Panama City Muscle & Ministry

Be intentional 

We were asked to set an intention before the Fighting Elements session at sync summit 2024. What did I personally want to get out of the session?

I wanted to focus and improve on technique.

During the session, I got the greatest compliment and feedback from the amazing ..."Perfect technique"

I was and still am stunned. So thankful for the chance to learn with the amazing sytong nation family.

Practicing with intention matters and guides you towards your goals.

As someone who loved to do the fieldwork and dig into the scientific literature but just doesn't have the time anymore with three kids. I love following those that devour the science and are in the field working on the things that are going to make us healthier. She is one of them. Check this video of her out.

Muscle loss & menopause/aging — writing about feels like writing the intro to the scariest story you’ve ever seen. Yes this isn’t the narrative and marketing I’m seeing outside of our small niche. With a hyper swing of gentle only movements for females across the lifespan, at fear of weight gain OR fear of intensity — we’re really missing the mark. 👉🏻 Let me be clear: starting where you are at is FINE! Lower barrier resistance training is fine to start with! And lifting doesn’t need to be fancy or require a gym or expensive equipment. And Pilates or yoga can have a place within a program complimenting this. Don’t twist my words 😉 But the marketing swing of only promoting light weights to become smaller by losing muscle or only using low load body weight styles of training may not be enough (outside of some exceptions of course which may support this in an overall plan like calisthenics, your body weight being heavy for you, upper body iso, reformer). 💪🏻 Muscle needs LOAD aka tension and VOLUME (reps x sets x weights) to grow. Muscle starts to decline as early as 30 unless we slow / prevent it through lifting / activity — and this aging process is sped up with menopause. Resulting in poor body composition, declines in metabolism, increase metabolic health risks, increase fall risk, and yes further fat gain due to a feedback loop between weight gain and muscle loss in people who aren’t actively working against this here. I understand and sympathize with women’s fear around gaining fat, especially in the stomach, which is painted as the worst thing in the world. And leads us to do a lot of things to prevent this. But reducing lifting load or volume or intensity should not be one. Better lifting programs should be the approach here 🤍. Complimented with adequate protein and yes complimenting cardio which is another post for another day. I really encourage and ask fitness coaches especially “female coaches” “women specialists” promoting this stuff — is your approach to programming really serving your audience or clients long term health? Or a quick fix desire to be small and thin and potentially fragile due to this. Because this stuff is important.

You can't expect change if you don't apply any effort ❤️❤️❤️

You can do it....you were made for connection, you were made to move.

Need help? I'd love to help you improve your body and spirit.

“So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” ‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬ #faithwithoutworksisdead #obediencetogod #readyourbible #truechristianity #notareligion
