COURTNEY FISCHER’S 3-2-1 WEEKLY METHOD

Three days of strength training
Two days of Pilates a week
One day of cardio per week

Fisher recalled how she would start her day with a bike workout and end it with boot camp-style classes.

“My cortisol levels were through the roof. My hormones were all over the place and my body was under stress,” she said.

The stress she put on her body through grueling daily workouts led her to overeat and gain weight.

“I ended up feeling very, very discouraged and exhausted because I was putting so much stress on my body and not getting to where I wanted to go,” she shared.

Fisher explained that she was first introduced to Pilates after suffering a traumatic brain injury at the age of 15.saying that it was one of the few workouts she was able to complete.

Even though she enjoyed exercise, she was initially wary of doing Pilates because she feared she wasn’t burning enough calories.

The trainer said it wasn’t until she stopped doing HIIT and started incorporating Pilates into her strength training that she started seeing results.

She now does three days of strength training and two days of Pilates a week, a combination that inspired the 3-2-1 method.

A quick reminder and the reason why Pilates and Sculpting are so transformative for our bodies✨ Pilates and Sculpting workouts will help regulate your nervous system through deep breathing and low-impact movements, which in turn will reduce cortisol levels. High cortisol levels cause fluid retention in the body, weight gain, increased hunger and irritability. When we start doing low-impact workouts like the one we did today and this week, we will begin to lower our cortisol levels and store less water in our bodies. Another important thing that happens is that when we stop doing these high-intensity workouts and incorporate intentional and deep low-impact workouts into our daily routine, cortisol levels drop, which then reduces our hunger hormone levels, making it easier to stick to our goals. in the field of nutrition. Consistency is key in both our training and our diet. When we combine Pilates and strength training, we can reduce cortisol levels, build muscle mass, strengthen smaller muscle groups that are often overlooked, increase mobility, flexibility, and help you lose fat and eat better!
