Sobriety and fitness.
How do they correlate?

Sobriety and fitness are closely connected, as physical exercise can play a crucial role in supporting and maintaining sobriety.

Here’s how fitness can benefit sobriety:
1.Stress Reduction: Exercise is a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety, which are often triggers for relapse. It releases endorphins, which improve mood and provide a natural “high” that can replace the cravings for substances.

2.Improved Mental Health: Physical activity, especially aerobic exercises like running, swimming, or cycling, has been shown to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, which are common in recovery.
3.Structured Routine: Fitness can create a positive, structured routine. Having a set schedule of workouts provides purpose and focus, helping to fill the time that might otherwise be spent on unhealthy habits.

4.Building Discipline and Self-Control: Just as sobriety requires self-discipline, sticking to a fitness regimen reinforces self-control. The mental strength developed through exercise can support the mindset needed to maintain sobriety.

5.Body Healing: Regular exercise improves physical health by promoting better cardiovascular health, strength, and stamina, which are often impaired by substance use. This helps the body recover from the toll addiction may have taken.

6.Social Support: Engaging in fitness activities, such as group classes or team sports, can introduce you to new, sober social circles. Building healthy connections with people who support your goals is crucial in maintaining long-term sobriety.

If you’re focusing on both sobriety and fitness, finding a balanced approach to these can be incredibly empowering for long-term health and well-being.

Oh no! My weight has gone up! 😱😱😱

Don’t be alarmed.
The beauty about lifting weights and Body Recomposition lies in gaining muscles, loosing fat then weight loss!

Here is the evidence.
Alana was thrilled to finally see 100’s on the scale but 2 months after she’s crossed 200 again. Just as she was 4 months ago.

No probelm!
Clearly her strength has increased.

As we can see, she has continued loosing body fat and most importantly: gaining muscles.

The body you want may not always at the weight you have. It can very well and more than likely be heavier.

Cardio with weights will always work. Not just cardio.

🏋🏼‍♀️
1st May, 2023. Dana started initially at 186lbs. She then maintained a 3 lb decrease for 2 months and now she’s back up to 187lbs. (Minus 1month from vacation and the common cold.)

Although she gained 1lb, it is not fat! She has gained significant muscle while loosing fat. This is know as Body Recomposition.

Evident from her stories, she is now able to lift some serious weight. She now squats 100 lbs, deadlifts 150 lbs and benches 65lbs.

What is Body Recomposition?

It is a process whereby an individual simultaneously reduce body fat and builds lean muscle mass. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on either fat loss or muscle gain, body recomposition seeks to achieve both goals concurrently.

How is Body Recomposition achieved?

It typically involves a combination of a balanced diet, resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and proper recovery to reshape the body composition.

The key to body recomposition is maintaining or slightly adjusting calorie intake while engaging in strength training to build muscle and cardiovascular exercise to burn fat. This can lead to a more toned and defined physique without significant changes in body weight. It's a gradual process that requires consistency and patience.

Well done Dana! Keep at it. Be patient.
