I did Cori’s personal training after giving birth to my daughter and fell into postpartum depression. Her training helped me lose 30lbs and feel better about myself. Thanks Cori!
It's all you beastette! I'm honored always to get to help, but it is you that puts in the work, runs with all of the tools and reflects on your mindsets to move forward! YOU ARE STRONG AND AMAZING!
I couldn't agree more! As soon as you said "Prioritise protein" as was like "yes!!! Exactly" I started Prioritising my protein intake a few months ago and the results are insane. At 41 years of age I feel amazing. Thank you for your videos, you have been very insightful during my fitness journey ❤
For sure all about finding our balance and knowing that habits in one form don't work for everyone. We must find our variations to match our needs and goals.
The planning of recovery activities! I tend to go until I hit a wall and then crash. I think planning recovery activities might help with this. Thank you for posting!
YES! That proactive planning so it isn't even feeling bad about "needing" it can be so key and keep us training harder and feeling more motivated consisistently!
Love those!! I would love to know more about the macro cycling and how to use it and its benefits! I am not sure if I fully understood the point being made here... Also: THANK YOU SO MUCH for gettingt straight to the topic of the video rather than doing a extended intro - so appreciated!!
Cori this is a great video. Love the subtle changes we can make i.e. different proteins, subtle changes to workout trainings, taking breaks. All of these things make consistency easier to do . Thank you for this. Keep them coming!!❤❤😊😊
YES! They help us find our lifestyle balance and even embrace evolution over time while staying focused on the fundamentals and how we can use them to our advantage!
A million thanks to you Cori for your constant inspiration to soooo many! 🤗😘I have learned so much from you and have made significant changes that have given me excellent results that have proven to be very beneficial 👏💫
I’m with you on not labeling foods as bad. I’m also not a fan of being hungry and having no energy. Every time I have a friend who’s losing weight they will say “I’m only eating this many calories “ for no reason. Then they’re starving and they binge. If I want a cookie I’m going to have a cookie. I have one cookie or two scoops of yummy frozen yogurt and I’m good, no binge. And I’m not eating junk just because it’s there. I’ve changed my language around food. Instead of saying “ I can’t eat that.” I say “I’m not eating that.” Believe it or not, it helps.
Wow…I thought I was alone on bad eating habits but now I get it; thank you! Everyone experiences the same thing. It’s great that I’m not the only one who experiences this. Thanks Cori!!
We are not alone in our struggles! Always key we step back to reflect on what is going on and what we can do to make one small change! And reaching out to even ask for support can be so helpful! It's why I even love my Facebook community!
Great video! I have 2 small pups and bought a double dog leash on Amazon for when I walk both pups at the same time. It attaches to one leash and doesn’t tangle. Game changer!
I really enjoy your videos. They help me a lot to stay on track. Could you please share how you cooked the chicken at 3:42? The color looks delicious. Oh and the meat at 3:52 as well if possible. Greetings from Germany
I find it hard to take a break ... I always feel guilty, always feeling that I should be doing something active. Thanks for the advice and motivation. Great video
Totally get it! It's why I like to find things I can do that are still "breaks" from other things! Even PLANNING out my next progression and ratio on a deload week helps me do something while taking that much needed break. And when you come back feeling stronger, you find them more and more worth it!
Really cool to see the progress you have made over the years Cori! 💪 Thanks for the tips! I’ve gained some fat over the past few months, so I going to try and prep my meal plan the day before to try and get my abs back!
Thanks for the video. The one about taking breaks and proactive recovery is key; don't wait until injury or burnout. By the way, what is all of that cool music in the background?
Just concentrating on calories and protein was the most helpful bit for me, I'm at a point where I need to get a bit more protein into my diet but am dreading juggling all the macros but just concentrating on those two ( at least to begin with ) makes it much less intimidating and simpler. Thank you!
Hi Cory. Have you ever done a video about the challenges of training and nutrition when one's partner and friends don't do anything healthy? For me, it's a real challenge and stumbling block.
It is definitely a challenge as it is part of our environment. And I don't have a specific video yet about it. But I can tell you working with clients, and even personally, part is being VERY upfront about what you want, staying true to you, and not being afraid to own it and ask for what you need of even them. Often push back from others is their own fears or insecurities or not wanting you to change because they fear you're judging them. And then adjust how you even celebrate with family if you need. Invite them out to things YOU want to do that support your lifestyle while creating some new community around the habits you enjoy. We can't change others...we can only change ourselves and control what we can control.
You're a pal for responding so thoughtfully. It can be lonely. At the end of the day I do what makes me happy and try my best to keep my nutrition and training on track. One simple thing, per your suggestions, I always track my protein. Thanks again.
Thank you Cori. I know for me i cant be trusted so i dont do the 80 20 rule. I will fall off the wagon. I plan my weeks food and shop accordingly so everything is in the house for me to cook for the week. Ive changed my habit of cake or biscuits with my nightime coffee to a yoghurt. The only thing im fightened of is doing weights. My doctor has given me a goal of 10kg loss by Christmas. Started 14th August and just under 7kg down. So should hit his goal. I want to start weights to tone and i know im not going fo turn into a beef cake, but i think the scales will go up. Am i right in thinking that using 3, 5, 7kg dumbells? Cant wait to hit 10kg. Means im halfway to my goal. Or 2 bag of potatoes down. 2 to go lol
Love that you know yourself and your triggers even to create your balance. Truly is key! Keep on rocking those results and focus on the habits. Rushing scale changes can mean risking losing more muscle over just fat. Focus on those inches lost and fueling as you lift! And while lifting to start can be scary, build up slowly and even find someone to guide you. I always have my coaching if you need even ;-)
@@redefiningstrengthOC Thank you Cori. Im a ex gym bunny so all good. Just dont want to see that scale go up when i start doing weights. I can hear my old PT. Scales dont give you the full picture.
Can someone explain macros to me please? I think cori said macro cycling, I don't know what this is. I'm very disheartened with my fitness journey currently
Do not get down! See this as a chance to learn something new and make small changes that pay off. Here are two resources to help you learn more about macros (macronutrients) or how adjusting the portions of proteins, carbs and fats we consume can help.... What are macros: redefiningstrength.com/macro-tracking-for-beginners-3-macro-tracking-mistakes?sl=yc Beginner's Guide: redefiningstrength.com/the-beginners-guide-to-macros/?sl=yc
That for me has been key not only to feel organized the next day but even improve my sleep. And it can be a great time to even plan out meal prep as part of the process!
Finding your balance is key :-) And the more we demonize things, the more we often want them and sabotage ourselves or feel guilty for eating them. For me sometimes including "non food" allows me to be more consistent in also including quality fuel :-) While enjoying life!
Yes. I practice what I preach and I'm human. But I don't consider them to be bad things to do. More just life balance and life is a constant balancing act. The thing is I've EMBRACED my humanness and created consistency over YEARS. So often we try to out "perfect" time and that just doesn't happen. And thinking we have to be perfect or do more is honestly what so often sabotages us.

That is fantastic. I really hope you have recovered fully. Sending ❤

Love your no BS, cut right to the chase approach. Great advice.
Thank you! So glad the video helps!

So glad they help! And yes! Protein truly is so key!
I think that relaxing a little bit is as important as tracking and planning ahead, find the balance between the two
For sure all about finding our balance and knowing that habits in one form don't work for everyone. We must find our variations to match our needs and goals.

# 8 & 9 are Very unique & So clever..THANK YOU!
I'm so glad they help! Owning who we are and what we need truly is key!
Great videos. Great coach. Thank you, Cori! ❤
Thank you on both counts! So glad they help!

YES! You're choosing what matches your goals and deciding to include or not include something based on your balance! Love it!
Always the best advice! And nails on point ❤❤
hehe thanks on all counts!

Love that! The two definitely going different directions can be interesting at times!
I really enjoy your videos. They help me a lot to stay on track. Could you please share how you cooked the chicken at 3:42? The color looks delicious. Oh and the meat at 3:52 as well if possible. Greetings from Germany
Chicken is oven roasted the steak was on the grill then chopped up. But the lean flank steak is what really makes the grill char so amazing!
Thank you 🎉
I find it hard to take a break ... I always feel guilty, always feeling that I should be doing something active. Thanks for the advice and motivation. Great video

I feel like habit #9 could be life changing. I’m starting that tonight!
I found it super key personally. Hope it truly does help you too!
Really cool to see the progress you have made over the years Cori! 💪 Thanks for the tips! I’ve gained some fat over the past few months, so I going to try and prep my meal plan the day before to try and get my abs back!
Maybe a little mini cut to kickstart things then back in that groove even if you set some minimums!
Could be a great idea Cori!
Thanks for the video. The one about taking breaks and proactive recovery is key; don't wait until injury or burnout. By the way, what is all of that cool music in the background?
Yes! Being proactive is so important and really assessing how we're feeling. And the music...I have no idea haha Ryan picks it out!
Thank you very much Cori

YES! Giving ourselves one change to make helps us get started and builds that momentum. And protein truly does have such a positive impact!

WoooHOOOOO !!!! OREO/TWINKIE/CHEEZEBALL SANDWICH !!!!!!! (NOW we're cookin' ! )
🤣 The chocolate cheese puff combo may have been better 😝

I think I will try the brain dump at night. I can combine it with a journalling practice that I struggle to complete.
Awesome! Perfect combo to set intentions, celebrate wins and go to bed relaxed!
Reflection breaks ❤
They're truly so key!

Following, I have the same question. Thank you.
Brain dump before bed - that is a key one for me. I often wake up without a plan and end up with unconscious eating and too much "couch potato" time.
That for me has been key not only to feel organized the next day but even improve my sleep. And it can be a great time to even plan out meal prep as part of the process!
Okay I agree that there are no bad "foods".
That being said Twinkies, Oreos, cheese puffs, etc are NOT food!
Finding your balance is key :-) And the more we demonize things, the more we often want them and sabotage ourselves or feel guilty for eating them. For me sometimes including "non food" allows me to be more consistent in also including quality fuel :-) While enjoying life!

Please be honest: Do you REALLY overeat sometimes? Do you REALLY snack treats? Serious question.
Yes. I practice what I preach and I'm human. But I don't consider them to be bad things to do. More just life balance and life is a constant balancing act. The thing is I've EMBRACED my humanness and created consistency over YEARS. So often we try to out "perfect" time and that just doesn't happen.

@@redefiningstrengthOC Thank you.
Prioritize Protein 140 gms a day!
LOVE IT!
I'm here for the fluffy puppy at the video end! 😂 🐕
Kiwi and Sushi are the stars!
Great advice! Thank you!
So glad it helps!
