It’s about who you see yourself as.

If What You’re Doing Isn’t Working—Start Here
If you’ve been:
You’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean what you’re doing is wrong. It may just not be complete. 
The Frustration Most Women Don’t Talk About
One of the most common things I hear as a Personal Trainer is: “I’m doing the exercise… but I don’t feel anything where I’m supposed to.” Or: “I feel everything except what I’m trying to work.” This is especially common with:
Because you’re showing up. You’re doing the work. But your body doesn’t seem to be responding the way it should. 
What Most Women Are Really Trying to Achieve
Most women say they want to lose weight. But when we talk a little longer, that’s not actually what they mean. They want to:
They don’t just want to weigh less. They want their body to look different. And those are not the same goal. 
A Moment of Perspective
Last week, I attended a local St. Patrick’s Day parade. A running club came through, and I found myself genuinely cheering them on. Running is not easy. It takes commitment, consistency, and effort. It can even be painful. But as they passed, as a Personal Trainer, I noticed something that stayed with me. None of the mature women had the “runner’s body” we often associate with the sport—lean, slender, almost effortless in appearance. And that’s not a criticism. It’s a reality check. Because what we often expect from certain types of exercise… doesn’t always match what actually happens. Especially after 35. 
Most women over 35 aren’t doing the wrong things.
In fact, many are doing exactly what they’ve been told to do for years. They’re consistent. They show up. They walk. They do cardio. And yet… their body doesn’t change. If anything, it feels like progress has stalled. This can be frustrating—especially when you’re putting in the effort. But the issue usually isn’t discipline. It’s strategy. |
