Have you ever really considered that you can't train your body fat? When you exercise, you are training your muscles. Of course exercise plays an important role in weight loss, but it might not be the one you think it does.

In this episode, I go on to explain why your training goal CANNOT be fat loss, by definition. I then explain the important role that strength training plays during weight loss.

The ability to maintain muscle mass is crucial while losing weight, and training with the goal of increasing strength is the best way to do this. All while eating in a caloric deficit, as that is how fat loss occurs. You can't train your fat to "melt away", we simply must create an environment where a caloric deficit is maintained.

I also share my thoughts on how framing exercise positively - gaining strength - is much more beneficial than constantly framing exercise negatively - losing fat. After all, this is supposed to be fun and add to our life! Not something that should we should resent.

I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback. If you could share this with a friend, that would mean the world to me.
