Cardio isn’t bad.
But if it’s your only strategy for fat loss after 35, you’re going to feel like you’re running in circles, literally.
Here are the biggest myths I see:
MYTH 1: “More cardio = more fat loss.”
Truth: Too much cardio without strength training can cause muscle loss, making it harder to burn fat.
MYTH 2: “Cardio is the fastest way to drop a dress size.”
Truth: Cardio burns calories, but resistance training changes your body shape.
MYTH 3: “If I skip cardio, I’m lazy.”
Truth: Fat loss is about a smart blend, lifting, some movement, and a realistic nutrition plan.
Your better plan:
🏋️♀️ Lift weights 3–4x/week
🚶♀️ Walk daily for recovery and NEAT
❤️ Use cardio as a supplement, not your foundation
