How effective are those high-rep, “booty band” workouts that flood your social media feed? Can you really ‘target’ fat loss in specific areas? Get ready to have some myths busted in this episode as I join forces with Dr. Shannon of @dr.shannon.dpt to debunk these popular fitness trends. 

We discuss “gentle consistency” and how to apply that to body recomposition and hypertrophy training. We will also debunk some of the common fitness trends that we’re seeing and decide if we think they’re worthy or not. And we’ll also chat about how to strength train and not absolutely wreck your body. 

So, if you are dealing with those aches and pains, know that is probably not normal, and there is a solution for you. Tune in if you’re ready to adopt a sustainable and scientifically-backed fitness routine that steers clear of misleading trends. This episode is loaded with practical advice to help you train smarter, not harder.
