Why some women get stronger + a leaner physique... and stay that way


Hi Reader!

Why does getting healthier feel more complicated than ever?
โ€‹
Iโ€™ve got two things for you today that might change how you think about that.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didnโ€™t Read ๐Ÿ˜†): the quick version for my busy ladies:

  1. Stop relying on motivation +discipline. Build a system that works when life gets messy. Iโ€™m sharing the framework we use inside our Strong Women communityโ€”the one helping women reach their goals and say, โ€œI know how to keep doing this for life.โ€
    โ€‹
  2. We made it into HMSAโ€™s Island Scene mag! And the conversation went deeper than just โ€œeat well and exercise.โ€ We talked about aging through each decade with more adventure, emotional resilience and the ability to adjust as life changes.

Okay, now the good stuff โ†“โ€‹

Women I talk to, want the same thing:

To feel strong, look leaner, have steady energyโ€”and know how to keep it that way when life gets hectic.

You already know a lot about what you "SHOULD" be doing.

You've tried diets, calorie cutting, bootcamps, workout challenges or protocols that worked (especially when initial motivation was high) ... until they didn't work ...... work got crazy, you traveled, the family needed youโ€”or you simply couldn't keep giving your health efforts that much time and mental + physical energy.

The first and common issue is believing that more discipline was the solution to the problem.

The updated and more helpful belief is relying on a system--one that you learn once, and implement and automate for life, even on the most chaotic days.

Take this quick quiz about your last attempt:

โ†’ Was it built around your schedule, inner strengths and personality tendenciesโ€”or were you handed a standardized plan?

โ†’ Did it focus on only high-ROI changes done one at a time in a specific orderโ€”or require you to shop, cook, wash, cut, prep, drive to the gym or workout at home exponentially more than your norm?

โ†’ When life threw you off, did you know how to

or did you feel like you had to "start over"?

We don't need more discipline or to get better at following someone else's rules.

We need a system that stands the test on knowing clearly what to do even during the busiest seasons (think minimum effective dose) โ€”so you can get stronger, leaner and healthier without your health becoming another full-time job.

That's the thinking behind The Upgrade Methodโ„ข

Here's the framework โ†“

Use it today.
Take what you are currently doing to get healthier, look + feel better, and run it through this framework so your results actually last!

Hi Fabulous Friends! Just in time for the hectic holidays, when workouts and muscle-building goals are the first to get sacrificed. (Thanks, consumer culture! And yes, I'm guilty too. ๐Ÿ˜‚) We start the Minimal Dose Muscle Method TOMORROW! What if you used the next 30 days to learn how to get in a high quality strength session in 10 minutes, even when life isnโ€™t cooperating? So when January rolls around, and life gets a little calmer (lol yeah right), progress feels easier and goes faster. And...

Hi Reader!I want to give you the cliff notes of what took me over 20 years to learn through trial and error. But first, a perspective for every busy woman joining the challengeโ€”or anyone waiting for life to calm down before starting: What if starting when life is messy gives you an advantage when things finally settle down?
