Why Repeating Workouts is the Key to Fat Loss (and What No One’s Telling You)

04/28/25 • 8 min

You do not need a new workout every week to get stronger, leaner, or more confident in your body. I used to believe that too—and I was so wrong.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest myths in fitness: that you need to constantly switch things up to see results. Nope. What you really need is consistency and progressive overload—aka doing the same movements and getting a little bit better every time.

I’ll share:

Why repeating your workouts is one of the smartest things you can do for fat loss and strength
What “progressive overload” actually means and how to use it (even if you’re a beginner)
The top 4 reasons repeating workouts gets you better results, faster
Why your workouts don’t need to be entertaining—they need to be effective

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing random workouts and wondering why your body isn’t changing—this one’s for you.

💪 Want a plan that takes out the guesswork and actually works?
