To date, Lindsey has gained close to 44 pounds and currently weights about 154 pounds. "Putting on the weight took a couple of years, but getting my body to be where it is now, looks wise and as strong as it is now, took about four years," Lindsey said.
In order to gain weight, Lindsey had to increase her food intake. Initially, consuming more food was challenging, especially as the numbers on the scale increased, she explained, "but I learned that my body needed the calories and fuel."
She also began to lift heavier weights and reduced the amount of cardio she was doing to put on weight. Lindsey typically trains six times a week; here's an example of her weekly workout schedule:
- Monday: strength and cardio
- Tuesday: strength training and a fasted run
- Wednesday: cardio-based conditioning
- Thursday: strength training and a fasted run
- Friday: strength and cardio
- Saturday: a fasted four to five mile run in the morning and a strength session in the evening.
- Sunday: rest or the same workout as Saturday, depending on how her body feels.
