(This is a re-run of Ep 69. Originally aired on May 12, 2023.)

Today, I answer a common question many people have when starting their fitness journey: What should you do first to get results on your body recomposition? Should you focus on losing fat, building muscle, or doing both at the same time?

I discuss seven common scenarios and share a 6-12 month plan for each scenario. You can choose the best approach based on your goals, starting point, and personal preferences. Plus, I'll share some common mistakes people make when pursuing their fitness goals, so you can avoid them and stay on track. I also recommend an app that is particularly helpful for tracking your macros, making it easier to manage your nutrition goals.

Today you’ll learn all about:

  • Six to ten weeks maintenance phase, establishing your habits
  • Common mistakes
  • Scenario 1: You need to lose 10-20 Lbs
  • Scenario 2: You need to lose 20-40 Lbs
  • Scenario 3: You need to lose 40-50-60 Lbs or more
  • Scenario 4: You're at the lower end of skinny-fat
  • Scenario 5: You're untrained and lean
  • Scenario 6: You're trained and lean
  • Scenario 7: You're trained and hitting the upper limit of your body fat
