Feeling stuck with your fitness goals? You're not alone.

Maybe you just started working out and the scale hasn't moved much, even though you're building better habits. Or maybe you've been training consistently for a while and your progress has started to slow down.

And what happens when you've actually reached the goal you were working toward? Do you maintain where you're at or find something new to work toward?

In this episode of the Rise Personal Training Podcast, we're talking about how to recognize progress beyond the scale, work through plateaus, and know when it's time to reevaluate your goals.

Sometimes you need to make adjustments to your training or nutrition, and other times you just need to give yourself more time.

Crash diets might give you a lower number on the scale, but that doesn’t always mean better results.

In this episode, we’re talking about what can happen when you take dieting too far. Extreme calorie restriction can make it harder to fuel your workouts and maintain muscle, which can leave you with InBody results that don’t look the way you expected.

Losing weight and improving your body composition aren’t always the same thing.

If you want results that actually last, the goal shouldn’t be to eat as little as possible. It should be finding an approach you can maintain while continuing to train, build or maintain muscle, and feel good doing it.
