Description

BBQ season, busy schedules, and conflicting fitness advice got you confused? On this episode of The Simply Fitness Podcast, I tackle the age-old question: cardio or strength training for fat loss? Spoiler alert—it's not either/or! I bust common myths (those calorie counters are lying to you), share why the 'lifting makes you bulky' fear is nonsense, and give busy people a practical 80/20 approach. Plus, my 'Quick Hits' on Liquid Death drinks and macro tracking trade-offs during weekend restaurant visits. Perfect for anyone with just 3 hours a week who wants real results without the confusion.
