Stop doing cardio if you want results βπ»
β WAIT! Before youβre like, WTF, Ashley, hear me out.
β Cardio is definitely a tool that supports weight loss, and I use it in my clientsβ programs. But in the long term, having more muscle mass helps your body burn more calories at rest.
β
β ππ»ββοΈ By ABUSING cardio, your body will adapt to that level of energy expenditure, and you will have to DO MORE, then your body will start wasting muscle away and increase cortisol.
β Thatβs why youβll sometimes see people who run a lot and have a little belly!
β Myths you need to STOP believing
β π Cardio cancels out a βbadβ day of eating
β π Fasted cardio is the best way to burn fat
β π You need to do 1 hour of cardio a day to keep weight off
β π You have to do cardio before weight training
β If I am going to give you any tip, itβs that you need to cycle through cardio (walking, running, interval, HIIT, stepper) and not do the same thing year-round.
β Your body is smart, and it adapts. PERIOD.
β How often do you do cardio?
