Fact or Fiction: Dispelling the Internet's Most Common Myths and Misconceptions about Fitness for Women

True or false? Muscle forms the foundation of your metabolism and acts as your body's protective shield. FALSE! It’s not the foundation, it’s everything. (So this one is actually true). 

You have to gain muscle to reverse muscle loss. 

Rod explained, "Where does fat actually go when we lose weight?"

Why is muscle critical for fat loss? 

Muscle is the physical location of fat burning. The more muscle you have, the more fat you can burn! 

Do I need to cut out red meat to help with fitness and fat loss? No! 

It's important to note - Just because you look healthy, doesn’t mean you are. 

As Rod always says, some of the most overweight people are simply malnourished. They're overconsuming calories because they're hungry for nutrition, and the most popular foods in the American diet lack nutrition.

Should you eat Kellogg’s for dinner? Food companies hire dietitians and doctors to say it’s healthy. It is absolutely not! 

Should you take an ice bath after working out to improve recovery? NO. Rod explained why inflammation is not always a bad thing! Inflammation is actually healthy as you recover from workouts and grow healthy strong muscles. 

Processed foods are the enemy.
