Why Summer Is the Best Time for Women to Build Muscle (Plus My Unfiltered Ibiza Glow-Up)
In this weeks episode of The Fit and Unfiltered Podcast, I am sharing with you why summer is an opportune time for women to build muscle rather than panic about eating more, because a lean, toned look comes from muscle and you can’t build significant muscle in a calorie deficit.
In my unfiltered chat, I revisit my goal of taking more pride in my appearance after Ibiza reminded me of my glam side, and I explain that we can restart goals at any moment. Then I break down five non-negotiables for muscle building.
