Description

Summary

Ever been told to lose weight before you start working out? Or that carbs are bad, pain equals progress, or your age determines your results? You're not alone—and you're not wrong for questioning it.


In this solo episode, Kelly busts 8 common fitness myths that are holding smart, capable women back from real results. These are the tips clients have heard from doctors, friends, or fitness influencers—and Kelly is here to set the record straight with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom.


Get ready to ditch the noise and start trusting your body and your instincts again. This episode is like a reset button for your fitness mindset.


3 Key Takeaways

💥 You don’t need to lose weight before you move. Movement helps your body lose weight more sustainably—and keeps it off.

💪 Strength training won’t make you bulky. It’ll make you strong, defined, and metabolically efficient (yes, even in menopause).

🧠 Carbs aren’t the enemy. Your brain, heart, and muscles need them—just choose the right kind.
