Yellow-squirrels' progress
Yellow-squirrels, a Reddit user, recently shared her weight loss journey where she lost 4 lbs over a period of six months by incorporating strength training into her routine. Yellow-squirrels was not focused on extreme weight loss, but she was more interested in the recomping and toning of her body.
Strength training routine
Yellow-squirrels attributes her success to her strength training routine, which she follows through a Peloton bike online lesson. Her focus is not just losing weight, but rather building muscle, and this is the reason why she has successfully lost 4 lbs while working out.
Different body types
Yellow-squirrels’ journey is a reminder that the way our bodies carry weight is unique to individual people. Despite weighing 113lbs at the start, Yellow-squirrels had always been self-conscious about her body shape since most of her weight was carried on her hips and butt. To her surprise, these are the same features that gained her compliments from people during and after her 6-month journey.
Not just about weight
Yellow-squirrels focused on body recomping rather than solely weight loss. This is a great lesson for anyone looking to achieve a fit, healthy body while still maintaining their preferred shape. Focusing on the overall composition of your body can lead to success, rather than a sole focus on weight.
Lessons learned
Yellow-squirrels' journey to success was not about becoming lean and slim but rather recomping and toning her body. The user’s journey is a great reminder of the power of strength training, and how it can elevate our bodies to new heights. Don’t be afraid to try new things when it comes to fitness, especially when it can lay the groundwork for a fit, strong body that you can be proud of.
