WEEK 6: DAY 3 · WEDNESDAY
REGULAR MACRO DAY + STRENGTH TRAINING
Halfway through the week - I really can't believe that we are in the LAST Wednesday of this program - can you!?!?
I know y'all are excited to break your fast with some CARBS this morning!
Also plan to get in a good strength training workout at some point today. Today we’ve got a total body workout to do and it’s a great opportunity to challenge yourself. By working multiple muscle groups at once, we are engaging in maximum calorie burn and muscle building effects!
“WHAT WEIGHTS DO I USE?”
This is something I’m asked alllll the time! When doing the movements, choose a weight that allows you to complete the exercise with proper form but still challenges you. If you get to the end of a set - and you could continue on with no problem, it may be time for you to increase the weights used a little bit. We need to continually challenge our muscles in order for them to grow.
I recommend trying to find at least 2 days a week to incorporate some type of strength training! Whether it’s at home or in a gym. You can also literally use anything in your house to give you some type of weight if you don’t have dumbbells or workout equipment (we had a client who used an INSTANT POT a few weeks ago for weights... no judgement here lol!!)
PS.. I love the bands we have in the FASTer Way shop:

I am SO EXCITED so many of you are rolling into VIP. It's going to be such a great month - and I am SO excited! Let's talk a little more about the meal guides you will get in VIP Membership.
Hopefully you have taken full advantage of the meal guides in the FASTer Way already (and I also will continue to send you all the weekly meal guides for inspiration I create!!) You will continue to have access to this amazing resource in VIP as well. Each week is a new meal guide to provide you with inspiration.
Occasionally in VIP, we switch up the food cycle to help our bodies resist plateau. The meal guides inform you about the food cycle for the upcoming week, provide you with a grocery list, AND offer a daily breakdown of meals for you and your family to enjoy.
With this incredible resource, you’ll stay tight on your macros and continue to reach your nutrition goals. Be on the lookout for an email each Friday in VIP for the upcoming week’s meal guides and in your VIP app under resources!
