22: Toning is bullsh*t

Trying to tone your muscles is like having one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. You can push as hard as you can, but you’re gonna get nowhere You can’t tone a muscle, and anyone who tries to tell you that you can, has zero clue what they’re talking about. Having that “toned” look is having more muscle and less body fat. You don’t get “toned” but lifting light weights for high reps, eating clean, and doing a ton of cardio. You get “toned” by trying to get strong AF, lifting he...

18: You don't know what you don't know

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know. I think, especially now, it is easy to sit there and compare your day one to someone's day 500, but honestly we all have a day one, we all start somewhere, and we all restart a hundred times before we continue. I used to be clueless, I did so many "right"things for years that did nothing to help me reach my goals. I held myself back, I limited myself, and I was afraid of doing what I really needed to do. The more I learn now, t...

10: Biofeedback

Biofeedback- what is it and why does it matter? Your body is sending you messages, how it responds or doesn't respond can be a sign. In episode 10 I go deeper into some of the things you can measure and pay attention to, to get real time feedback as to how your body is is doing. At the end of the day your body cares about survival, not about your goals, so learn to work with it, not against it. Find me on IG @meganashleyfitness For coaching inquiries click here

9: Context Matters

It depends. One of the most frustrating answers to hear, but the most truthful ones. Everything you do is for a reason, and everything you do depends on everything else you're doing. Context matters when it comes to your macros, training, cardio, and what you should be doing, how you do it and why you do it. IG @meganashleyfitness Coaching
