EPISODE 5 SHOW NOTES

I’m very excited to welcome my very first guest, Christine Lavopa, onto the podcast today!

Christine is a certified personal trainer, health and wellness coach, former fitness competitor turned military spouse, and mom of two kids. She’s created a business and coaching program that is geared towards busy moms, because that is who she is (and she gets it!) Christine helps moms by using a whole body approach with time-saving fitness, sustainable nutrition, habits, and a positive mindset.

 

In this episode, we’re talking about sustainable strength training and ditching the all or nothing mentality, as well as:

• Christine’s background in the health and fitness space
• What Christine’s postpartum fitness routine was like after having her first baby and her husband being deployed
• Finding a balance with workouts that you actually enjoy + fit into your day and season of life
• How Christine helps her clients set realistic goals (especially with strength training)
• Christine’s 8-year-long battle with an eating disorder
• Helping clients who have the ‘all or nothing’ mentality with their health and fitness
• How much cardio is beneficial on a weekly basis
• Helping clients with a successful calorie deficit when they’re ready
• The importance of actually changing your habits and mindset for the long-term

 Sustainable strength training, getting out of the all or nothing mentality, and building positive habits and mindset for life IS possible.

I truly loved having Christine on the show; SO much goodness and wisdom is packed into this episode! I definitely resonate with her approach to fitness, and how she is helping her clients. 

Christine and I both believe that your best investment will always be your health, and ultimately, it comes down to unlocking the right habits and mindset for you.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
