Bikinis After Babies

On this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies, we are coming to you with some of our insight into competition prep from our perspective both as coaches and competitors ourselves! 

One subject that often comes up is the process of changing body composition and the argument that fat loss is harder than muscle gain…or vice versa.   

In this episode we dive deep into this debate and discuss the following key points:
  • Is the challenge physical or psychological?
  • Is “weight loss” being confused with actual fat loss?
  • Are women underestimating how long muscle building truly takes?
  • Does social media distort expectations for both?
  • Is maintenance actually the hardest phase of all?

Many of our clients are starting prep and the countdown is both thrilling and nerve-wracking! Every check-in is a reminder of how much work lies ahead.  We hope the concepts and strategies discussed in this episode help motivate and inspire you, wherever you’re at on your fitness journey, to put in the work, day in and day out…..the work is WORTH IT!
