Mistakes I’ve made as a PT so you don’t have to!
Might make a mini series of this if you’re lucky 😂
Over the years there’s been so many trends, new things online that people get sucked into and also new research on a lot of different things!
Anyways here we go:
1. Sugar won’t make you fat. One single thing won’t make you gain body fat, it doesn’t work like that, we all know what a calorie deficit is by now … you could eat high sugar foods, be in a deficit and lose fat BUT feel rubbish. If someone demonises food, run!
2. You can’t out train your diet. Whatever your goal is, over exercising isn’t the way forward, the way forward is finding what works for you, what works for goal and what’s sustainable. You don’t need to expend thousands of calories a day and eat a few hundred. You need to nail the basics here.
3. You don’t need to train every day to see results. You only need extreme training if your goal depends on that. You don’t need to be in the gym or running for hours on end. If you have 20 mins to exercise and that’s all you do then amazing, if you only managed to exercise 2 times this week, that’s getting you closer to where you want to be… you get the point.
Like I said, I might make more of these, especially if it helps people!
Comment if you’ve made any of the same ones or have any questions!
