121. 5 Fitness Lies We Believed (So You Don’t Have To)

We’ve been in the fitness world for over two decades, and we’ve heard just about every myth, fad, and gimmick out there. But there are 5 lies we believed ourselves (and see over and over again) that are still keeping people stuck not just in their fitness, but in their confidence, consistency, and connection.

In this episode of Marriage Fit, we unpack those lies and share the real truths that actually lead to results in your body and in your relationship.

• Why “No Pain, No Gain” is a fast track to burnout, not results

• How carbs, fat, and real food fuel your body and your relationship

• The truth about spot reduction (and what actually works)

• Why 2–3 solid workouts a week is enough for real change

• How to use supplements wisely not as a shortcut

• The parallel between fitness reps and marriage reps

• The mindset shift that helps you stop chasing and start building

1. No Pain, No Gain → Consistency > Intensity

2. Carbs and Fat Are the Enemy → Fuel > Restriction

3. You Can Spot-Reduce Fat → Train Strength, Let the Aesthetics Follow

4. You Need to Work Out Every Day → Less, Done Well, Wins

5. Supplements Are the Secret → You Can’t Outsource the Effort

You don’t need more noise. You need truth you can actually live out, especially as a couple.
