LF #155: The soreness myth, creatine, collagen, & magnesium
Happy Friday!
🔎 What’s Inside
Lose weight without being sore every day
Creatine
Collagen
Magnesium
The soreness myth
Busy parents: you don’t need to be sore every day to lose weight.
A good workout = sore afterwards is a gym-bro myth.
Normal soreness:
First 1-2 weeks of exercise
First time increasing weight for a movement
A new movement you haven’t done before
Abnormal soreness:
Every day after exercise
Every week when exercising
Every year when you exercise
Instead, try this 10-minute workout block that helps you show up each day.
10-minute workout block:
Set a timer for 1 minute
Do 8-10 reps of a movement (push-ups, squats, swings)
Stop when you’re done
Rest for the remainder of the minute
Repeat 10x
This is the main workout block. Add 2-3 movements afterwards.
This 10-minute block won’t burn fat by itself.
But it makes consistency easier.
Consistency + the right food plan = fat loss.
I’ve had clients drop 10-30+ pounds and 2-4x their max using this method without daily soreness.
If you want to lose weight and not be sore every day, check out Kickstart40.
🔎 Finds
Here are my favorite finds/resources this week.
Creatine adds energy, helps recovery, and can reduce muscle tightness.
As a supplement, it’s an optimizer.
If you’re already exercising, walking, stretching, and getting rest, consider adding it.
Collagen is a protein that helps skin, connective tissue, bones, and muscles.
If you’re already cutting sugar/refined carbs, and eating meats, veggies, and fruits, you might not need it.
Magnesium is a mineral that regulates calcium levels, blood sugar, helps produce protein, and 300+ other things for your body.
If you’re already eating veggies, legumes, and whole grains, you might not need it.
Before you go!
Kickstart40 helps busy parents lose 10-15 pounds in 40 days, without going to the gym.
I cannot guarantee that your friends and family will be shocked at how different you look and feel.
But you will make lots of progress.
And… if you follow Kickstart40 and don’t lose 10 pounds in 40 days, you get your $ back.
I’ll see you next week.
Be strong,
Don
