentionally . When treats are everywhere, having a plan for what’s actually worth it helps you enjoy the holidays without guilt, mindless snacking, or the all-or-nothing spiral. In this short episode, Casey explains how picking a simple “treat budget” can help you feel more in control, enjoy the foods you love, and move through the season feeling confident instead of frustrated. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why holiday treats feel so overwhelming What a treat budget really means (and what it doesn’t) How to enjoy the foods you love without overdoing it The mindset shift that removes guilt and regret You don’t need to say yes to everything. You get to choose what truly matters.

Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re talking about one of the most practical tools you can use during the holidays: the 80/20 holiday plate. This approach helps you enjoy seasonal foods while still supporting your energy, digestion, and goals - without tracking, measuring, or restricting. By prioritizing protein and fruits/veggies first, you naturally feel more satisfied and less likely to overeat or spiral into all-or-nothing thinking. In this short episode, Casey explains how to use the 80/20 plate at holiday dinners, parties, and even with leftovers - making it a realistic strategy for real life. In this episode: What the 80/20 holiday plate actually looks like Why it works for women over 40 How to apply it at any meal or event The mindset shift that removes guilt around holiday eating Simple. Flexible. Sustainable.

Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re focusing on one of the simplest habits you can use to reduce stress, boost energy, and improve consistency during the holiday season: walk before you scroll. Before the emails, the notifications, and the morning chaos, giving your body just a few minutes of movement can completely change the tone of your day. This episode breaks down why morning movement matters-especially for women over 40-and how even a short walk can help improve mood, focus, and appetite regulation. This isn’t about adding another workout to your schedule. It’s about starting your day with intention instead of overwhelm. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why scrolling first thing in the morning increases stress How a short walk supports energy and mindset Simple ways to make morning movement realistic How this habit helps you make better choices all day long Five minutes. No pressure. Big impact.

Welcome back to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Fit-mas mini-series! Today we’re talking about the simplest nutrition shift that makes every holiday meal, party, and treat feel easier to navigate: protein first, treats second. This isn’t about restriction. It’s about strategy. When you lead with protein, you naturally stabilize hunger, reduce cravings, support muscle, and make it far easier to enjoy holiday treats without overeating or spiraling into the all-or-nothing mindset. In this short episode, Casey breaks down why women over 40 benefit so much from this approach, how to make it practical during a busy season, and how this one tiny rule can help you feel more in control of your choices- without giving up the foods you love. In this episode: Why protein is especially important during the holiday season How protein helps curb cravings and stabilize energy Real-life protein ideas you can use before meals or events The mindset shift that lets you enjoy treats guilt-free A small shift in the order you eat can create a big shift in how you feel. Tune in for Day 2- and get ready for more simple, doable steps all season long.

In today’s episode, Casey shares a powerful line she heard while out on a walk- one that stopped her in her tracks: “I cannot call in the next level of woman while still whispering to the one that I already outgrew.” If you’ve ever felt torn between who you’ve been and who you’re trying to become, this message will land deeply. As we move into a new year, this is the perfect time to look at the identities, stories, and habits we’ve been carrying… and decide which ones no longer fit the woman we want to step into. In this episode, Casey explores why so many women over 40 hold onto versions of themselves that they’ve already outgrown- and how this keeps them stuck, small, and disconnected from their goals. You’ll learn how to identify what you need to release, what your next-level identity actually looks like, and how to step into a future that aligns with the strongest, healthiest version of you. Inside this episode: Why identity drives every habit, choice, and result How old stories keep you from becoming the woman you want to be What it means to “whisper” to outdated versions of yourself The mindset shift required to step into your next level A simple reflection exercise to help you let go + move forward with intention If you're craving growth, clarity, and a fresh start- this episode will help you walk into the new year with intention instead of hesitation.

Injuries, flare-ups, and physical setbacks happen to every woman- especially in our 40s and beyond. But the real challenge isn’t the injury itself… it’s the mental spiral that can follow. In today’s episode, Casey breaks down how to stay connected to your health goals even when you can’t train the way you want to. You’ll learn how to modify your workouts, protect your mindset, stay engaged with healthy habits, and avoid the all-or-nothing thinking that derails so many women during a setback. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, “behind,” or worried you’re losing progress- this episode will help you reset, refocus, and keep momentum in a way that honors your body. You’ll learn: How to approach injuries without panic or guilt What to do instead of quitting when you can’t do your full workouts Smart modifications to keep you moving safely The habits that matter most during recovery (and YES- progress can still happen!) How to return to workouts with confidence once your body is ready Why staying connected to the Inspire community matters more than ever during a setback A setback doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means your body is asking for a different kind of support- and you’re strong enough to give it. Tune in, take a breath, and remember: you can come back stronger than before.

Today’s episode is one so many women over 40 will relate to - because pelvic floor issues are far more common than anyone talks about. I’m sitting down with one of my incredible clients, Jill , to talk openly about her pelvic floor journey: the frustrations, the fear, the awkwardness, the rehab… and ultimately, the strength and confidence she’s rebuilt along the way. Jill shares: When she first noticed pelvic floor symptoms and how they affected her workouts The movements that felt off-limits before treatment What finally pushed her to see a pelvic floor physical therapist The surprising things she learned about her body How she’s safely reintroduced strength training and rebuilt trust in her core The mental side - the frustration, the fear, and the confidence that followed We also talk about what she wishes every woman knew about pelvic floor issues, and how normal (and fixable!) they often are. This is a real, honest conversation - not medical advice - meant to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and help women recognize they’re not alone. Whether you’re dealing with leaking, pressure, fear around lifting, or you’re just curious about pelvic floor health, this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and hopeful. If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?” - this one’s for you.

Today we’re breaking down the two concepts that completely transform results for women over 40: RPE and progressive overload.

Today we’re talking about one of the biggest predictors of fitness success for women over 40… community. Inspired by one of my favorite James Clear quotes - “One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is normal” - this episode explores why the people you surround yourself with matter just as much as the workouts you do. Inside Inspire Fitness, hundreds of women show up for themselves every day. Different ages, different lifestyles, different responsibilities… but the same mission: to be strong, confident, and healthy. And when you plug into a community where prioritizing your fitness is the norm, consistency stops feeling so hard. You feel supported. You feel encouraged. You realize you’re not alone. In this conversation, I’m breaking down why community accelerates your progress, why engagement matters (yes, even posting that sweaty selfie!), and why the holiday season is the worst time to go it alone. If you’re craving accountability, motivation, and a group of women who will lift you higher- in every way I’d love to welcome you into the Holiday Bootcamp . Workouts begin Monday and the community opens Friday… and trust me, being surrounded by women who are moving with you will change everything. Let’s talk about the power of showing up together. “You become the strongest version of yourself when you surround yourself with people who lift you higher.” Unknown If you are new here, I welcome you to join us in the Holiday Bootcamp!

Halloween isn’t just candy and costumes- it’s the gateway to the most challenging two months of the year for your fitness and nutrition goals. For so many women, this is the time when routines start slipping… workouts get skipped… and that little voice says, “I’ll get back on track in January.” But what if this year was different? In today’s episode, Casey talks about how to navigate the next 60 days without losing progress (or your sanity). You’ll learn why the “all-or-nothing” mindset is the biggest holiday trap, and how small, consistent actions can keep you feeling strong, confident, and in control all season long.

We’ve all had those days - the ones that don’t go as planned, when hormones, headaches, and life throw curveballs and your workout feels impossible to squeeze in. In today’s episode, Casey shares a real-life story about how a 15-minute walk/run turned into a powerful reminder that something is always better than nothing.

We all have that one thing we’ve been putting off - the email we need to send, the workout we keep skipping, or the meal prep we said we’d start “tomorrow.” In this episode, Casey shares a personal story about finally tackling a task she’d been avoiding for weeks - and how it instantly created momentum, energy, and clarity for the rest of her day.

This week, I’m getting personal. Back in January, I made a commitment to get outside for a walk every single day in the month of January- even through Michigan’s cold, dark and generally unenjoyable winter. What started as a month long challenge quickly turned into an almost year long habit… and eventually, part of my identity. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about discipline, discomfort, and how real change happens - not overnight, but through small, consistent actions that reshape who we become. Whether you’re working on your fitness, nutrition, or mindset, this one will remind you that the hardest part is starting -but the most rewarding part is who you become when you keep going.

Why is it so hard to rest - even when we know we need it? In this episode, Casey gets real about the struggle so many women over 40 face when it comes to slowing down. We’ve been conditioned to go, do, and achieve - but in fitness (and in life), constant motion without recovery can stall progress, increase fatigue, and mess with our hormones. As the Inspire Fitness community moves into Deload Week , Casey explains why lighter weights, fewer reps, and lower intensity aren’t setbacks - they’re strategic tools for long-term strength, energy, and results. If rest makes you feel restless, this episode will help you reframe it as the most powerful part of your training plan. Because sometimes, doing less is exactly what helps you come back stronger. 💪 Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Ever wondered if you’re pushing hard enough in your workouts- or maybe too hard? The answer might be hiding in your heart rate. In this episode, we’re breaking down heart rate training zones and what they mean for cardio, HIIT, and strength training, especially for women in midlife. You’ll learn: Why heart rate is more than just a number on your watch The difference between training with % of max heart rate vs. Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) How to calculate your own HRR for personalized zones What heart rate typically looks like in strength training (hint: it’s not about staying in a zone!) Quick HRR Example: For a 45-year-old woman with a resting heart rate of 65: Max HR ≈ 220 – 45 = 175 BPM HRR = 175 – 65 = 110 Zone 2 (60–70%) = (110 × 0.60) + 65 → 131 BPM up to (110 × 0.70) + 65 → 142 BPM So instead of a wide guess (105–123 BPM), her true Zone 2 range is 131–142 BPM . Heart Rate Zones (% of Max HR): Zone 1 (50–60%) : Easy effort, recovery walks Zone 2 (60–70%) : Brisk walk, steady cycling; best for fat metabolism & endurance Zone 3 (70–80%) : Moderate cardio; jogging, dance fitness Zone 4 (80–90%) : Hard effort; sprints, hill repeats Zone 5 (90–100%) : All-out bursts; short HIIT intervals By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to use your heart rate as a tool- not a guess, so you can get the most out of every workout without burning out. 🎧 Tune in and find your sweet spot.

Tune in for: The 3 things to focus on today (hint: none involve cutting carbs) A quick mindset shift to break the “start over” cycle Why progress is built on what you do most of the time- not perfectly Let’s reset together- grace first, then structure.

Feeling stuck, tired, or like your progress has stalled? You might just be in the messy middle, and that’s exactly where change really happens. In this episode, Casey shares a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic renovation project she and her husband just took on - and how it mirrors what so many of us experience in our fitness journey. From broken cabinets and cracked walls to overwhelming to-do lists, she gets real about what it means to keep going when progress is hard to see. You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset shift, practical encouragement, and a reminder that showing up imperfectly is still showing up. This one’s for you if you’re in a season of “will this ever get easier?” - because spoiler: it will.

If you are going on vacation soon or travel often for work - you don’t have to set your fat loss goals aside completely. Take a listen to my 6 tips for staying on track with your fat loss goals while you are away. 1. Move your body every single day. This doesn’t mean you have to stick with your normal routine 100% or keep the intensity level as high as normal, but try to build movement into your day as much as possible. Take a morning walk, rent bikes for an afternoon, or spend some time moving in the pool! If you have access to a fitness facility, and you have the time, try to get in at least one solid lift while you are away. 2. Fuel up on protein early in the day. Vacations are often a time for dining out & indulging on food & drinks you may not have in your typical day. Try to keep your first meal high in protein. This will keep you feeling full & craving less as the day goes on. 3. Drink your water! Make a conscious effort to drink more water. At least 80-100 oz per day is a good target, drink more if you are in a warm climate & are sweating! 4. Set limits on alcohol and try to stick to low calorie options. No doubt you will be kicking up your feet & probably drinking a little more than during your typical routine. But alcohol calories add up fast & drinking too much can be a slippery slope- it often leads to poor food choices too. Set a limit on drinks or a number of days that you will drink. When you do drink, choose lower calorie options such as liquor with low cal mixers or light beers. Keep indulgent drinks like daquirs and margaritas to a minimum! 5. Food portions at restaurants can be HUGE! Be mindful of your portions. Enjoy some indulgent foods, but eat them slowly & savor them. Try to share an entree with someone or take half home. 6. Finally- set realistic expectations. You have been working hard on your fat loss goals, it's okay to enjoy your time away & not feel the need to be 100% on. You won’t undo months of progress in just a week- if you are mindful & intentional -AKA- don’t eat like an A$$hole! Also, do yourself a favor & just stay off the scale for a solid week once you are home. Travel brings about a lot of fluid retention & you don’t need to see the number jump a few pounds due to those fluctuations.

A vacation is meant to be enjoyed, not stressed over. Here’s what I was NOT doing to ‘get ready’ for my spring break trip, because extreme measures aren’t the answer! And while my body is not "perfect", it doesn't need to be "fixed". 1️⃣ Drastically slashing calories or cutting out entire food groups 🚫 No starving myself or doing extreme low-carb, low-fat, or “only eating salads” plans. ✅ Instead: I’ll continue fueling my body well, eating balanced meals with protein, fiber, & healthy fats. 2️⃣ Doubling up on workouts or doing endless cardio 🚫 No “two-a-day” workouts or marathon cardio sessions to “burn off” food. ✅ Instead: I’ll stick to my normal strength training routine and prioritize daily movement and my outdoor walks- because consistency matters more than last-minute effort. 3️⃣ Drinking detox teas, juice cleanses, or ‘quick fix’ supplements 🚫 No gimmicks, no laxative teas, and no overpriced “detox” drinks. Gross. ✅ Instead: I’ll drink water, eat fiber, and let my body do its own detoxing (that’s what my liver and kidneys are for!). 4️⃣ Eliminating all my favorite foods or feeling guilty for eating treats 🚫 No labeling foods as “bad” or trying to be “perfect” before vacation. ✅ Instead: I’ll enjoy all foods in moderation & focus on protein and fiber so I feel my best. 5️⃣ Weighing myself daily and stressing over the scale 🚫 No obsessing over numbers or trying to hit an arbitrary weight before vacation. ✅ Instead: I’ll focus on how I feel, my energy, and staying strong, because my worth isn’t tied to a number. 6️⃣ Hyper-focusing on ‘swimsuit body’ pressure 🚫 No body shaming, comparing myself to influencers, or feeling like I need to “earn” my vacation. ✅ Instead: I’ll appreciate what my body can do, wear the swimsuit, & enjoy my trip!

The scale lies! Weight fluctuations can be so frustrating. The scale should NOT be your only measure of progress when working towards fat loss.

If you want to know my option on “cheat days” here it is…. I think they are silly. Here is why. Cheat days indicate you are doing something wrong. “Cheating” on your “diet”. How dare you?! It insinuates you “eating bad” or “are bad” when you eat certain foods, and I really don’t like calling foods, let alone people, “good” or “bad”. If your “diet” is so restrictive that you have to plan certain days to eat foods you enjoy then your diet is too restrictive. You will not only fail to stay on it long term, you will fail to keep off any of the weight you are losing. I much prefer to encourage my clients to work in “treats” into their meal plan. We talk about portions & frequency and I help them lose the guilt when they eat foods that aren’t classified as “healthy”. We focus on consistency over time and we forget about eating “perfect”. Working in treats from time to time and feeling like there are no foods that are off limits helps with long term sustainability. Sure you can probably drop more weight quickly on a rigid plan, but again if you can’t stick to it long term, what’s the freaking point?! If you need help finding balance in you nutrition, I can help. Join us in Inspire Nutrition.

Inspire Health & Wellness was started with just a little idea in my head with the goal to help individuals become better versions of themselves. Social media has allowed the program to reach thousands of women from all corners of the United States & internationally. Women in the Inspire Fitness program have a way to connect with me & others who are working towards similar goals. They have the convenience of working out AT HOME with some basic equipment and they see some pretty great results- better fitting clothes, improved muscle definition, feeling stronger, more energy, weight loss... Inspire Fitness has grown into something that I never could have dreamed of. Currently we have just over 700 members. While we aren’t “in person”, we workout “together”. We also share struggles, challenges & successes that help us connect & feel supported. Today I reflect on how far the Inspire Fitness program has come, and I am grateful to be sharing the next few days with my clients at the Inspire VIP Event in Savannah, GA.

Eating enough protein at each meal, including lunch, will help your fat loss efforts. To ensure you are eating enough protein daily - try this equation 1.6 - 2.2 g protein/kg (goal) body weight. This is a general recommendation. Individual needs vary. Take a listen to 4 different lunch options to help you hit 40 g protein at your lunch meal.

It is SO EASY to underestimate how many calories you consume. And some foods, even “healthy” options are more calorie dense - these foods pack a lot of calories into a small volume, making them easy to overeat. Here are some common culprits: Nuts & Nut Butters Cheese Avocados Granola & Trail Mix Dried Fruit Oils & Dressings Restaurant & Fast Food Meals Chips & Crackers Coffee Shop Drinks & Smoothies Protein Bars & "Health" Snacks Bottom line- Log your food. Measure it out. You might be surprised! AND more successful with your fat loss efforts.

Too many women overthink the perfect diet or workout plan and end up doing nothing. Fat loss happens through consistent, imperfect effort. And overthinking it will likely have you never getting started. You don’t have to have everything dialed in before you start. Just focus on one thing, like adding protein to your meals or strength training twice a week. The “perfect” time will never come, and small, messy steps still move you forward. Go take messy action today, whether it’s hitting a workout, making a protein-packed meal, or just moving your body more. Just like my gym wall, you can always adjust later! "Start where you are.

I recently traveled to the Dominican Republic on a 4 day get-away. I used the gym at the resort & observed women working out with weights. There were 3 mistakes that jumped out at me: 1.

Mobility exercises are movements that help your body move more freely and easily. They focus on improving your joints’ range of motion and how well your muscles work together during movement. Unlike stretching, which focuses mainly on lengthening a muscle, mobility exercises also work on strength and control in those movements. These exercises make daily activities, workouts, and even walking feel smoother and less stiff, while reducing the risk of injury. • Examples : Think of things like rotating your shoulders, bending and twisting your spine, or shifting your hips to loosen them up.” Mobility exercises are important for women over age 40. They have many benefits including: Improved Joint Health Enhanced Strength Training Performance Injury Prevention Faster Recover Improved Functional Fitness "Shift the focus from what your body looks like to what it can do."

I often get asked for specific exercises to help women spot reduce fat from their problem areas. I wish I had a magic wand to help them do this! The truth is- there is no magic wand! You can't spot reduce. Fat loss in these areas requires systemic fat loss which requires a calorie reduction. Fat loss is aided by lifting weights consistently & consuming adequate protein.

Set the tone for an amazing week ahead by committing to small, intentional actions that bring you closer to your goals. What will YOU commit to this week? Take a moment to reflect on your goals, whether they’re fitness, nutrition, mindset, or personal development, and think about what you can do in the next 7 days to move the needle forward. Here’s how to make your intentions count: Make Them SMART ✔️ Specific : Clearly define what you’re going to do. (e.g., “I will drink 8 glasses of water daily” instead of “I’ll drink more water.”) ✔️ Measurable : How will you track your progress? (e.g., Write down your daily steps or meals in a journal.) ✔️ Attainable & Action-Based : Focus on actions you can realistically take. (e.g., “I’ll do 3 strength workouts this week” instead of “I’ll lose 5 pounds.”) ✔️ Realistic : Be honest about what fits into your lifestyle. (e.g., A 10-minute workout is better than none at all.) ✔️ Time-Bound : Set a deadline—this week! (e.g., “I’ll complete my workouts by Saturday.”) "Focus on the BEHAVIORS, the RESULTS will come."

Six years ago (on January 1, 2019!), I started Inspire Health & Wellness with a Facebook page & a flyer. As I reflect on the past 6 years I am grateful that the 38 year old version of myself took messy action & just got started. If you have been contemplating change, remember that it is okay if it feels scary. But waiting won't make it feel any less scary. The step you take today is worth the uncomfortable feeling you have.

I have been mindful & intentional with my alcohol consumption more so as I have gotten older, & the benefits I experience from being alcohol free are pretty incredible.

Motivation is an internal drive or desire that pushes us toward achieving a goal. It's a FEELING! Motivation is highly unreliable because of this. Motivation will fade, and while it can be helpful initially, one does not need consistent motivation to be successful long term. Discipline, however, is the quality of being able to behave and work in a way which involves rules or standards. Discipline is created over time with structure, routine & habits. It is necessary for long term success.

There are many benefits to being an early morning workout person.

NEAT is Non-exercise activity thermogenesis. It essentially means the energy that your body expends in all activities that does not include sleeping, eating or formal exercise. NEAT may account for 15-30% of your total calorie expenditure. Increasing NEAT will help you burn more calories & increase your fat loss results. I review suggestions on how to increase your NEAT.

When starting a new fitness routine it is common to have sore muscles. You can minimize muscle soreness by using the following strategies: Start Slowly and Gradually Increase Intensity: Begin with lighter weights or less intense workouts. Gradually increase the intensity, duration, or weight to give your muscles time to adapt. Warm-Up Properly: A good warm-up can help your muscles prepare for the workout. It can increase blood flow and flexibility. Cool Down and Stretch Post-Workout: After exercising, take time to cool down with light aerobic activity and stretch the muscles you used. This can help reduce muscle stiffness and soreness. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout. Use Proper Form: Make sure you're using the correct technique and posture during exercises. Poor form can increase the risk of injury and cause unnecessary strain on your muscles. Incorporate Active Recovery: Light activities like walking, swimming, or yoga can increase blood flow and help alleviate muscle soreness without putting additional strain on your muscles. Consider Foam Rolling: Using a foam roller or other massage techniques can help to reduce muscle tightness, increase blood flow, and minimize soreness. Get Adequate Rest: Ensure you're getting enough sleep and allowing your muscles time to recover between intense workouts. Rest is crucial for muscle repair and growth. Use Ice or Heat Therapy: Applying ice can reduce inflammation right after a workout, while heat therapy (like a warm bath) can increase blood flow and help relieve sore muscles. Fuel Your Body Well: Proper nutrition, especially adequate protein intake, helps repair muscle fibers. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can also help reduce soreness. Listen to Your Body: If you're extremely sore, it might be a sign to take a day off or focus on less intense activities. Overtraining can lead to more soreness and increase the risk of injury. These strategies can help you manage muscle soreness & improve your overall workout experience. Some soreness is normal and can be a sign that your muscles are adapting and getting stronger.

Protein is a key nutrient for women over age 40 who are trying to lose fat. If you are eating 2 eggs at breakfast, that isn't enough. Eating sufficient protein during your fat loss journey will help you maintain your lean muscle mass as you lose fat. It will also help you stay more full & satisfied. Eating sufficient protein also helps you burn more calories through the Thermogenic Effect of Food. You can use the formula below to estimate your protein needs: 1.6 - 2.4 g protein/kg body weight; OR roughly 1 g per pound of body weight. For women who have a lot of weight to lose, using goal weight for these estimates is ideal. “Every action you take is a vote for the person you want to become.” James Clear Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d Click here for services: https://inspirehw.com/ Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Rest days are crucial in a training for women over age 40 for several reasons: 1. Muscle Recovery- Exercise causes micro-tears in muscle fibers. Rest allows these fibers to repair and grow stronger. 2. Prevention of Injury- Continuous training without rest increases the risk of overuse injuries, such as stress fractures, tendonitis, and joint pain. 3. Mental Break- Rest days help prevent burnout, keeping the mind fresh and motivated. 4. Hormonal Balance- Overtraining can disrupt hormone levels, leading to fatigue, poor sleep, and mood swings. 5. Performance Improvement- Adequate rest can enhance overall performance by allowing the body to fully recover and adapt to the training stimuli. General Rest Day Recommendations: Take at least one to two full rest days every 7-10 days. These can include light activities such as walking, stretching, or yoga. Listen to your body! Pay attention to signs of overtraining, such as prolonged muscle soreness, fatigue, or decreased performance, and adjust rest days accordingly.

When motivation wanes for working out or sticking to dietary strategies for fat loss, try these approaches: Revisit Your Why- Remind yourself why you started. Reflecting on your reasons can reignite your motivation. Set Realistic Goals- Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable milestones to maintain a sense of accomplishment. Find Enjoyable Activities- Choose exercises and healthy foods you enjoy to make the process more pleasant. Create a Routine- Establish a consistent schedule for workouts and meal planning to build discipline. And work at making the routine a part of your identity. Accountability- Partner with a friend, join a class, or hire a coach (ME!) to keep you accountable and provide support. Track Progress- Keep a journal or use an app to log workouts and meals. Seeing progress can boost motivation. Reward Yourself- Treat yourself to non-food rewards for meeting your goals, such as new workout gear or a massage. Visualize Success- Imagine how reaching your goals will feel and look. This can provide a motivational boost. Give Yourself Some Grace- Recognize that everyone has off days. Don't be too hard on yourself, and get back on track the next day. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection! Maintaining motivation is a common challenge, but with these strategies, you can find ways to stay on track with your fitness and dietary goals. Don't Lose Your FIRE!

Losing fat is different than just losing weight. Weight loss happens when you eat fewer calories than your body needs. Just focusing on weight loss is not ideal for several reason: Fluctuations occur. Focusing on just watching the scale go down doesn't indicate your true progress. Your lowest weight on the scale does NOT equal your best version of yourself or the healthiest version of yourself. Focusing on the scale only with over restricting food & excessive cardio can lead to lean muscle loss. This does NOT set you up for future success. Focusing on the scale takes away from other great progress measures: strength, confidence, health and how good your clothes are fitting. Keep the emphasis on FAT Loss: * Creating a calorie deficit. You need to eat fewer calories than what your body needs in order to lose weight. This does not, however, mean eating as few calories as possible. Eating too few calories will result in muscle loss, too, among other issues, like fatigue, metabolism disruptions and constant hunger. * Consuming enough protein will help your body preserve lean muscle mass while you shed fat. Amounts vary based on individual needs, but a good estimate is .7-1 g protein per pound of body weight. If your weight is well above goal weight, you may want to use your goal weight here. * Strength training! Lifting also helps preserve lean muscle mass. Prioritizing strength training 3 days a week will help you keep the muscle while you lose fat!

"Macros" is short for macronutrients, which are the three main types of nutrients that provide energy and are essential for various bodily functions. The three macronutrients are: Proteins, Carbohydrates & Fats Balancing your intake of these macronutrients according to your dietary needs and goals can help optimize health, performance, and body composition.

One of my favorite books on behavior change is Atomic Habits by James Clear. In his book, Clear describes a simple strategy to support behavior change in the early states. It's called Implementation Intention. Implementation intention can be used for any habit you are trying to initiate. Just use this formula: I will (BEHAVIOR) at (TIME) in (LOCATION). The more effort you put into thinking it through and formulating the plan, the better your chances are of following through! Give it a try in the week ahead & you will likely be more successful!

If you are trying to lose fat, you need to create a calorie deficit and maintain it consistently. Doing so will force your body to use stored energy (ideally fat) to make up the difference, leading to weight loss. Find your maintenance calorie level @ tdeecalculator.net & subtract 300-500 to create a moderate calorie deficit.

Five years ago this past weekend I was in Boston for a training that would lead me to become a Certified Personal Trainer. It was scary, I was nervous, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Flash forward & here we are. And it never would have happened if I hadn’t taken a chance & stepped out of my comfort zone. I never dreamed I would have a virtual fitness platform. I am not sure I would have even known what that was 5 years ago. And if you had told me at that time I would be doing workouts in my basement & having women all over the world join me, I think I would have laughed in your face. But I followed my passion, and it led me here. Today the Inspire Fitness program reaches all corners of the US & internationally. I get to workout with some amazing women that I never would have met otherwise. It is my goal to support & encourage these women to become better versions of themselves every day. And I LOVE it. I am grateful for the leap I took! I am grateful for the support I had from my family. And I am incredibly grateful for the support I have received from my clients along the way.

I had a great time this weekend! I took a super quick road trip to see one of my favorite artists live in concert. I got to spend some time with one of my clients, met a new friend, saw an old friend, hung with my BFF. I ate cheese curds & drank beer. I stayed up late & skipped my morning workout and didn’t open my computer for an entire 48 hours. And I didn’t feel guilty about any of it! This isn’t my typical day, and I know what I do some of the time has a minimal impact on my health & fitness goals because what I do MOST of the time is much more important! #consistency is what matters most. And MOST of the time I am consistent in my efforts. The same is true for YOU! What you do MOST of the time is what matters MOST.

First of all. Happy First Day of SUMMER!!! It’s officially the summer season, so cheers to that! ☀️ We all have insecurities, right? Those things we REALLY don’t like about ourselves. I would be totally lying if I said that I don’t have any. After 3 babies, all via c-section and multiple abdominal surgeries my stomach is FAR from pretty. So yeah, I struggle to feel 💯 % confident in a swim suit at the beach. But. I know that it really doesn’t matter. My friends, my family, the other people at the beach, and pretty much everyone else on the entire planet... they don’t care what my stomach looks like. NO ONE ELSE cares!! So seriously, ladies, why do we put so much pressure on ourselves?! If we put the time and effort that we spend caring about what other people think into working at accepting & loving ourselves we could be so much happier at the beach and in life rather than giving a shit about things that DON’T EVEN MATTER. I tell my clients this often, and I still need to remind myself regularly as well, love yourself, damnit!! Have confidence in the amazing person you are. Be proud of yourself. Don’t compare yourself to others, focus on being the best YOU that you can be. 💛 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d Click here for services: https://inspirehw.com/ Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Fiber is SO important for women over the age of 40. It is especially important for women who are trying to lose fat. Fiber helps with satiety & appetite control. Fiber is good for digestive health & helps promote a good gut bacteria population. High Fiber foods are typically lower in calories and add volume to your food. Good fiber sources include: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legume; nuts/seeds; Most women who are trying to lose fat should eat a minimum of 25 g of fiber per day- more is generally better; Individual needs vary.

A deload week is "a planned period of rest and recovery that’s designed to help you avoid the pitfalls of constant intense exercise." Deloading is important for women over age 40 who are lifting weights for various reasons: Recovery & Injury Prevention Join Health Adaptation & Progression Mental Health De-loading guidance will vary based on the individual- their goals, training methods & other variables. Bottom line- de-loading is important- especially for those of you pushing heavy weights & lifting consistently & with a high level of intensity. Taking your reps, sets or weights down works. For many women in my program, I would recommend doing this every 8-10 weeks, but some may need to do so more frequently. HOW TO STRUCTURE A DELOAD WEEK DELOAD WEEK EXAMPLE: VOLUME If volume is the variable you decide to reduce, this is how your deload week workout would compare to an original workout. • Original workout: 3 sets of8-10 reps, covering 6-8 exercises • Deload week workout: 2 sets of 4-6 reps, covering 6 exercises DELOAD WEEK EXAMPLE: LOAD • Original workout: 3 sets of 10 deadlifts, lifting 50 lbs • Deload week workout: 3 sets of 10 deadlifts, lifting 25 lbs DELOAD WEEK EXAMPLE: INTENSITY • Original workout: 3 sets of 10 deadlifts, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets • Deload week workout: 3 sets of 10 deadlifts, resting for 2 minutes between sets Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d Click here for services: https://inspirehw.com/ Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

The All or Nothing mentality makes us feel like we need to adhere perfectly to our goals & plans, or we feel we have failed completely. This mindset can lead to extreme behaviors with nutrition & exercise & is not at all helpful for long term success. This mindset is common among women who are working on their fitness & fat loss goals & isn't all that helpful. The All/Nothing mentality can be changed. I encourage women to focus on PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION & work towards sustainable behavior change.

Are you an emotional eater? You may find that emotional eating has a big impact on success with your fat loss goals. Are you an Emotional Eater? The first step is awareness! Emotional Eating often is associated with a desire to eat that comes on strongly & suddenly; It is often tied to a particular EMOTION- such as sadness, frustration, anger, loneliness; With Emotional Eating- individuals often eat without awareness & there are often feelings of GUILD & SHAME associated with the act of Emotional Eating afterwards. Minimize Emotional Eating! Set yourself up for success. Minimize temptations i.e. - remove the candy from your desk! Plan your meals & include protein to keep you feeling satisfied AND keep cravings to a minimum. When you feel the strong and sudden urge to eat. Ask yourself- “Am I hungry?” and “What emotion am I feeling in this moment that might be triggering me to eat?” Minimize added stress! Its okay to say no to some social invitations & other obligations. Pick & choose what you want to do most & kindly decline those you aren’t excited about. Having less things on your to-do list will help keep your stress down. Stress is unavoidable - but you can control how you deal with it. Find healthy ways to manage your stress such as exercise, talking with a friend, listening to music, meditation, etc. Seek professional help if needed. If you are looking for a healthy way to manage your stress, I invite you to join in my virtual workouts. When you prioritize your fitness you are better able to manage the your stress!

In the Inspire Fitness program, we have a motto- NEVER MISS A MONDAY! Here is why this concept can be helpful for you on YOUR fitness journey. 1. It helps you set the tone for the week. It signals a commitment to health and fitness right from the start. 2. It helps you Build Momentum. A good workout on Monday can create momentum, making it easier to stay consistent with fitness goals throughout the week. 3. It can help you Overcome Procrastination. Starting the week with exercise helps combat the tendency to procrastinate. It reduces the likelihood of postponing workouts to later in the week. 4. It Builds Routine & Habits. Making Monday workouts a non-negotiable part of your schedule helps establish a routine, which is crucial for consistency and habit formation. 5. It provides a Psychological Boost. Completing a workout on Monday can provide a sense of accomplishment and boost confidence, setting a positive psychological tone for tackling other weekly challenges. 6. It can help Counteract Weekend Indulgences. For many, weekends can involve less healthy eating and less activity. A Monday workout helps reset and refocus on health goals after the weekend. 7. It Establishes Accountability. Having a fixed point in the week to exercise adds an element of accountability. If Monday is always a workout day, it becomes a consistent anchor in your fitness routine. If you re looking for support on YOUR fitness journey, I welcome you to join us!

Did you have an indulgent Holiday Weekend? If so, you may have seen the scale take a jump. But- before you panic. Consider that this may just be a temporary fluid fluctuation. ust because the scale moves, doesn’t mean you are gaining or losing fat. Most fluctuations on the scale are short term & can be caused by the following: Dietary Changes- Consuming high-sodium foods, large meals, or indulging in high-calorie treats can cause temporary weight gain due to water retention and digestion processes. Hydration Levels- The body’s water content can fluctuate significantly. Dehydration can lead to a temporary decrease in weight, while excess fluid retention, which can occur due to hormonal changes, high sodium intake, or certain medications, can cause weight to rise. Hormonal Changes-Hormonal fluctuations, such as those during the menstrual cycle, can lead to temporary water retention and bloating. Many women may experience weight gain in the days leading up to & during their periods. Exercise and Physical Activity- Regular physical activity can lead to temporary weight gain due to muscle inflammation and repair processes. Illness or Infection- When the body fights off an illness or infection, it can lead to weight fluctuations. Fever, inflammation, and fluid loss can all affect the number on the scale. Medications- Some medications may lead to weight fluctuations as a side effect. This can include weight gain or loss, depending on the medication. Menstrual Cycle- As previously mentioned, hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can result in temporary weight changes, primarily due to water retention and appetite shifts. Remember- Fluctuations on the scale are normal and part of daily life. For most women, these fluctuations are temporary and do not necessarily reflect meaningful changes in body fat. This is why I recommend women use the scale as just ONE measure of progress. And when doing so- focus on long-term trends rather than day-to-day variations. Using other measures of progress such as taking progress pictures & measurements & monitoring how your clothes are fitting can be a better indicator of your progress.

As a Registered Dietitian & Certified Personal Trainer, I work with women to help them lose fat, get fit & gain confidence. My most successful clients tend to have these 5 things in common. 1. They lift weights regularly. 2. They prioritize protein with the majority of their meals & snacks. 3. They fill up on high fiber foods like fruits & vegetables. 4. They incorporate daily movement into their day in addition to their workouts. 5. they occasionally fall off track, but they get right back on with the very next meal, the next workout, or the next day. They use the mindset of progress, not perfection & focus on consistency in their efforts.

When you return from vacation, here are 3 things you really shouldn’t do. 1. Do NOT weight yourself. Just stay OFF the scale. For a solid week. The scale will almost inevitably be up. There is no need to see that number- it won't do you any good! It may be up because you truly gained weight. OR it could be up because of fluid retention, which is very common when traveling. Excess sodium from dining out, alcohol, more carbs than normal & sitting in the car or airplane can all contribute to fluid retention. This is TEMPORARY and will likely shake out after a few days. But do yourself a favor & just leave it be. 2. Do NOT restrict excessively. You may be feeling “heavy” or bloated, neither of which are a good feeling, but there is no need to go into a highly restrictive plan. It's definitely okay to get back to healthy eating, but cutting out all carbs or taking your calories down drastically will only leave you feeling hungry & contributes to the all/nothing mentality. Think balance & focus on eating more veggies, fruits & lean protein. 3. Do NOT try to compensate with excessive exercise. Instead, get back to your normal routine. Plan for & schedule in your workouts. Go ahead & take an extra walk if you have time, but grinding for an hour+ on the elliptical for 5 days straight isn’t going to do you any good in the long run. Again, it sets you up for an all/nothing mindset. Balance is better for sustainability. Here are some healthy things you can do post-vacay: ☀️Pound the water. Aim for 100 oz daily. ☀️Get back to your normal sleep routine. ☀️Meal plan & grocery shop so you are prepared & have healthy food options on hand. ☀️And finally, give yourself a little grace - it will take some time to get back to your routine. Allow some for some flexibility, but definitely hold yourself accountable & get back to it! If you are looking for support & accountability for your health & fitness goals- I would love to help.

Mar 22, 2024

I broke my streak of 4 years! I have been doing this virtual fitness thing for 4 years, and last week was the first time I had to cancel a class for my clients. Let me tell you where it all started... in 2019 I was in the early stages of my business. I was offering nutrition coaching to clients who were looking for support for weight management. I was always interested in fitness, but didn’t have the credentials to support my clients in the way I wanted to, so I pursued my Personal Trainer Certificate. I took a course, went to training in Boston for a weekend & studied my tail off all summer. Early in Sept. 2019 I took & passed my certification exam & was officially a CPT. My intention was never to be a group fitness instructor, and I really wasn’t even interested in providing 1:1 personal training. Initially I started offering written fitness plans for my clients to follow. I started to do some 1:1 training at a local gym that just opened up & that sparked some interest in a group fitness class. In Feb 2020 I was just getting started doing a couple of fitness classes a week & found I REALLY enjoyed this- I was planning for a virtual fitness program BEFORE the world stopped in March of 2020, but I know for certain the events surrounding the pandemic helped to propel my business. Fast forward 4 years- I continue to offer this virtual fitness program- it has become the majority of the business I do in Inspire. I absolutely LOVE it! The Inspire Fitness program has grown to over 550 members. My clients join me all over the country & internationally. Women workout with me from the comfort of their own homes. It is a convenient & efficient/effective way for them to get fit. For the past 4 years I’ve offered 2-4 LIVE classes each week & my library has grown as each class is recorded. Each week I write a schedule & each day I show up for my clients & do the workout. It wasn’t my intent to have this “streak” I just kept showing up consistently & doing what I said I would do. It is important to me to be dependable to my clients & be there for them when I say I will be. Thankfully, I’ve avoided major illness or injuries and for that I am incredibly grateful! This past week I had a family situation arise. I was traveling for a work conference & planning to come home Wednesday evening. I had a workout scheduled early Thursday morning. Without sharing too much personal information, I made the decision to make my family a priority & I extended my trip to see my Aunt who is very ill. It really wasn’t a difficult decision for me- but I had to let my clients know it was going to impact the weekly schedule & I would have to cancel Thursday morning’s class. I was disappointed to have to break my streak & struggled to admit I was not in fact, invincible. However, I was BLOWN AWAY at the incredible support that was offered from the women in my fitness community. And it felt pretty incredible to be lifted up during a difficult personal time by my own clients- the very individuals I strive to help on a daily basis. So, the 4 year streak has ended, and it is ok! Thank you to my clients for your unbelievable support. Thank you to all who have been a part of this journey. I look forward to continuing to do this work as it is my passion! If you would like to join us in the Inspire Fitness membership, I welcome you!

Eat More Protein for Better Fat Loss After Age 40! Eating enough protein is SO important for your fat loss efforts, especially for women over the age of 40. Eating enough protein helps you feel more full & satisfied. It helps you burn more calories through digestion. It will allow you to maintain more lean muscle as you lose fat. Eat protein with all meals & snacks in order to see your best results. But, HOW do you include more protein in your day? 1. Plan your meal around protein. Choose your protein first & then ask yourself what can I add to this meal. Chicken, tuna, salmon, lean beef or pork, tofu, eggs & egg whites, whey protein, edamame are great options. 2. If your protein source portion is small (3 oz or less)- such as in a soup, salad or sauce- as yourself- what can I ADD to this meal to include more protein. Good examples might be a handful of roasted edamame, a greek yogurt or cottage cheese, or a glass of milk on the side. 3. Include high protein snacks such as a tuna packet, ready made protein drink, turkey jerky, hard boiled eggs, roasted edamame, or greek yogurt w/ added whey protein powder. HOW MUCH protein should you consume? Individual needs vary! But a good equation to use for women who are over age 40, strength training AND eating in a calorie deficit is: 1.6-2.4 g protein per kg body weight. Ex: 180 lbs woman 180 /2.2 = 81 kg x 1.6 = 131; x 2.4 = 196 g; 131- 196 g protein per day OR OR 1 g of protein per pound of goal weight.

Mindless Eating is consuming food without paying attention to hunger cues or to the amounts of food being eaten; It can include eating out of habit, boredom or in response to external cues such as advertisements, stress or in social situations; For women over age 40 this can have an impact on your ability to lose fat as it can push you out of your calorie deficit for fat loss. Increasing awareness of your intake is essential to reduce mindless eating. You may find these steps helpful! Be mindful- and intentional! Pay attention to your hunger & fullness cues; Eat slowly & savor your food; limit distractions while eating. Focus on the textures, tastes & smells of your food. SIT DOWN while eating. Keep a food journal; Bite it, write it; Plan meals & snacks; Keep the focus on nutrient-dense foods- when these foods make up the majority of your meals it makes it easier to reduce the nibbling on not so healthy options.

Progressive overload essentially means gradually increasing the demands placed on the body during exercise. This helps your body to make adaptations and improvement- which is important for women over age 40. For women over 40 lifting weights lifting weights in a progressive manner will help prevent plateaus and help promote improved strength & increased muscle mass. By progressively increasing the weight, reps, or intensity of their workouts, women over 40 can continue to build strength, improve bone density, and support overall health and vitality. Progressive overload is essential for muscle growth and definition because it continuously challenges the muscles to adapt to increasing demands. When you consistently lift heavier weights, perform more repetitions, or increase workout intensity over time, it stimulates muscle fibers to grow stronger and get bigger. This process results in increased muscle mass and enhanced muscle definition, giving a more toned and sculpted appearance. The best ways to implement progressive tension overload are: Increase how much weight you lift. Increase your rep range in each set. Increase the number of sets you do per week Beginners- Focus on form FIRST. Do not progress with weights unless you are comfortable with form & technique first. Keep in mind the following when progressing: Gradual progression! Listen to your body Consistency is key Recovery matters Track your progress Individualization - personal preferances, goals, your fitness level For more info or to join us in a strength based fitness program for women over age 40, visit inspirehw.com; Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

If you are going on vacation soon or travel often for work - you don’t have to set your fat loss goals aside completely. Take a listen to my 6 tips for staying on track with your fat loss goals while you are away. 1. Move your body every single day. This doesn’t mean you have to stick with your normal routine 100% or keep the intensity level as high as normal, but try to build movement into your day as much as possible. Take a morning walk, rent bikes for an afternoon, or spend some time moving in the pool! If you have access to a fitness facility, and you have the time, try to get in at least one solid lift while you are away. 2. Fuel up on protein early in the day. Vacations are often a time for dining out & indulging on food & drinks you may not have in your typical day. Try to keep your first meal high in protein. This will keep you feeling full & craving less as the day goes on. 3. Drink your water! Make a conscious effort to drink more water. At least 80-100 oz per day is a good target, drink more if you are in a warm climate & are sweating! 4. Set limits on alcohol and try to stick to low calorie options. No doubt you will be kicking up your feet & probably drinking a little more than during your typical routine. But alcohol calories add up fast & drinking too much can be a slippery slope- it often leads to poor food choices too. Set a limit on drinks or a number of days that you will drink. When you do drink, choose lower calorie options such as liquor with low cal mixers or light beers. Keep indulgent drinks like daquirs and margaritas to a minimum! 5. Food portions at restaurants can be HUGE! Be mindful of your portions. Enjoy some indulgent foods, but eat them slowly & savor them. Try to share an entree with someone or take half home. 6. Finally- set realistic expectations. You have been working hard on your fat loss goals, it's okay to enjoy your time away & not feel the need to be 100% on. You won’t undo months of progress in just a week- if you are mindful & intentional -AKA- don’t eat like an A$$hole! Also, do yourself a favor & just stay off the scale for a solid week once you are home. Travel brings about a lot of fluid retention & you don’t need to see the number jump a few pounds due to those fluctuations.

Sugar is everywhere! It's important to differentiate between naturally occurring sugars & added sugars and take steps to minimise ADDED sugars from your diet. Use the following tips to keep our sugar cravings in check: 1. Increase Awareness- pay attention to food labels & limit foods with high amounts of added sugars. 2. Focus on what you can ADD to the meal to help you feel more full & satisfied. PROTEIN & Fiber will satisfy you more- leaving you feeling less likely to need to grab those high sugary foods. 3. Balance meals with healthy carbohydrates & fats. Including a good balance of these macronutrients in your meals will help you feel more full & satisfied. 4. Improve sleep & manage stress. Low or poor quality sleep will leave you feeling low energy during the day- we are more likely to turn to quick energy foods. Look for ways to minimize your stress & for healthy ways to manage it, such as exercise. 5. Be mindful & intentional with your food choices. It isn't realistic to say I will never eat sugar containing foods; On occasion, slow down enjoy it; Eat it & move on- no guilt! Casey is a Registered Dietitian & Certified Personal Trainer.

Casey Young, Registered Dietitian & Certified Personal Trainer has helped thousands of women get fit, lose fat & gain confidence. She is the owner & founder of Inspire Health & Wellness and provides a virtual fitness program & nutrition coaching for women all over the world. Casey believes that all women should lift weights & while her goal is to help women on their fat loss journey, she doesn't believe the scale tells the whole story. The Scale Should Not be your only measure of progress. The scale will tell you- your current weight at one point in time. It does not tell you your body composition, whether or not you are retaining fluid, if you have not gone to the bathroom in a few days; And it certainly does not determine your self worth. When a woman is on a weight loss journey it can be easy to get caught up in the number on the scale, but the scale doesn't always give you an accurate measure of your progress. The scale can fluctuate! For a number of reasons. Such as a hard workout, extra carbohydrates being consumed, hormonal fluctuations, or a high salt meal. There are better indicators of progress & these can include: progress pictures, measurements, body composition methods (when completed by an experienced individual); evaluating how you feel- energy, sleep, mood; how much energy you have in your workouts & the progress you are making in your fitness level. When you are on a weight loss journey- it is better to use multiple methods to check your progress. If the scale isn't moving or is causing you frustration in your efforts, you can skip it altogether. Never let the scale determine your self-worth. At the end of the day it is just a number. You are so much more valuable that that.

As a Registered Dietitian & Certified Personal Trainer, I help women lose fat, get fit & gain confidence. I am a firm believer in strength training for women. I know many women struggle to get into a regular routine with their fitness and many women don't know what to do or how to get started with lifting weights. If you want to create an effective routine with lifting- one you will stick to for the LONG TERM & actually see RESULTS from- I highly recommend you do the following: 1. Focus on Form & Technique- Slow down & focus on getting the lift done correctly. Use a mirror to check your form & if you can’t work with a trainer in person, use a reliable online resource! 2. Start with very light weights or no weights- Until you feel confident in your form/technique you shouldn’t be concerned about lifting heavy. Start with light weights or just body weight until you feel confident to bump your weights up. 3. Limit the number of exercises you do & keep your reps on the low end. 4-5 different exercises & 6-8 reps are plenty when you are just getting started! 4. Provide time to rest/recover. Take at least 48 hours in between lifting the same muscle groups. For newbies this may mean lifting just 2 days a week & that is FINE! 5. Be patient & show up consistently. Results will take time & you can’t rush the process. Looking for support to get started (or back into) lifting weights? I can help! Join us for the Beginner Bootcamp!
