This is part 1 of my conversation with Lauren Laux where she shares that she was a fan of group exercise, but eventually became disillusioned with the practice after realizing that it doesn’t work to achieve fat loss goals long term.  We also get weird with a lot of pop culture references and sing alongs...for some reason. Tune in!

 [04:53 - 15:22] A Clear Goal On Why You Are Going To The Gym

• Group exercises classes can be ineffective because they mistake sweat and tiredness for an effective workout
• Most people are trying to drop between 20 and 40 pounds of fat and put on enough lean muscle to feel better about themselves
• Group exercises classes need to be very specific about the goals that the participants are hoping to achieve
• She recommends tracking weights and exercises for 30 minutes before an intense workout to prevent overtraining and cortisol production
