Brittany Coutu is a fitness influencer and expert. Last month, she shared a photo on Instagram of herself posing in a black leotard. Coutu shared some workout advice for her followers in the caption. “I have something to tell you. When you stand at a bus stop, you’ll eventually catch a bus. But if you keep running from bus stop to bus stop, you’ll never catch one. So what is the point of this? The point is that you have to be patient to get where you’re going. Switching from location to location will never allow you the opportunity to board that bus.”
She Does The Same Workout
Coutu believes in doing the same workouts each day. She talked about this in her Instagram caption. “Our training should be the exact same! We have to force our muscles to adapt to a specific stimuli to optimize growth. If we are constantly changing the stimuli, we will never fully optimize the adaptation! This is why your programming should have the same 2/3 workouts for each muscle expanded for 4/6 weeks. Give it time to adapt and when it does - change your bus stop!!! This is exactly how I train all my Coutufit queens 💪🏼 and myself of course. Train smarter not harder!”
She Runs
Coutu likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself on the track. Coutu captioned it, “I’M BACK!!! First run of the year!! I wanted to commit to a half marathon at the end of the year, so let’s see what we can do. Out the gates I’m starting with a two mile run, walking laps 😮💨How do you prepare for your runs and any tips below will be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼 PS. idk how people film and run 🫠 PPS: running apps, share please! My Fitbit was so off!!”
She Makes Healthy Versions of Foods and Drinks
Coutu makes sure to eat a healthy diet. In this Instagram video, she shared her secret for making a healthier coffee drink. Coutu captioned it, “In honor of national coffee day I bring to you my coffee protein hack. Look, the reality is small changes and exchanges in daily habits can add up to huge changes with your fitness goals. Wasted time, wasted money, not real food or real ingredients and I don’t know about you but I would rather have my cake and eat it too.
Half the stuff put into drinks isn’t even needed.Think about this, are you the person that drowns food in sauce before seeing if it was good first without it? Well drinks are the same way! So why not make healthier decisions that can taste the same so you can enjoy that yummy pick me up such as donut or cookie and be guilt free.”
She Gets Enough Protein
Coutu makes sure to get enough protein in her diet. She shared this recipe for protein balls on Instagram. Coutu captioned it, “💪🏼 4 INGREDIENT PROTEIN BITES 🍫Homemade and something for you, your loved ones or even the kiddies. They are perfect for when you’re craving something sweet or a treat for the kiddies post fall activities. They also can be customized adding in additional ingredients such as nuts, baking chips, and even chia seeds.

She Shows Up For Herself
A big part of Coutu’s fitness journey is showing up for herself. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Each day is made up of 100’s of little decisions. And guess what they aren’t always going to be perfect days and that’s ok. What matters is that you keep moving and make your next move intentional. Stay out of the imposter syndrome of comparing, doubting, or starting over. Just keep showing up! What’s one thing you struggle most with on your own fitness journey?”
