Ep 49: 3 Ways To Get Better Body Composition

Want to feel great as you age and stronger than ever? It’s time to consider your body composition! In this episode, you'll learn how to overcome three common mistakes in improving body composition, what happens when you overlook the importance of nutrition, the kinds of exercises to focus on most, and the type of program to look for to improve your body composition.

As we age, body fat and body muscle are the most important indicators of health. Only looking at weight loss isn’t an accurate metric! I walk through a case study of a recent client who lost weight but saw a decrease in muscle mass due to under-eating and insufficient protein intake. When my clients correctly stick to a progressive strength training program, focus on the correct exercises, and learn to balance nutrition for their bodies properly, their body compositions significantly improve! Learning to achieve your body’s best composition is the way to stay pain-free and active in the years ahead.
