Ep. 48 - Transform Your Body and Mind with Strength Training & Nutrition

This week on The Breaking Up With Anxiety™ Podcast, I’m joined by my coach and personal trainer, Alanna, who is a registered practical nurse and the founder of Athleisure Society!

Alanna and her team at Athleisure Society specialize in body recomposition—transforming the ratio of fat to muscle—while empowering clients with knowledge about nutrition and the strength of intentional training.

I signed up for Athleisure Society because I really wanted to better understand how to build healthy muscle, optimize my time in the gym, ensure I was lifting weights properly with good form, prevent injury, and, of course, learn more about body recomposition. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why I decided to hire support and work with Alanna
  • My gradual weight gain, why it happened, and what I didn’t realize at the time
  • How much protein you really need
  • How focusing on your health can actually save you money
  • Why just 3 full-body workouts a week can help you achieve your dream body and why weight training is so important
  • What “progressive overload” and “technical failure” mean in weight training
  • Why resting between sets is crucial
  • What the ideal workout plan looks like for your dream body
  • And no, lifting weights will not make you bulky! We explain why in this episode!

I’m super excited for you to hear this conversation, and I hope it inspires you to start lifting heavy!
