I don’t want strength training. I just want to tone up and lean out.”
—women are still saying this in 2026… 👀

And honestly? I get it.

A lot of women want low-impact workouts because they’re trying to protect their bodies, not break them. They don’t want to aggravate old injuries, they’re over jumping everywhere, and after having kids, mainstream strength training often just doesn’t feel the same. (I can absolutely attest to that.)

What often gets missed in the search for “low-impact toning workouts” is this:

“Toning” isn’t a style of workout.
It’s a result.

And that result comes from:
1️⃣ Having muscle
2️⃣ Reducing body fat enough for it to show

To build or maintain muscle?
Yes, you do need strength training.

The good news is that strength training can absolutely be low impact, joint-friendly, and adapted to your body. With the right programming, it can even work alongside barre or Pilates, not replace them.

If you want to lean out without guessing—or feeling like you have to crush yourself to get there, DM “TONE.” 💬

Plot twist… I’m in person again 💪🏼

I’ve officially accepted a position with Life Time Burlington and will be joining their personal training team starting January 6th.

I was scouted for this opportunity earlier this month, and honestly, the timing couldn’t be more aligned with my expertise, the direction of my work, and what my family needs right now.

I’m excited to step into this new chapter as a go-to in-person coach for Lifetime members, especially moms navigating postpartum + perimenopause!

And if I’m being honest?
I’ve really missed this.
Being on the fitness floor.
Working hands-on with clients.
Sharpening my craft alongside an incredible team.

This role lets me do all of that again.

And just to be clear, my online business and Balanced Body program isn’t going anywhere and remains completely separate. This just adds another layer to how and where I get to coach.

Excited for this next chapter ✨ and can’t wait to share more of it with you.

Kate lost 12 pounds and 2 inches from her waist in 10 weeks—without being perfect.

She had a clear “cut” season…with an end date!
She trained with intention. Weights.
She ate in a way that kept her blood sugar steady. Focusing on what to ADD, not subtract.
And she adapted when life got in the way. There will always be blips and trips and things that come up.

This is what happens when your fat-loss plan actually fits your life. You can stick with it and the next thing you know, you’re confidently tucking in fitted white shirts without needing high waists to do it!

If you know you want to drop a size in 2026, comment KATE and I’ll send you the next step.
