One of the many things our clients love about the FASTer Way to Fat Loss lifestyle is the flexibility it provides. And not only when it comes to nutrition—the FASTer Way is flexible enough to incorporate your favorite workouts, too. A common question we receive is if clients can still enjoy their Peloton workouts in the program, and we’re excited to let you know that the answer is YES! Read on to find out how and when to use Peloton workouts in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss.

Matching Your Workouts to the FASTer Way Macro Cycle

If you’re familiar with the FASTer Way, you know we’re big on macros (or macronutrients) and we practice a 7-day macro cycle that strategically pairs workouts with our nutrition for maximum fat burning. While the FASTer Way program and VIP Membership include workouts that can be completed at home or in the gym, you can absolutely opt to get your sweat on using your Peloton instead!

We suggest swapping out your FASTer Way workouts for the Peloton on low carb and active recovery days. High-intensity Peloton trainings are perfect for getting your heart rate up on low carb days, while a longer, more relaxing ride is a great option for active recovery days when your muscles need rest. 

Why Strength Training Matters

While we certainly love the Peloton as much as you do, the awesome workouts lack a strength training component that is absolutely necessary in developing lean, calorie-burning muscle. Try to avoid using the Peloton (other than for a warm-up or cool-down, of course) on strength training days and instead follow along with the given FASTer Way workouts to really maximize building muscle that will leave you feeling strong and lean.



Are you intimidated by the idea of incorporating varying workouts into your lifestyle? Don’t be! The FASTer Way provides workouts for every fitness level and plenty of low impact modifications. Many clients come to the FASTer Way with no experience in working out and end up falling in love with the FASTer Way lifestyle. We demystify Intermittent Fasting, carb cycling, and whole-food nutrition so you can live a healthy lifestyle that you LOVE.


“Ooooooo!!! This post makes me incredibly nervous. Be kind y’all. 😱 That girl on the left was exhausted, not sleeping well, having lots of indigestion & heartburn, feeling winded after the smallest amount of physical activity. She was scared of how bad she felt, and worried about where she was heading if she didn’t make a serious change. That was me just 3.5 months ago. I was ready for change, but the very last thing I wanted was another unsustainable diet.

Thank God for Amanda Tress and the FASTer Way to Fat Loss! I’ve found a new way of eating and working out that has literally changed my life.

Not only am I focused on whole food nutrition, but I’m working out on a regular basis. This girl is doing sprints… you heard that right, SPRINTS!! On top of losing (at last weigh-in more than a month ago) almost 30 lbs and more than 25 inches, I have loved what I’m learning about how to fuel my body for a lifetime. I am not deprived and I’m eating ALL THE CARBS & FATS!!! I’ve loved it so much that I interviewed, was selected, studied and passed my exam to become a certified FASTer Way Coach!! Y’all, a health and wellness coach! I mean, LIFE CHANGED!! And now I’m on a mission to help others begin their own transformation.”*

I’ve already shared a ton of information about intermittent fasting and carb cycling, which together are the foundation of my FASTer Way to Fat Loss Program. However, another key component to this unbelievably effective program is macronutrient tracking and timing. During our eating window, my clients and I follow an If It Fits Your Macros approach to nutrition. While this program is a gluten free, dairy free program,

WHY LOW CARB DAYS ARE CRUCIAL FOR FAT LOSS

To say that intermittent fasting and carb cycling have changed my life would be an extreme understatement. These nutritional strategies have helped me and hundreds of my clients burn fat and increase energy in a truly amazing way. 

You’ve probably heard me talk about becoming a fat burner as opposed to a sugar burner before. In fact, this is something that is slowly creeping its way into the fitness industry, as more and more research is being done on how to effectively lose fat in a healthy way. Personally, I have been doing research on this topic for the past year and a half. My Intermittent Fasting and Carb Cycling program was designed based on that research, to help women across the country become pro-fat burners as opposed to sugar burners.

For years I lived by the diet and exercise advice the fitness gurus swore by: several mini-meals throughout the day, a regular low caloric intake, and long form cardio. While I found myself in decent shape, there came a time when I hit a plateau. I couldn’t quite find my six pack, I didn’t have a ton of energy and I found myself getting sick a little too often for my liking. So, I did a little research and began experimenting with intermittent fasting and carb cycling. In addition, I changed up my workout and added in some serious strength training and HIIT.
