Everywhere we turn—social media, magazines, TV ads—we’re bombarded with messages about getting in shape. But how much of that advice is actually reliable or science-based? Unfortunately, some of it is misleading, designed to sell products or gain followers. Other times, well-meaning friends or family share conflicting advice that leaves us confused. And sometimes, the beliefs we’ve carried for years about fitness may not be as true as we think.
In this episode, I’m uncovering 4 common fitness myths that often hold midlife and older adults back. One of the big myths we’re busting is about what exercise really works to get rid of belly fat—and why so much of what you’ve heard may not be true. Join me as we separate fact from fiction and empower you with the truth to make fitness work for you.
