Transcript

Beth: We're always got this mentality of taking things away when it comes to working towards whether it's growing glutes or dropping body fat. Whereas I would like to encourage women to think about adding things in. So I would say make sure that you are eating enough protein per day. Like if you're wanting to build your glutes and build muscle, it's really crucial that you're eating enough protein per day. A general rule that I go for is you want to be trying to consume 1.5 to 2 times your body weight in protein. So easy math. Let's say you weigh 60 kilograms. If you doubled that, it would be 120 grams of protein per day. You know, you don't need to be tracking your calories and macros. Just try to look at your main meals that you're having in the day and try to make sure you're getting in a decent amount of protein in each of those meals. That's going to really help you build muscle and help you build your glutes.

Elise: Hello, I'm Elise and this is the inspiring her podcast. It's all about you here. Your wellness, your nourishment, your lifestyle and finding that unstoppable glow. I'm bringing you conversations with my guests and friends to spark change in your health, embrace your power and live your best life. Get ready to be inspired, uplifted and empowered as we chat about the tips and tools that will light up your journey to a vibrant, glowing you. I say this every episode, but you guys are just going to love this conversation. Not only was it super chill and just really, really felt like I was sitting down and catching up with a friend and I know that that vibe is going to translate to you too. It was just such an informative and interesting conversation with Beth, who is a body composition and lifestyle coach. She has owned a gym here that I have been to and has also recently started the Busy but Balanced program for busy women and mums who are looking at changing their body composition and growing their glutes. That fits into a lifestyle. That is what we all have these days. In our chat today, we talked about various aspects of fitness, particularly focusing on strength training for women. After my most recent episode on strength training, you guys were really keen to chat more about this, which is why I thought you would absolutely love Beth. Beth helps us debunk the common myths about strength training and how you might feel like you're going to get bulky. We talk about the importance of nutrition and mindful eating rather than tracking calories we also explore different challenges that women face in maintaining a healthy routine and building muscle and finding that tone physique that we all really want to have. I loved our focus in this conversation about achieving fitness goals without adding in stress of strict dieting or calorie counting and focusing more on movement and mindfulness when it comes to a routine that suits our bodies. Beth has such awesome insights in this conversation because, as I said, she is a personal trainer, a coach, and she has actually competed before in weightlifting. So you're going to love this conversation, and I can't wait. So let's just jump straight in. I would love to start with the biggest myth about strength training for women. And I personally had this, like, in my head that if I strength train, I'm going to get bulky. You've trained hundreds of women, and actually, I found out recently that you've competed yourself.

Beth: I did for many years.

Elise: Like, I find that so interesting. So you can debunk this myth for us.

Beth: Yes. So I think a lot of women. And something that I will say is a lot of women say to me, oh, I want to get toned, right? I don't want to get bulky. I want to get toned. So I think it's good that we kind of look at that perspective. And what they're not understanding is, is to get toned, it simply means that you're going to be dropping body fat and gaining muscle at the same time, which achieves that toned look. Right. Improves the way that your body composition is. You feel more confident you can grow muscle in certain areas. Like, a lot of women obviously want to grow their glutes, and that's not possible without gaining strength and muscle. So I think a lot of women go, I'm going to lift weights like. Like men do, and I'm going to look like them and, you know, get. You know, get bulky when it's just simply, like, not the case. Like, I've lifted weights for, I think it's like, 14 years. And, I mean, if you look at me at the moment, you'd think I don't even lift, like, sometimes, you know, sometimes. But it is a lot harder for women to gain muscle. Like, we don't have the testosterone levels as men do, so, of course they're going to be able to grow muscle, you know, a lot quicker and a lot bigger than we are capable of doing. Um, but, yeah, a lot of the time as well, when it comes to the myth of, like, you don't want to get bulky is, you know, if you're following a program that's specific to your. Your goals that you have. Like, maybe your. Your individual goals is to grow your glutes and improve your arms, for example. Like, you can cater to those specific goals and, you know, without overly overloading certain muscle groups. Like, if you're just doing bicep curls and shoulders five days a week, then, yeah, you might get bigger muscle in your. In your shoulders. But if your program is well structured, you're going to be able to achieve that toned look that a lot of women are wanting. So, yeah, don't be afraid. Like, it's so hard to build muscle. It's really hard. And it's. If you want to get bulky, it's very hard to actually achieve in your.

Elise: Like, prime peak of competing.

Beth: Yeah.

Elise: Did you ever feel. You probably never felt bulky. You just felt really defined.

Beth: Yeah. So, like, back when I compete, like, this was before, like, my work schedule was really hectic and everything. So, like, my training and my nutrition was literally, like, my main priority and everything. So I would train like two hours a day, like, five days a week. Like, how is that possible? So, like, a lot of women as well, they would compare themselves. You know, even if I compare myself to my physique back then, like, I had a lot of muscle back then, and I'm not someone who can actually, I can build muscle, but I can also lose it if I'm not being consistent. And because I prioritize more, you know, training for movement and to enjoy and to feel good. And I've been busy with work. I haven't been able to maintain the amount of intensity of my training back then to when my muscle, you know, I did have a lot more muscle because I was training two hours a day, five days a week, and it was my main focus. So, yeah, I'd go through phases as I would gain body fate, body fat back where I would feel like, oh, because when you are very lean, I got down to, like, I think it was like 8% body fat. It's honestly so, so unhealthy. Like, I would never do it again. But you've got to go. You've got to go through it to learn, and I'm glad I can go through it so I can actually encourage women that that is not realistic and that is, like, not healthy. And, like, that's not representing health. Like, it's not impressive at all. So, yeah, when I would gain body fat back on top of the muscle that I would build, sometimes I'd be like, oh, I'm feeling a little bit uncomfortable. And I Go back into the cycle of dropping body fat again. So that's. That's kind of like where my early years.

Elise: That's really interesting. And I like that it's led you to this place of finding balance with it, because you're so right. It's not maintainable when you get to your 30s and whether you're in business or you've got family or you're working a really corporate job, whatever it is, and health and fitness might be a priority for you, but it's. It's too hard to maintain. You have just created the busy butt balanced, which is so clever.

Beth: Like, yeah, actually, my friend Kimmy. My friend Kimmy, actually, I'll give her credit, she's the one that was like, you should put two T's. So it's. But it was just going to be a normal. But I was like, that is so true. Do it. I'll do it.

Elise: It's really clever. It's catchy.

Beth: Oh, thank you. I feel so much more aligned to that. That's why, like, I made a bit of a change.

Elise: It is aligned. So for those listening, Beth used to have a gym just right near me called the Glute Academy. And it was such a great vibe. It was women going in. It was, you know, conversational, and you never felt intimidated. And there was a heavy focus on glutes. So I would love to know from your experience and with this new program, what would a week of healthy eating and training look like? If. If we want to create that peachy.

Beth: Booty, I would say the biggest mistake that women make, and we'll just start off with that. When it comes to, like, growing glutes. Like, glutes. Glutes being. The main goal is endlessly going through dieting phases and being in a calorie deficit. So if you're wanting to build muscle, like, your glutes are the biggest muscle in your body. If you're wanting to build muscle, need to be making sure that you're eating a decent amount of calories to not only, you know, fuel your sessions, but also fuel your recovery as well. And, you know, as women, like, especially, like in our day, like, we're taught, eat less to drop, like, eat less to drop body weight, like, you know, we should. We can't eat as much as men. And, like, you know, if you want to drop body fat and look good, you've got to eat less. It's always less, less, less. When I like to think about it as. Think about adding things into your diet. So, like, we're always got this, this mentality of taking things away when it comes to working towards whether it's growing glutes or dropping body fat. Whereas I would like to encourage women to think about adding things in. So I would say make sure that you are eating enough protein per day. Like if you're wanting to build your glutes and build muscle, it's really crucial that you're eating enough protein per day. A general rule that I go for is you want to be trying to consume 1.5 to 2 times your body weight in protein. So easy math. Let's say you weigh 60 kilograms. If you doubled that, it would be 120 grams of protein per day. You know, you don't need to be tracking your calories and macros. Just try to look at your main meals that you're having in the day and try to make sure you're getting in a decent amount of protein in each of those meals. That's going to really help you build muscle and help you build your glutes. The secondly, like I was saying, you know, you want to be trying to eat enough calories. We don't need to be always taking things away. So there's also a big myth there, like you need to be in a calorie surplus to build muscle. When I actually, like, don't really think that's true. Like you can just stick at maintenance calories, ensuring that you're eating enough calories, enough protein, making. Sure, obviously you've got a program that's specific to glute development and you can achieve some really great results. So you don't need to like being a calorie surplus to build your glutes. It's going to be beneficial if you want to like maximize and your progress as quick as possible, but it's not essential. And the last thing I would say is, like, you know, I'm not really big on supplements. I'm big on like eating whole foods and stuff. But there's a lot of studies to show the benefits of creatine, especially when it comes to building muscle strength and also recovery. So I about 3 grams of creatine per day.

Elise: Okay, interesting. So I have been trying to get to the gym three times a week to do a class of strength training. So. And they break it down into different body parts. So like upper body, full body or lower body? So if I was wanting to like define my glutes and legs, would you suggest doing like maybe two lower body classes and then one full body? Or, or do you think it's you can still get there if you're doing just all over body.

Beth: Honestly, like it's going to come down to ensuring that you are hitting all sectors of the glutes when you are training throughout your whole training volume throughout the week. So, you know, there's. Yeah, you could do upper, upper, lower splits, full body sessions. The main priority that you need to focus on is within your week. Just looking at as a week, I always look at things as the week. You know, it's a lot more realistic that way, ensuring that you're getting hitting all sectors of the glute. So you're doing bridge patterns, you're doing squat patterns, you're doing hinge patterns and I mean, this is a little bit more detail. I can. It'd be a little bit too intense to get into. You're doing abduction patterns. Um, that's going to be the main priority and then you can split those movement patterns over the three days as your personal preference. So, you know, some of my clients, like, I am a big lover of full body sessions because you're able to split the vol. Your training volume for glutes across three days, which is going to not only improve your recovery, but it's also going to allow your training performance to be really solid for those sets that you're doing that are for your glutes. So say, for example, you're doing a full lower body day. By the end of that session, your effort and intensity is probably not going to be the best as it would be if you could spread your glute training out throughout three days.

Elise: Such a good point.

Beth: Yeah, yeah. So, but you know, I'm someone who will always say to my clients, like, just like, if you prefer to do like what you said, at least do one upper, one lower, one full body. And that's what helps you show up to the gym and enjoy your training, then just do that. Like.

Elise: Yeah, I totally agree. You have to enjoy it and you have to do what works for you. Like, I still do a lot of Pilates and if I stop doing Pilates, then I always end up injuring myself.

Beth: Yeah. And that's what works for you.

Elise: Yeah, exactly. Someone else might be different and I love your perspective on that and that women have to really focus on that and train for what works for them.

Beth: Think about if we didn't have social media, how simple would it be?

Elise: Yes.

Beth: If you had one person, like, like it would be so simple, but there's just so much noise out there that makes us always go, oh, I'm not Doing the right thing. Like, if you're sticking at something for a decent amount of time, you'll get good results.

Elise: So, yes, commitment, I think, and consistency is huge. So how hard then? Or like, what are the timeframes that you would see in clients that have had success with you changing their body composition? And for someone who has no idea, like is coming in kindergart level, doesn't understand what body comp is and how they can change it. Can you explain it to us a little bit? Yeah.

Beth: So pretty much what I said about toning. So improving your body composition simply means that you're dropping body fat and gaining muscle at the same time. So therefore you're improving your overall physique. So, yeah, and that can be achieved through, obviously, strength training. A lot of my clients will actually just stick at maintenance calories, which means that they're consuming the same amount of calories to what they're experiencing spending. So they're not creating a calorie deficit and they're building muscle and therefore their physique, you know, improves. And that actually can be achieved, like, so easily. Like, if you like what you're saying before, at least. Consistency goes a long way. A lot of the time, women are jumping from program to program or just following workouts that they see or they save on Instagram. But if you really want to achieve, like a body recomposition, my biggest advice would be to stick to a structured program that aligns with your goals. So if you're wanting to improve your overall physique, maybe, you know, emphasize glutes, then I can help you that. But then you're going to want to make sure that your program aligns with those goals. A lot of women go wrong because their programs jumping following these Instagram workouts. They're not being consistent with the training program, but also their program may not be specific to their actual goals. So make sure your program is specific to your individual goals, and then you want to be tracking your workouts, obviously making sure you've got great technique, which comes with time. Not everyone's going to have great technique initially tracking your workouts and just focusing on trying to get stronger over time. And then following my advice that I said before with your nutrition, so get enough protein in, stick to maintenance calories, and then, you know, maybe supplement creatine, get enough whole foods in. I think your question and think circling back to it was how long it would take every. It's very individual because we're all, we've got different genetics and everything. So, like, I, I'VE seen some clients literally transform and like, you know, see great results in like six weeks, but they may have not had any experience with strength training or dieting ever before. So they're going to see the best results. So if you've never actually done strength training or never really implemented any nutrition protocols that are, you know, specific to build muscle, then you're going to be in a really great position to see some results sooner than later. Whereas, say, if I followed a program I've been training for 14 years, my, my pro, my progress is going to be really slow because I've already had those adapt. Adaptations. So. Yeah, so in terms of the time, it's going to be super dependent on genetics, obviously how consistent you are and your. Also your experience as well.

Elise: Yeah. And from what I've heard as well, it takes time for you to build that muscle and then once you've started to build that muscle that actually burns more fat. So that's when you'll see if you're sticking to your calories, as you say, just more of a. I get from you, it's more of like an intuitive eating focusing that you're getting on the protein but not putting the stress upon yourself of counting calories or macros. Yeah. But just doing those little tweaks. Maybe taking some creatine.

Beth: Exactly. It's all about being mindful with nutrition. Like in any women that are listening, that have heard like, you need to track your calories. I am not. A lot of coaches do that and I'll just say it because, you know, it's. They, they want to be able to go, oh, yeah, I want to be able to apply something to the client so that, you know, they're sticking with me and they're staying a client. Like, that's the fitness industry. Whereas like I, my approach is very much like. Because I've gone through a strict period of like six years of tracking, I haven't tracked in five years. I don't feel the need to. Yeah, because yeah, I know it. I'm actually tracking at the moment because I'm wanting to achieve like a good transformation. Now I've got a bit more time to focus on myself. But that's the thing you can implement tracking to, as a learning tool to maybe understand how much calories are in the food that you're consuming. A lot of people in general, not just women, are unaware of how many calories are in this, like the servings that they're having. You know, you're looking at the back of like, you know, A granola, for example, package, and you're seeing one serving size, 200 calories or whatever. But you could be actually serving yourself two. Two servings, yes. And that's, you know, where we go wrong. So tracking does have its place in terms of like education and helping create mindful eating. But you don't necessarily need to track to see great results. And I think if you can find an approach that's best for you that creates more freedom with food and you feel less stressed about it, then you're going to be able to stick to it. Because if you're feeling stressed out about your nutrition approach, it's going to be hard to sustain that long term.

Elise: And that especially for women as well. If we're in a state of stress, our cortisol is going to be heightened, we're going to hold on to weight, we're not going to let go of it. So on that topic, what would you say as well for us to be mindful of in terms of females training differently to men?

Beth: Females, we're so different to men. Like obviously men, a lot of women are like, oh, why can't we build muscle? Like the amount of testosterone that men have, like if we had the same amount of testosterone that they have, we would be able to build the same amount of muscle. But we simply a disadvantage and it's not fair. But you know, we're just completely different to men. And also obviously like the menstrual cycle, like we're gonna have to like, you know, cycle. I cycle most of my clients training and nutrition around their cycle. Our hormones are a lot different to men. That's really the main factor. And therefore, you know, our approach is going to be completely different. We can't recover as quick as they can again because of testosterone. We can't, you know, we're not going to be able to take on board the same amount of training volume as they're capable of doing. You know, we have to, we go through different phases in our menstrual cycle where it's really important to actually adjust your training around that to benefit not only your recovery, but your body. How you're feeling, like being kind self.

Elise: Like 100%, allowing yourself to, if you're really not feeling it, just take that as a recovery day. Do something nice for yourself if exactly. Go for a sauna or have a bath or maybe just go for a light walk instead. But don't put pressure.

Beth: Exactly. Like I think that's the thing we, a lot of women and I used to be like this not in tune with my body. I used to just be like, nah, you. I would just turn up to the gym and push myself to the point where I actually had hypothalamic amenorrhea and lose my period because I literally was not listening to my body. Whereas now I understand like I can't, my body can't take on as much sh. Stress as like men can. For example, like hypothermic amenorrhea without getting into it simply meant that I put too much stress on my body through training, mainly training and dieting to the point where I would lose my reproductive like, you know, system technically losing my period. So it's like, you know, my experience with that has really helped me realize like obviously it's so important to be in tune with your body and we're all different. Like some women can tolerate a lot more than others.

Elise: Yeah.

Beth: So like what you said at least like being able to go, okay, today I'm not feeling it. I still want to do some form of movement or self care. What is my go to? Like I always will say to my clients what you'll go to and something I'm building out with my, my upgrade to my online programs is on demand workout. So that you know, you may just want to do like I have my short but spicy online program which is obviously shorter. Like 30, 40 minute workouts which are designed to for busy girls who want to get better results in less time. But also sessions that are going to be machine only, low intensity so that maybe you do have your period. You're able to go through a training session that's going to be beneficial for that. A lot of women don't know but when you're, when you're, you know, you're during PMS and when you're actually on your period. Yeah. Your pelvis is very like, is very fragile. So a lot of the time women get sore sij joint which is like your lower back pain. So doing. Yeah, doing single leg exercises can actually make that worse. So. And I experienced that. So having programs that are available that are going to be just bilateral which means two legs down. You're not, you know, having any, you're not, you're not, you're not putting your body through any stability demands. You're going to recover better and feel better and get through the session more comfortably than if you were. Yeah, it's a lot into it actually.

Elise: That's really interesting. Actually. It's almost similar to pregnancy because I guess when you come to your bleed phase, there's a lot of progesterone. And when you're in pregnancy, you've got a lot of progesterone. So you have to be. Yeah, everything just kind of loosens up a hundred percent.

Beth: Yeah. Especially as you get to that third trimester. Like any women that I train through pregnancy, I would never have them doing any single leg stuff through that. It depends. Like, it's obviously dependent on if they're getting any back pain. I would prescribe it earlier, but not at all through the third trimester because you're. You're. The hips are opening up like they're becoming unstable to obviously birth a child, which is insane that we can do that. But if you're then putting stability demands, like, and trying to load unilaterally, which means single leg, that is going to create like, discomfort and it's. Yeah. Increased risk of injury.

Elise: Like, I love that you shared that because there's a friend of mine in the gym and every time she's coming to her period, she's like, oh, I've got really bad back pain. And. Yeah, well, this is what hap. This is what's happening. Like, maybe just tone it down a little.

Beth: I'm the same. Like, I like my sij joint flares up. So, yeah, I'll just do. So for example, if you're going to do a Bulgarian split squat, you could just do a leg press where both legs are planted.

Elise: Interesting. Okay.

Beth: Yeah. Or like it's the same squat pattern. You just switch the pattern. So again, that's why I'm working on this upgrade for my program, so that you have. My girls have the ability just to do a quick swap, like exercise swap if need be.

Elise: That is brilliant. We need more of that. I can't wait.

Beth: We need that. Yeah, we do. But it's all about learning over time. Like, I've obviously been a coach for like 13 years. Like, a lot of coaches don't know this stuff as well because one, like, they're only training themselves. But like, you learn through like, the masses of coaching, like how diverse women are as well.

Elise: So that's beautiful. And you're obviously meant to do it because you. It takes a certain type of person to take on those learnings and listen and evolve based on your clients and what they've experienced. So you should be proud of that.

Beth: Oh, thank you very much.

Elise: I also love how inspiring you are, your mindset. And we were just talking off Mike before we started about your move to Bali and how you really good place and you're feeling really motivated Jumping into new challenges and things. So do you, for you personally, do you believe that strength training helps your healthy mindset?

Beth: I definitely think like, I mean, like, I have literally thrown myself in the deep end with so many projects and businesses and things over time. But before I kind of started doing that, that's when I was really obviously deep in my strength training and you know, obviously doing all the comps and stuff like that. It taught me a lot of deep discipline and taught me a lot of good habits and also taught me that I can achieve things and to always back myself. Like, I remember like when I used to do the comps, I always would journal. It's something that I always do. And I remember one day writing in my journal like, this is like lame, but like, it's not lame, it's, it's iconic. I was writing like I was manifesting and writing like, you know, you're gonna win whatever. And then the next day, like, you know, I win the overall bikini champion. I look back and I'm like, you know, always have self belief. So like, yeah, I think it definitely helps women in general. You have to go to that, that, you know, level. But the confidence that you get from strength training and feeling strong and feeling empowered, like is going to transfer positively into other aspects of your life. Like, I think it's, yeah, definitely helped with me and my drive to push myself and have the self belief to.

Elise: Do too many things sometimes I think it puts a.

Beth: Do hard things.

Elise: I see, yeah, do hard things, but it puts like a numerical value on it. So you're able to see, okay, well I lifted this today and next week I lifted this. Or you know, and you can actually see that physical increase as well.

Beth: Exactly.

Elise: Especially for you having competed, you've seen that you were able to build muscle and that may not be where you are now, but it's taught you that you can literally physically achieve hard things. So your mind is strong enough also to achieve.

Beth: Exactly. But like life is something I'll always say is like life is always about adaptation. Yeah, like adaptation. Like if you think about doing hard things, like for example, anyone listening right now, Think about the first time you, you stood in the gym. Probably nervous. I was the same, you know, but over time you adapt and then you're able to push yourself more and then you're able to push yourself more. And that's what I've done obviously with my career and business and whatnot. I've been able to slowly adapt over time. And you know that and, and then you build that Momentum of being able to, you know, do more or challenge yourself more or back yourself more and have that self belief to, you know, go after things that you want to go after and whatnot. Because you're building that momentum with, you know, how you adapt.

Elise: Yeah, 100%. Well, that's just all such great practical information. I love that you shared so many things that we can actually start implementing on a week by week basis to help us in our journeys with fitness and mindset.

Beth: You're so welcome.

Elise: What's coming up for you? Tell us what, what can we look out for?

Beth: Well, I'm currently living in Bali, which was not planned, but, you know, just going along with life and what I feel is right for myself. But I'm in the process of doing an upgrade for my online programs which is going to be like obviously my busy balanced programs. So I'm actually taking, I'm actually building out a new app. It's not my own like app, but it's customized to what I'm wanting. So it's going to mean like so many more upgrades to what I'm currently offering. So like, all in the one place, all in one app. Training programs on demand workouts. Like I said, you'll have access to like, oh, today I just want to do a light session. You can choose that and, you know, modify it to your needs, nutrition habits, which is something I'm really big on. A lot of people I won't get into it, but a lot of people focus on just turning up to the gym. But if you have ****** habits, you're not going to be able to be consistent. So habits is something I'm huge on and so many resources will also be in this all in the one place. So like I'm kind of like restructuring the way I do things. So I'm in my little busy work mode over here, which has been super great. So yeah, that's something to look out for if you're interested in strength training. But yeah, I'm just really focused on myself at the moment. Like it's so important to go through phases where you just focus on yourself. Have better like have boundaries in place to prioritize your own time.
