It feels amazing when you

⛅ Basking in the sun after a cloudy week 🌦️
💪 Crushing a tough workout 🏋️‍♂️
🏋️‍♀️ Achieving fitness goals after months of dedication 💯

Life isn't always easy, but it's the challenges that make it all worthwhile.

If you're always on the lookout for the latest "optimal exercises" but don't log your lifts or follow a basic program

You're doing muscle-building wrong

It's scary the number of videos I've seen of people discussing how certain foods spike their blood sugar...

As if it is a bad thing...

Blood sugar spikes after eating aren't making you gain weight, or preventing you from it... Too many calories is.

Do you want to get "toned"?

Toning isn't really a thing. Achieving that body composition is the result of losing fat and building muscle.

Here's how to do it 👉

Once you shift your mindset about exercise from simply "burning calories" to performance-based goals, and you start to see improvements over time, that's when you know you've made a lifelong change.

Your ability to lose fat, build muscle, and your overall health are directly influenced by sleep. Lack of sleep doesn't just impact your performance in the gym but also affects your day-to-day life

Sleep well. Everything else can wait till tomorrow

[Jorge Brites @JorgeBritess]

If you have to choose between

Lift weights
Do cardio
Eat
Sleep 7+ hours...

Always choose sleep

Don't shy away from your goals just because they're challenging. Start where you're at, set realistic goals at first, and work your way up

Things don't become easier; however, you do get better

[Jorge Brites @JorgeBritess]

The leaner you get, the more challenging it is to shed those last few pounds of fat

The bigger you get, the more challenging it is to gain the next few pounds of muscle

The stronger you get, the more challenging it is to increase the weight on your lifts

"eat less, move more" is really not helpful advice for someone struggling with losing weight. It's like. You do realize people are not dumb. right?

Instead, try this. 👉

✅ Once you are consistent with nutrition, you can take one step forward and start tracking your macros in order to get a more objective measure of your intake and therefore make more accurate adjustments as needed.
