Workouts don’t fix your body 😳

Most women over 40 think the key to weight loss is "moving more" in the gym. But as I show in this video, the math doesn't add up. 📉

If you are killing yourself in spin class but ignoring the rest of your day, you are missing 95% of the picture.

I used a cake to visualize exactly how your body burns energy (TDEE), and the "Exercise" slice is shockingly small.

In this video, I break down the 4 ways you actually burn calories:
1. Exercise (5%): The smallest part. Stop treating your workout as a punishment for what you ate. It's mathematically impossible to "out-train" a bad diet.
2.Digesting Food (10-15%): The energy used to digest food. Pro Tip: Protein burns roughly 30% of its calories just to digest, which is why high-protein diets work.

3. Daily Movement (20%): Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. Steps, walking, fidgeting. This burns 4x more calories than your gym session!

4. Metabolism (The 60-70%!!): Your baseline metabolism. This is the energy you burn just existing.

The Lesson?
Train for strength, health, and mental clarity. But if you want to lose fat, focus on the other 95% too!

Eat more protein, get your steps up, and stop stressing over the calorie counter on your watch.
