Building muscle and strength are just like brushing your teeth. One meal can make you gain fat. In this week’s podcast, Chris and Gina tackle the biggest training and nutrition fallacies.
Chris says the biggest training fallacy is that you can just go to the gym, lift whatever weights, and build muscle and strength.
Wrong—but sort of.
See, anyone who is just starting out will gain muscle and strength if they lift weights. But once they need to progress to the next level, their training program needs to get more specialized and more balanced to make sure that they continue to get strong without:
- Neglecting muscle groups and creating imbalances
- Moving backwards and losing results
Give a listen and hear in more depth what Chris has to say about the path to results, why your training plan has to level up with you, and why building muscle and strength are just like brushing your teeth.
Gina says the biggest nutrition fallacy is that people don’t understand how easy it is to gain back fat once you’ve lost it.
Just like muscle and strength, if you stop doing what got you your results, you will lose them.
That’s especially true with losing weight. Body fat comes back in sneaky slow ways, one pound at a time, and while you CAN gain weight from one meal, it’s the creeping fat gain that kills your results.
So let’s say that, over the course of the summer, you have a few cookies once a week, a few drinks once a week, and a few unhealthy meals at cookouts and parties.
It’s only a few, right?
Those “few” choices take a lot of work to overcome, and most people don’t do the work to overcome it. And this is why gaining weight is so easy—because it’s hard work to not gain!
Give a listen and hear in more depth what both Chris and Gina have to say about training, staying on track, nutrition, and the biggest fallacies people believe about all of it.
