It’s almost that time again!

Yes, I’m talking about Amazon Prime Day. While I’ve never been one to hop on the bandwagon for big sale days, last year I finally caved. I bought a new, bigger TV during last year’s Prime Day for such a good deal, I think I’m converted for life.

So now that Amazon Prime Day has been announced, I’ve been working on a list of things I need so I can take full advantage. And my list, of course, includes exercise equipment.

Today I want to share with you 5 common weight loss myths – and why they’re utterly wrong.

As a certified personal trainer who’s worked in both the medical and fitness fields, I’ve encountered a lot of people with a lot of varying beliefs about weight loss.

In fact, that was one of the main reasons I pursued my weight loss specialist certification. I wanted to know what was actually true…and what was essentially just rumor.

To this day, I work with my clients to overturn these ways of thinking. Because rather than speed weight loss along, most of these myths actually IMPEDE weight loss.

And we can’t have any of that. Weight loss is hard enough as is!

Wondering how to burn 300 calories a day without exercise?

You’re in the right place.

Who said that exercise has to be running, spin classes, and hours on the elliptical?

Exercise should be something you enjoy. Something that your mind loves just as much as your body.

So does exercise need to be a formal workout of blood, sweat, and tears?

NOPE!
