What is going on guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Air Carpets Fitness Podcast. Hope you're doing well.

In this episode, I speak with one of my one-on-one

online coaching clients, Patty.

And Patty is somebody who is 54, I believe, Patty said. And we have just kind of gone through our first

calorie surplus phase our first bulk is what most people call it where she

intentionally gains weight to build more muscle and again you know she's

54 she's a woman and I think you know most women a lot of women in general, especially around her age, I think, have this perception of

you have to be the skinniest version of humanly possible, you have to be, you know, the lowest

body fat percentage and you have to do tons of cardio and you don't want a lot of muscle and this that and the other and

Patty just basically goes after all of those thought process and you know she kind of talks about how

She struggled with her overall just weight in the past relationship with food in the past she talks about you know some of her

upbringing some of her childhood you know, why she maybe struggled with food

and you know how she kind of got brought up and things of that nature so you'll kind of hear her talk about that.

She talks about how she was able to lose weight, how she basically is crazy and when you hear the story she

changed her diet in like one day and like I think a lot of people almost like dream

about that but she actually she literally changed her entire diet like a complete

180 in one day and so you'll hear her kind of

story about that and then again she kind of talks about how she was doing a lot of like

the you know working out five six seven days a week trying to do you know two out an hour two hours three hours in the gym and doing all these reps and sets and all these things and she was just you know constantly getting burnt out constantly not feeling great being consistent, all that kind of stuff.

And then she, you know, kind of transitioned to more of like a real strength training program,

focusing on building muscle, focusing on getting stronger, again going into this like intentionally trying to gain weight her entire life was

about you know intentionally trying to lose weight but now again complete 180 and flipping it on on its head
