Ever feel like you're doing all the "right" things, like tracking your food, lifting weights, and getting your steps in, but…you don’t look like you work out?It’s one of THE most common frustrations I hear from the ladies I work with! It’s usually not because you're lazy or your body is “broken”. More often, it’s because you're working on the wrong things.In this episode, I'm breaking down six reasons your body may not be changing the way you want it to. From under-fueling and chasing perfection, to skipping recovery and overcomplicating your routine, these are the habits I see holding women back time and time again. The goal isn't to do more - it’s to remove the things preventing your body from adapting and growing.Looking like you lift doesn't happen because you work yourself into the ground. It happens when you fuel your body, train with intention, recover well, and repeat the process long enough to let your body adapt!Episode recap:Why working harder doesn't always mean working smarterWhy under-fueling is keeping you building muscle + recovering wellFocusing on repeatable habits vs. trying to be “perfect” with everythingWhy you NEED recovery days Stop overcomplicating the basics Focus on optimizing + doing the basics firstWhy your body adapts to what you repeatedly doLinks/Resources:Ep. 253 | Why Food Noise Is Real + Why It’s Keeping You StuckSHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA’s and Creatine!Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!
