NEW COURSE: How to Make Adulting Suck Less: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/suck-less/ Watch my TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE_7I6vDKrI In this episode I am breaking down why your twenties are genuinely the best time to build muscle and strength, what happens to your body if you wait until your thirties to start, and why this matters just as much for your mind as it does your body. I am also calling out the fears that keep you stuck on the cardio machines, the not knowing what to do, the fear of being judged, because spoiler, no one in that gym is watching you as closely as you think. And once we get your head in the right place, I am handing you the exact plan I use with my own clients so you can walk in with dumbbells and zero confusion about what to do. This is the why, the mindset, and the plan, all in one episode. Now go lift something. Key Takeaways: Why your twenties are the best decade to get started in the gym Waiting to lift weights comes at a cost The most common fears talking you out of going to the gym You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see results The simple framework to help you walk in the gym with a plan Consistency matters more than intensity Helpful Resources: How to stop spiraling: https://jessdiamondcoaching.com/spiral/ Let’s chat: https://calendly.com/coach_jessdiamond/success Email me: coach.jessdiamond@gmail.com Contribute to an episode: https://forms.gle/QwvBrZFbZXRdCjQv9 Be a Guest: https://forms.gle/oiLVCbrydjzaK5pq5 Music: Hide and Seek by Free Music https://soundcloud.com/fm_freemusic Music Promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons/Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
