Maybe you don't know that all gyms are not created equal...that all workouts are not well thought-out and planned meticulously.

Your workouts shouldn't be random, unpredictable, or created on the fly (most of the time). The key to sustainable results and avoiding plateaus is having a well-crafted workout program. Otherwise, you may just be throwing things at the wall and hoping for results that won't come.

Taylor and Nicole discuss the 3 frequent excuses we hear as to why you aren't pursuing life-changing fitness. We talk about how each of these are completely VALID, but also completely RIDICULOUS.

Our goal is to empower you to step out of the comfort zone and go after that vision of yourself that you've been hoping to achieve. Don't let your own bias and insecurity stand in the way of making major improvements to your quality of life!

This episode is all about building a stronger backside ;) Your glutes are muscles that need to be developed and strengthened just like anything else! Plus, you can get some great aesthetic, functional and performance benefits from adding in these 4 exercise types to your routine.

Nicole and Taylor dive deep into the how and what behind reverse dieting. Enjoy the episode!
