What does it mean to "personlize" your fitness really?

In this episode, you'll learn about my ADAPT framework for personalizing fitness:

  • Assess your starting point
  • Do the thing (take action)
  • Analyze your data
  • Pivot based on what you learn
  • Test your changes

Learn why generic templates and YouTube workouts often fail, how to actually track progress beyond the scale, and the power of measuring energy and performance instead of just weight.

We also cover walking and NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), how to train around injuries without making them worse, building an effective home gym on a budget, and why patience and consistent data collection beat program-hopping every time.

This is from my conversation with Jenn Trepeck on her podcast Salad with a Side of Fries. Jenn is a health coach with an evidence-based approach to nutrition and weight loss who you may have caught on Wits & Weights last week discussing why your metabolism is stuck.
