Skip the Treadmill. Lift Heavy Instead. Here’s Why.

There’s a common misconception in the fitness world, especially among women: that endless cardio is the key to getting lean and “toned.”

Here’s the truth: too much intense cardio can actually prevent you from building muscle—and muscle is what truly changes the shape of your body, revs your metabolism, and helps protect you from injury as you age.

Yes, I snowboard. It’s intense cardio. But behind the scenes, I’m doing what really matters:

• Lifting heavy weights with proper form

• Taking the right supplements to support muscle retention

• Prioritizing daily movement (like walking 10,000 steps) without over-stressing my system

• Staying consistent and training with intention

Ladies, it’s time to step off the treadmill and step into your strength.
Whether you’re a beginner who feels lost in the gym, or a seasoned pro who’s hit a plateau, I can help you break through with a sustainable plan that gets results.

Let’s make you stronger, leaner, and more empowered.
