Hello, hello, welcome back to the show. Today we are diving into what I think is the most underrated,

most misunderstood and probably the most life-changing thing that you can do for your body, which is

build muscle intentionally. I know a lot of you probably started your fitness journey through losing fat.

That's how I started mine.

And exercise was just a very small part of it.

It was more like I didn't do anything that was progressive overload in terms of training.

The weight training I did was more like cardio based and burpees.

But the point is, I know a lot of you are similar in terms of starting your fitness journey

through fat loss and wanting to slim down and lose weight and just feel more confident.

But I really want to touch on the building muscle piece because I feel like this gets so either

misconstrued in thinking that you're going to be big and bulky or that it's just not that

important.

But the biggest thing to take away here is when you say that you want to be lean and toned,

understanding that tone is muscle without fat covering it.

So you have to actually build muscle to have tone on your body. So today we are going to talk about

a few different things. So we're obviously going to touch on why building muscle is so important.

We're going to talk about progressive overload, what that is.

I know a lot of you hear that and you're like, oh, I, you know, I hear people talk about it,

but I'm not sure exactly what it is or how to do it.

So we're going to touch on that today and dive into how to just simplify it.

That's the whole point in this podcast is I don't want it to be so confusing.

I want it to be very like digestible.
