The scale barely budged, despite a dramatic body composition change.

How Much Difference Can 90 Days Make? You Won't Believe This--I Didn't!

Guess what month this is.......?!

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon recently announced that November is National "Muscle Health" Month.

Here's what she had to say:

"Muscle is the Organ of Longevity®.

It's the only organ you can voluntarily control.

It's your metabolic powerhouse, your body armor against disease, and it determines whether you thrive or simply survive as you age.

Yet most people are losing muscle every single year without knowing it.

That's why l'm excited to announce that November is officially National Muscle Health Month - because the Muscle-Centric movement isn't just about building strength.

It's about changing how we think about muscle entirely.

We've spent decades focusing on what to lose.

It's time to focus on what to build."

Amen!

If you or someone you know thinks it's too late, I have a story for you..

About 3 months ago, a lovely 78-year-old woman joined TrainSmarter.

"Petite" doesn't do her justice. Despite her tiny build, I could tell she could be a mighty, determined force.

We had lots of work to do--postural issues, a history of shoulder and back pain, and her muscle mass was extremely low.

The InBody machine said she needed to gain over 18# of muscle!

She came in to work out twice a week. Despite her weakness, she never shied away from lifting weights that were heavy for her.

Always with her sweet smile and can-do attitude....

Last week, she came in for her 90-day check-in.

Honestly, I was nervous when she stepped on the scale. It had only been 3 months, and she was starting from such a great deficit.

I was afraid it hadn't been long enough for her to have made a significant change, and didn't want her to be disappointed.

She stepped on the scale.

Her weight was up one-tenth of a pound.

Now I was REALLY nervous......

My heart sank… until I saw the printout:

  • 📉Body fat percentage dropped 6%.

  • 💥4.2 pounds of muscle gained!

  • ❤️Visceral fat (the dangerous kind) dropped from 11 to 8 — now in the healthy range.

To her great credit, back in the summer, she'd been feeling weak and decided to do something about it.

Her protein was dialed in. She simply needed to add a serious, consistent strength training component.

✨ It's never too late to get stronger.

✨ It's never too late to turn your ship around with healthy habits.

✨ There's still time to create a life you love!

The difference between guessing and seeing real results is a science-backed plan and accountability. Our 78-year-old client’s success wasn't luck.

It was strategy.

If you're ready to see dramatic changes in your body composition (muscle, fat, and visceral fat), you need the right data and the right coaching.
