Why You ALWAYS Fall Off Track on Weekends (& how to fix it FOREVER) | PD Podcast Ep.209

Ever feel like you're living a double life—health-conscious and "strict" during the week and party animal on weekends? Our latest episode tackles this common frustration head-on. Sue explains that breaking free from the "weekday saint, weekend sinner" cycle isn't about more discipline or willpower, it's about creating a system that works for you.


But we don't just explain the problem, we offer a four-step system to build consistency without sacrificing your social life. Listen in as we teach you to stop viewing your week as having an "on" and "off" switch, and we'll show you how to create flexible guardrails that work every single day of the week.

Adding Weight ISN'T the Only Way to Make Progress with Coach Charlotte | PD Fit Bits
MAR 13, 2025
Adding Weight ISN'T the Only Way to Make Progress with Coach Charlotte | PD Fit Bits

When it comes to getting the most out of your workouts, it's easy to fall into the trap of chasing numbers on the weight stack. But here's the thing—your muscles don't actually know what number is written on that dumbbell or plate.


Coach Charlotte is on the podcast today with a short episode reminding you to not get so caught up on the number on the weight in your hand or on the bar and that progress will actually *accelerate* when you focus less on the numbers and more on the quality of each contraction.


As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
