Let's give a shoutout to our very own, Danni!! 👏
👉 In 7 months, here’s what she achieved:
✅ Dropped body fat from 28.5% → 23.0%
✅ Lost over 7 lbs of fat mass
✅ Gained over 3 lbs of lean muscle
✅ Increased bone density by 2.7%
P.S. give us a follow for more awesome content 😉
🔥 These results didn’t happen overnight — they came from steady, consistent effort (even when life got busy).
If you’re thinking about getting back into a routine, or just figuring out where to start, here’s what I want you to know:
👉 You don’t need a perfect plan to get results.
But you do need to avoid the traps that derail most people.
Here are 3 common mistakes we see (and what to do instead):
1️⃣ Trying to outwork inconsistency
A lot of people think they need to “go all in” or crush every workout.
But the people who get the best results? They’re the ones who show up the most consistently.
👉 Instead: Focus on consistency over intensity. Even a short workout on a busy day counts.
2️⃣ Skipping strength training
It’s easy to default to cardio. But strength training is key for fat loss, energy, injury prevention, and building a stronger body.
👉 Instead: Add 2–3 strength sessions a week. It doesn’t need to be long — dumbbells or bodyweight works!
3️⃣ Changing plans too often
Jumping from one plan to the next keeps you stuck in “start over” mode. Your body needs time to adapt.
👉 Instead: Stick with a plan for 8–12 weeks before switching. Progress takes patience.
