Fat loss coach warns this is why your joints hurt every time you work out: ‘It’s not just age’

As you are exercising, when your knees ache, you may often blame it on your age. But joint pain does not always originate from age. In many cases, it’s rooted in hormonal changes. Isaiah Fergusson, a sustainable fat loss coach, revealed in a June 18 Instagram post that the knee pain is a wake-up call for you to start training your body in tandem with the body’s functioning, not against it.

Hormonal causes

Estrogen’s fluctuation causes this. As the coach noted that when the estrogen levels fall, the body takes longer to recover from a workout. Now the tendons and ligaments of the knee lose their resilience and become more susceptible to strain.

Along with this, there are also risks of inflammation, causing more chances of injuries. Isaiah said, “Lower estrogen levels lead to a longer recovery period, your tendons will not bounce back the way they used to, estrogen has an impact on your tendon health, on your ligament health as well. Your body is also more inflamed than it has ever been in your life, so injuries will happen a lot easier and they will stick around for a lot longer.”

How to prevent?

So how do you prevent your ligaments and tendons from straining? According to Isaiah, the solution is to train the body in a way that supports it. He emphasised prioritising recovery time, along with adding anti-inflammatory foods to the diet, because inflammation around the knee may also cause pain.

He said, “So instead of training harder start training smarter, work on your mobility, work on getting stronger and recovering better, when you pair this with eating more anti-inflammatory foods, you will have less pain and more mobility in your joints.”

So, in other words, joint pain doesn’t mean you halt your workout. Instead, focus on smarter training, ensure you recover well, and choose a better diet.

Struggling to lose weight after 30? Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares diet tips and smart strategies to shed pounds, burn fat, and stay healthy in your 30s.

Losing weight can feel tougher as you cross 30, with slower metabolism, busy schedules, and changing hormones making fitness a challenge. Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares in his September 18 Instagram post the most effective diet tips to help you shed pounds and stay healthy in your 30s and beyond.

How do calories add up and cause weight gain over time

“This is 7,700 calories of chocolate,” Lars explains. “But there’s also 7,700 calories in 1kg of fat. This means you’d have to eat all of this chocolate on top of your maintenance calories to gain 1kg of fat. Doesn’t sound realistic to eat all of this in one day, does it?”

He adds, “So why is it that over time we gain weight even if we’re not eating huge amounts of food at once? The truth is, people get fat because calories add up gradually.”

Lars illustrates this with a simple example: “Here’s 550 calories worth of nuts, bread, and chocolate. If you just eat one of these portions on top of your maintenance calories for 14 days, you’ve gained 1kg of fat.”

What’s the key to losing stubborn fat

He advises, “You don’t have to cut out all the foods you love to live a healthy, happy, and sustainable life. But if you want to lose those stubborn love handles and achieve a toned, lean, flat stomach, you need to stop making mistakes like this.”

“To make it work, it’s crucial to know your daily calorie and protein goals, especially if you’re a man over 35. I’ve recorded a three-step guide showing how you can get the most effective nutrition plan,” concludes Lars.

Fitness coach says ‘walking is the most underrated fat loss tool’; shares 7 cheat codes to help you burn more calories

Walking is something most of us do every day, whether for fitness, commuting, or just clearing our heads. But what if this simple activity could actually help you burn more fat and even add years to your life? Fitness coach Dan Go shares in his September 16 Instagram post 7 cheat codes to make your walks smarter and more effective.

Let’s take a look at his recommendations:

1. Japanese interval walking

Alternate 3 minutes fast with 3 minutes slow for 30 minutes. Studies show this burns more fat, lowers blood pressure, and improves VO2 max better than steady walking.

2. Incline walking

A 5% grade can boost calorie burn by nearly 50%, while a 10% grade can double it. Plus, walking uphill puts less stress on the knees since your hips and glutes take more load.

3. Walk after meals

Just 2–5 minutes of walking after eating can blunt glucose spikes by around 30%. This means fewer cravings, steadier energy, and less fat storage.

4. Fasted morning walk

Walking before breakfast, when insulin is low, encourages your body to tap into fat for fuel. Doing it outside also helps set your circadian rhythm and energises you for the day.

5. Under-the-desk treadmill

Perfect for busy schedules, pair a standing desk with an under-the-desk treadmill to sneak in steps while working. Walking meetings or voice-to-text apps can make multitasking easy.

6. Pyramid walking intervals

Burn fat while building endurance: Warm up for 5 minutes easy, then increase speed and incline slightly every 10 minutes. Finish with 4 minutes at your toughest pace, then cool down.

7. Rucking

Add 5–10% of your body weight to a backpack during your walk. This increases calorie burn and strengthens your legs, core, and bones at the same time.

“Walking is the most underrated fat-loss tool, where small tweaks can equal massive results,” says Dan.

Everything to Know About the Coach S/S 26 Runway Show

Many fashion brands include accessories as part of their collections, but far fewer are known for being leaders in the accessories realm. Coach is one of those select few. Since Coach’s inception in 1941, its leather goods and accessories have been revered, and they remain highly coveted to this day. In recent years, the brand has experienced a resurgence, as the younger generation of fashion lovers has taken to its pieces. Coach’s S/S 26 collection is a reflection of this, as each look that went down the runway was undoubtedly created with Gen Z and its affinity for new accessory trends in mind.

For S/S 26, Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers embraced a neutral palette that allowed the accessories to shine. The silhouettes were relaxed and casual, and the looks, many of which included baggy trousers paired with shrunken outerwear on top, looked like something you’d see on a cool, polished New Yorker. While the models’ footwear may have been chunky and utilitarian, the pieces paired with them were often in contrast. The resulting looks were fresh and wearable.
