689: 9 Fitness Hills I Will Die On (And Why I Stand By Them)2 nov24 min

Hey, hey beautiful human! There's always some new workout trend telling women we need to train harder, sweat more, lift lighter weights, do more reps, spend more time in the gym, or burn a certain number of calories if we really want to see results.

And after years of strength training myself and helping women work toward their fitness goals, there are some things that I keep coming back to over and over again. These are things that I genuinely believe can make a HUGE difference in how you train, how you recover, and ultimately, the results you see.

So today, I'm sharing nine fitness hills I will absolutely DIE on, and why I stand by every single one.

What's discussed:

Why cardio is helpful but not a game changer

Why a good workout can't help without good nutrition

How to train efficiently without overdoing it

Same effort over time equals same results

Why sweating a lot in the gym doesn't equal results

Why counting calories doesn't determine how effective a workout is

How rest is crucial to get results
