This common weight loss myth is holding you back.

Because this myth actually causes a lot of people to waste their time, energy, and attention and makes it more difficult to reach their weight loss goal. ⁣⁣Let me explain real quick…⁣⁣

A lot of people get caught up in how many calories they burn exercising or cardio for weight loss, but in reality, exercise in the gym doesn’t burn as many calories as we think.⁣⁣

Consider this: ⁣⁣

In the gym, think about the actual amount of minutes during a workout you’re actively lifting weight and exercising. ⁣⁣I’m not talking about warming up, resting between sets, picking a song for your next exercise, flicking through Instagram, or filling up your trendy water bottle.

⁣⁣𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬.

⁣⁣Because you’ll end up putting yourselves at a greater risk of injury and excessive soreness which means you’ll burn fewer calories from nonexercise movement. ⁣⁣You’ll hurt your ability to actually build muscle and give our body that shape we want as we lose weight.

⁣⁣And if we compare the effort and time it takes to burn 300-500 calories via exercise versus removing 300-500 calories from our diet to create weight loss nutrition wins that battle.

⁣⁣We should use our diet to create a deficit for weight loss, and exercise to build and hold onto muscle as we lose weight.

⁣⁣If you’re not sure how to adjust your nutrition to make sure it’s helping you to drop the pounds and inches…⁣⁣Or how to use exercise in a way that doesn’t hurt your weight loss goals…⁣⁣That’s exactly what I help my clients achieve in my coaching, and I know I can help you do the same.
