When I was in college, I got into distance running with my roommate. I had always struggled with carrying my extra fat around my midsection, and when I started training, I remember thinking I would be soooo skinny after I finished the half-marathon I signed up for.

Before the race, one of my high school friends I hadn't seen in years called me up and we were chatting about the race. I'll never forget when she asked me if I was "super skinny" now with all that running.

Hmmmm. I realized I looked the same as I always had.

Now, it's not all about looks of course, but if you want the fat off your midsection, you want your program to be effective, right? And mine clearly wasn't.

Ironically, that didn't make me question cardio for weight loss...at that point.

And I'm not against cardio at all, but I do think by itself it isn't the solution to losing fat.

I explain why in today's episode, so click below to listen😊
