Ep. 32 - The Biggest Fitness Lies We Believed When We First Started Out

We were so confident. We were so wrong. 😭 This week on The Consistency Code we're going back to the beginning and sharing the fitness beliefs we held with absolute conviction that turned out to be completely false and giving you the actual science behind why. Bella believed: 🚫 No rest days allowed - ever 🚫 Carbs were the enemy 🚫 Cardio every single day (yes, 12-3-30 daily) 🚫 One week off the gym and your muscle is gone Rutha believed: 🚫 Barbell squats or nothing - machines don't count 🚫 Protein is protein - eating multiple bars a day is fine 🚫 Cardio will strip all your muscle 🚫 The StairMaster is bad We're breaking down every single one - where the belief came from, why it's wrong, and what the research actually says. No judgment because the fitness industry fed us a lot of this, but also we were a little ridiculous. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you've been training for years - you might recognize yourself in some of these.
