Some thoughts and discussions from me.

 

 

If you’re like me and many of the women I coach, you probably don’t have a problem completing (most of) your workouts.

A brand new training plan with a couple of your favorites and a few challenging/scary/cool movements makes you giddy.

Of course, you won’t be bounding into the gym with joy for every single workout, but in general, workout compliance isn’t a huge issue.

If you’re like most, your workouts aren’t holding you back from achieving your body composition goals. Yes, a sound, effective, progressive training plan is non-negotiable, but when it comes to your muscle definition or fat loss goals, many people struggle with nutrition.

If it’s harder to dial in your nutrition than it is your workouts – you’re far from alone.

This is the main reason I’m focusing equally on nutrition and training in my upcoming training program. It’s why I like to apply scheduled, specific nutrition strategies that I call

Treat Your Nutrition Like Your Workouts

In this video, I discuss the following:

  • What “Nutrition Workouts” are
  • The Four Core Nutrition Workouts I use in my upcoming program
  • How you can adjust to your schedule

note: my February 8th boot camp is now full, but if you’d like to get on the waitlist for the next one, scroll downward

Nutrition Workouts

Nutrition workouts are when treat your nutrition like your workouts! They’re key strategies to put in place on a regular basis during your week to help streamline your nutrition.

They include meal planning and preparation hacks, nutrition strategies, and collecting/analyzing data.

When you treat your nutrition like your workouts, you place an equally high priority on your meals as you do your training. This, my friends, is key.

We tend to over-emphasize training (and it IS super duper important) and under-emphasize nutrition. Treating your nutrition like a workout also gets in on the calendar. In my upcoming program, we’ll have our nutrition check-ins just like we will for our daily workout check-ins.

Treat Your Nutrition Like Your Workouts

Now, just as I don’t think you need to spend hours in the gym each day to get results, I also don’t think you should be spending hours in the kitchen. Remember minimum effective dose? Plus, who has that kind of time?! 

When you implement nutrition hacks and meal prep strategies, you can use it to streamline your program and hit your goals more easily.

The Four Core Nutrition Workouts

As I mentioned in this post, the first step is to figure out what small, super effective changes you need to make with your nutrition. The second step is implementing the plan and scheduling the nutrition workouts.

Workout #1 – Create Your Meal Plan

Workout #2 – Write your List/Grocery Shop

Workout #3 – Cook & Prepare Your Food 

Workout #4 – Do a Compare, Analysis, & Plan (CAP) of your plan vs. what actually happened

These are the four core nutrition workouts, but of course, there should also be your individual ‘nutrition workouts’ included as well. For example, in my upcoming training program, we’ll also be checking in with our individual nutrition habit changes, as well.

Sooo, my question for you is: what Nutrition Workout will you add to your calendar? Do you struggle more with training or nutrition?
