@kalejunkie @kalejunkie when I finally understood that I needed the right proportion of protein, carbs and fats for MY body (thx to my coach), and that I didn’t need to spin my wheels doing cardio, everything changed. And I feel stronger and happier than ever before (and I’m just getting started)! I also started making healthier swaps—like replacing my usual go-to energy drink (not naming names 🤫) with the NEW @drinknello Energy and I couldn’t be happier—because sometimes a gal just needs a yummy energy drink to power through a workout. And now we have a cleaner option—150mg natural caffeine, amino acids and B vitamins. You can now them at @target nationwide! #nellopartner

    Turns out, the secret was eating more and doing less cardio

Transcript

At 45, I can confidently say I am in the best shape of my life. If getting here looked nothing like I thought it would, years I thought the answer was eating less and doing more cardio. Turns out, it was the opposite. I eat more a strength train and I make healthier swaps. Ello just came out with energy, and it's made me replace my typical energy drink. Most important thing you need to know is that there are no jitters, no crash. It's made with natural caffeine, contains amino acids and b vitamins, and it tastes so good. Anyways, that is what I'm drinking these days during my workouts to power me through the toughest days. You can get them at Target.
