301: The Cardio Trap: Why More Exercise Isn't Getting You Leaner
from N1 Fitness Podcast: Sustainable Fat Loss for Busy People · host Marcus Sidhu
If you're doing more cardio than ever and your body hasn't changed — or it's actually gotten worse — this episode is for you. Cardio has plenty of benefits, but when it's treated as the primary fat loss strategy, it often backfires. In this episode, I break down: Why more exercise doesn't automatically lead to fat loss The two biggest mistakes people make when they rely on cardio How compensation (both with food and movement) keeps people stuck I also walk through the simple framework I used to lose 60 pounds and keep it off for over a decade — and the same approach I use with my clients to achieve sustainable fat loss without endless workouts (and in many cases, without formal exercise at all). Cardio can be a useful tool — but it's not an effective stand-alone fat loss strategy. This episode explains what to prioritize instead. -- Personalized 1-on-1 Coaching Apply Here Connect with me Instagram YouTube TikTok Facebook
