Is cardio really the answer for fat loss — or has it been given a role it was never meant to play?

In this episode, we break down the truth about cardio and fat loss, and why doing more isn’t always better.

Cardio is incredible for cardiovascular health, energy, mood, and overall wellbeing — but when it becomes the main driver of fat loss, progress often stalls and burnout follows.

You’ll learn:

• What cardio is actually best for (and why it matters for health)
• How cardio supports fat loss without driving it
• Why relying on cardio alone often leads to plateaus
• The role of strength training, nutrition, and daily movement
• How to use cardio strategically instead of as punishment

If you’ve been smashing cardio but not seeing the results you want — or you’re exhausted from trying to “out-train” your food — this episode will help you reframe cardio and build a smarter, more sustainable approach.

Train for health.

Build muscle for shape.

Use cardio as support — not the solution 💚
