Depending upon your needs and goals, you don't always have to increase the weight to get a training effect. . In this case, I'm using an offset load to dynamically challenge the core during a suitcase deadlift. . . My body naturally wants to laterally flex and rotate, which I have to resist. . . #suitcasedeadlift #wednesdayworkout #deadlift #exerciseoftheday #betterway #exercisetips #vitalifit #educate #engage #empower #mensfitness #womensfitness

Taking care of yourself or desiring to better yourself is the antithesis of “self-hate”…

A client with obesity confided in me saying she feels guilty for wanting to lose weight.

That. Is. Wrong.

You can love yourself AND want to lose weight/be healthier.

They are not mutually exclusive.
