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 💚

Everyone wants to be “toned” — but most people are chasing it the completely wrong way.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of eating less, doing more HIIT, and wondering why your body still feels soft, tired, or unchanged… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we break down what toning actually means (hint: it’s not starvation or endless cardio) and why the body you’re trying to achieve is built through lifting weights and eating enough — not burning yourself into the ground.

You’ll learn:

• What “toning” really is from a physiological point of view
• Why lifting weights is essential for shape and definition
• Why under-eating works against your goals
• How HIIT fits in — and where it goes wrong
• What to focus on instead if you want long-term results

This episode is a must-listen if you want to stop shrinking yourself and start building a stronger, leaner, more confident body — without extremes.

Strong is toned.

Fuelled beats exhausted.

And your body deserves better 💚

By the end of January, most people don’t quit because they’re lazy — they quit because they’re burnt out.

The all-or-nothing approach, the pressure to be perfect, and trying to change everything at once is exactly what leads to the infamous Quitters Day.

In this episode, we break down how to avoid burnout before it hits — and how to build habits that actually last beyond January.
