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!

Learning how to run in the morning before work is no easy feat.

Take it from someone who is NOT a morning person.

I may actually be the most anti-morning person there is. Once, in middle school, my mom literally grabbed me by the ankles to pull me out of bed lol.

Which is why I know that these tips work. Because seriously – if I can do it, so can you.
