I’d stop wasting my time thinking that weight lo

I’d stop wasting my time thinking that weight loss was going to make me look leaner.

I would remember looking in the mirror, frustrated.

I was working out, eating clean, and I lost a few pounds… but my body didn’t look the way I thought it would.

I wasn’t lean. I wasn’t toned.

I just felt smaller, weaker, and clothes weren’t fitting any different.

So, I did what I thought I needed to do—I cut calories lower, added more cardio, and pushed through HIIT workouts five days a week.

And yet… nothing.

What I didn’t realize at the time was that losing weight wasn’t the answer—building muscle was.

Because getting “lean” isn’t about being as light as possible.

It’s about having the muscle definition that actually creates shape.

And to do that, you don’t need to eat less…

🚀 You need to fuel your body enough to support muscle growth.
🚀 You need to train with intention, not just sweat through random workouts.
🚀 You need to give your metabolism the support it needs instead of constantly fighting against it.

When I finally let go of the idea that smaller = better, everything changed.

I ate more, I trained smarter, and for the first time ever… my body actually started to look the way I wanted it to.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of dieting, doing more cardio, and wondering why you still don’t have the muscle definition you want… this is your sign to do the opposite.

Trust me, I wish I had sooner because I would’ve gotten to my dream physique and have found food freedom SO much earlier.

Lifting for years but still don’t look leaner?

Lifting for years but still don’t look leaner?

It’s not your genetics.
It’s not that you’re not working hard enough.

It’s that your workouts have no real strategy.

You’re out here trying to build muscle, get stronger, and lose fat all at the same time—and your body is confused.

Building muscle requires clear direction to adapt and grow, and if you’re constantly switching it up with no structure, you’re slowing down your own progress.

That’s where periodization comes in.

Phasing out your workouts into 8-12 week blocks where each block focuses on one goal at a time before moving to the next.

If you’re trying to get leaner (build muscle and shred fat)…
- You need to FIRST build the muscle!!
- And then go into a leaning out phase where your primary focus is to lose the fat.

That’s why we created Limitless: Shred & Build, a ready for you program with all your workouts laid out in proper structured phases o you’re not just working hard, but working smart.

The perfect program for the woman who is tired of winging it and wants to change up her routine to get leaner for the summer months.

Stop being so hard on yourself! We put so much p

Stop being so hard on yourself!

We put so much pressure on ourselves to always give our best—to hit PRs, to push through, to leave the gym feeling like we gave 110%.

But the truth is… some days, just showing up is your best.

If you wake up drained, stressed, or running on fumes, and you still make the effort to move your body, you didn’t “half-ass” your workout—you gave 100% of what you had today.

And that matters.

Because success isn’t built on the days you feel unstoppable. It’s built on the days you show up when you don’t feel like it.

So if all you had was 30% today, and you still put that into your workout—you gave your all.

And that’s enough.

If you don’t celebrate these days, it’ll only get harder to show up and therefore feel like you’re falling backwards rather than still pushing the needle forward one step at a time.

Let’s talk cable face pulls!!!

Working your rear belt is not only important for posture but it’s what will give you that LEAN & defined BACK physique that I know so many of us are chasing.

Although it’s technically the third head of your shoulder, I like to incorporate it in my back day because it just flows better for me.

Because it is an isolated and smaller msucle group, make sure you’re going lighter and working that mind-muscle connection to prevent your other big muscles to take over.

Rather than thinking about going heavier to progressive overload, this is a good exercise to progress over time by slowing down the tempo, increasing in reps or taking less rest in between.

Make sure you’re feeling it in the right area before you go heavier in weight so you’re not compensating!

The key here is this:
💎 elbows should stay in line with your ears
💎 exhale as you pull with a slow eccentric
💎 squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for a second

I hope this was helpful, make sure to SAVE this video and let me know if you have any questions.

What exercise should I make next?? 👇🏽👇🏽

So many women are stuck in habits they don’t eve

So many women are stuck in habits they don’t even realize are holding them back.

��The way you think about food matters. Your body isn’t meant to be micromanaged, punished, or restricted. It’s meant to be nourished, fueled, and trusted.

�✨ Eating should feel freeing, not stressful.

✨ Food should support your goals, not control your life.

✨ A strong, healthy body starts with a strong, healthy mindset.

If you want to build muscle, support your metabolism, and finally feel at peace with food, you have to challenge the old ways of thinking.

The way you eat isn’t just about your physique—it’s about your energy, confidence, and long-term health.
