COACH VINNIE IS BUSTING A FAT-LOSS MYTH.
What’s one thing people think they need to do to see results but actually don’t?
“Cardio.
This comes up constantly with my fat loss clients and I want to settle it once and for all.
You do not need to add HIIT sessions, 5Ks, or long bouts of high incline walking just to lose fat. (Note: For your health and longevity, cardio is great. But having less fat and more muscle will help you more. You can work on cardio later.)
When I used to push cardio hard on myself it would actually make me hungrier... because I was in such a steep energy deficit that my body was desperately trying to compensate.
Here’s what I actually recommend:
1. ���Strength train at least 3 days per week.
2. ���Hit 8,000 steps per day.
That’s it.
If you enjoy cardio or love being outside... absolutely do it. I do too.
But don’t think it’s going to fast track your fat loss.
The best way to lose fat isn’t to burn more calories with your workouts.
It’s to control your calories with your nutrition.
The gym is where you build the body. The kitchen is where you reveal it 💪🏽”
