0:00.0	What's going on everybody? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. I'm your
0:05.0	coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. Today we're
0:11.4	going to be talking about brutally honest fitness truths that you likely need to hear. So these are
0:16.2	things that a lot of people believe. A lot of people are spending time, money, energy, just consuming their brain and their entire fitness journey. And it may be holding them back, right? You know, if you spend a lot of time doing the wrong stuff, it's just not going to allow you to see actual long-term change. So the first thing here I want to talk about is that you don't have to do endless cardio to lose fat. So a lot of people will start the
0:37.8	journey and when they look at trying to get in shape, they just think running, biking,
0:43.0	swimming, walking, like all this stuff. And I really do believe that cardio has its place. It's
0:48.4	great for our heart health. It's amazing to help us just be able to be in a calorie deficit.
0:53.4	But it's not the end-all,

1:18.7	activity with progress right so they think hey if i join this pickleball league and i go and do a soccer
1:24.2	league and then like that's what's going to help me get in shape and And so they spend so much time and energy doing all this stuff when in reality it's actually
1:32.3	been proven that if you are looking to get in shape to lose fat to build muscle, you can
1:37.7	actually technically get away with doing no cardio.
1:40.8	Now is that recommended?
1:42.0	No, I really encourage you to do sports.
1:44.9	I love walking, all that great stuff. But what really matters is being in a calorie deficit, so eating less
1:50.0	than you burn and strength training, right? So those two things will get you to get,
1:53.9	have incredible results. And then as a way to make the calorie deficit bigger, you're going to
