Is bloating making you feel like your jeans fit at 8 AM… but betray you by 5 PM?

In this episode of The Muscles and Mindset Revolution, host Anne Jones—certified life coach, personal trainer, and mindset expert—breaks down the surprising connection between strength training and bloating relief for women.

Anne shares 5 powerful reasons why lifting weights consistently can help you beat belly bloat:

✅ Keeps your gut moving and digestion flowing

✅ Flushes out excess fluid (so you feel less puffy)

✅ Reduces stress levels that wreak havoc on your gut

✅ Lowers inflammation linked to bloating and discomfort

✅ Strengthens your core for better posture and flatter appearance

Plus, Anne spills her own hilarious real-life bloating moments (including the time she unbuttoned her shorts at the Shakira concert in Vegas!).

If you’re tired of feeling puffy, frustrated, and unsure why bloating keeps showing up—this episode is your roadmap to relief.

👉 Listen in and discover how strength training can transform not just your physique—but your gut health and confidence too.

In this episode of the Muscles and Mindset Revolution Podcast, Coach Anne Jones breaks down a frustrating but common reality: you’re eating clean, maybe even working out… and still gaining weight in your 30s or 40s.

Anne reveals what’s actually slowing your metabolism (spoiler: it’s not age), and the three most common mistakes healthy women make that unintentionally lead to fat gain, muscle loss, and burnout.

You’ll learn:

• Why muscle loss—not age—is the hidden driver behind weight gain
• How undereating and overdoing cardio backfire after 30
• What to do instead to stop the gain—and finally feel like yourself again
• How real clients reversed midlife weight gain without tracking, restricting, or burning out

If you’ve gained 10–15 lb despite doing everything “right,” this episode is your wake-up call and your next step.

💥 Anne’s private 1:1 coaching project is now accepting applications specifically from six women who have gained 5-10 lb in the past few years despite 'eating clean.' DM the word ENOUGH on Instagram @annejonesfit or click here to apply.
