Are you looking to make some major body composition changes in 2025? It might be as simple as six habit changes. Brooke, one half of Healthy Living with Brooke and Tay, is a DPT and Certified Macro Coach who, along with her sister, helps simplify fat loss for women. In a recent social media post she reveals a dramatic before and after photo, sharing how her body composition transformed dramatically in just one year. "How I changed my body in 1 year," she writes in the caption.
She Switched From HIIT to Strength Training
The first thing she did was change her approach to exercise. "I swapped from HIIT to strength training 4-5x a week. 30-minute sessions of strength training each muscle 1x a week!" she writes in her post.
She Started Walking More
Next, she added, "More walking!" she writes. "Started aiming for 30 mins of walking 5-7x a week. Started walking 10 mins after dinner to aid in digestion."

She Prioritized Sleep
After that, she "dialed in" her sleep routine. "Consistently starting going to sleep around 8:30 pm & waking up at 4:45 am to work out," she says.
She Reduced Stress
She also got her zen on. "Reduced my stress!" she exclaims. "Started to journal, meditate, take more time for ME."
She Ate More Protein
The fifth habit she incorporated has to do with diet. "Increased my protein! I aim for 155g, which is about 1.5 times my BW. This helped me stay full during the day and build lean muscle mass," she says.
She Started Taking Creatine
And lastly, she added a muscle-building supplement. "Started taking creatine consistently every day for 365 days," she writes.

On the Weekends, She Is Consistent
In another post, she reveals four consistent things she does every weekend so she doesn't have to start over on Monday. "Keep a Consistent routine! For me, this means getting up early. Drinking my greens plus creatine, getting outside for morning steps, eating a high protein breakfast," she writes.
She Maintains a Healthy Diet
She also doesn't use the weekends as an excuse to cheat on her diet. "Eat similar on weekends as I do during this week. I, of course, have more flexibility during the weekend and change meals up, but for the most part, I aim to get my 30g of protein in at each meal as well as stick to high-quality protein, veggies, fruit, and lean meats. I try to have only 1-2 drinks a weekend if that's the case. I will eat higher protein during the day. I know I am going out for dinner to avoid overeating on carbs and fat for that day," she adds.
She Plans for the Week Ahead
Third, she plans for the week ahead. "Every Sunday, I write my to-do list for the week, what workout I'll be doing, what day, and when I am going to walk so I know my schedule and can plan accordingly. When you pencil in time for yourself, it is more likely to get done!" she writes.

She Moves
Finally, she exercises. "Move during the weekend! On the weekend, I usually keep an "active rest weekend," which still looks like a 45-minute walk on Saturday and Sunday. However, it might be more "sprinkled" in and not as formal- I might walk around town getting coffee, etc. I usually rest my muscles on the weekend from lifting," she writes.
