Hello, beautiful podcast listeners and welcome to the ESG Fitness podcast. Today I'm on my own. I'm going to do a solo podcast so please wish me luck. Normally I'm like, oh, these would be really short because I'm just on my own and then I blabble up. So who knows, but here we go. First question. Should I concentrate on fat loss rather than building muscle

during this time at home I understand if I keep working the muscles I'll keep them but will I really

build muscle only having body weight in balance should I be realistic oh sorry wait next that was the

next question do you know one thing I've

realized, I'm not sure if I've said this before, but since doing podcasts, I've realized I'm actually

not very good at reading, or at least reading outside. Outside, out loud. Gosh, it's not a great start.

Okay, so this question, yes, you can absolutely build muscle at home.

The second part does say, should I be realistic and only expecting to see results after two to three months of consistency?

Yeah, like, so this individual is quite lean already, they're quite muscular already, so I can see the hesitation of being like,

well, surely I can't build muscle with body weight and bands, but you absolutely can. And two to three

months isn't really that bigger time to see results when you're trying to build muscle. I don't

know if anyone remembers, I'll post it up in the group maybe when I post this, but I did a, or I took some information from Lam McDonald's work and did like a comparison of how quickly you can build muscle and it's ridiculously slow for a woman, especially if you are already resistance trained.

So even after two to three months, you're probably not

going to see that much. In fact, Shona from the up close and personal trainer podcast, if you

guys remember her from like a couple of days ago, she is actually one of my clients as well as

one of the most hilarious people I've ever met

slash not met but anyway she showed me pictures of her from this time last year and right now

and her weight is basically the same but she's become much leaner and that's like an amazing

achievement because it shows that she's not really lost

it to what she's definitely not lost muscle. She may have built some muscle and she looks leaner as a result.

But that's the sort of time frame we're looking at if you're already well trained and you're

already doing most things right and you've had some consistency with lifting weights for a couple of years and not just lifting weights but
