170. Body Recomp: Key Mindset Shifts for Long-term Change

Your mindset plays a VITAL role in achieving success across many areas of life. It’s no different with your fitness - especially when it comes to body recomposition!

Embarking on a body recomp journey requires some DEEP mindset shifts. I’m not going to sugarcoat it - it can be a major undertaking, and you will have some mindf*ck moments along the way!

I believe it’s important that you understand the deep, psychological changes that come with shifting your focus from just fat loss, to building muscle and supporting your long-term health. 

Your progress is going to look completely different from others who are doing body recomp. But…it’s important that you focus on YOUR goals, wins, and understand that this is going to take way longer than a 30 or 60 day challenge (but it will be sooo worth it)!

I hope this episode resonates with you and encourages you to consider the possibilities with body recomp. This is about being your healthiest, happiest, and most confident self for the long- term. YOU are in control, which is a beautiful thing!!
