In this episode of Strong, Well-Fed, and Outspoken, Coach Frizzle (Rusty) and Coach Nel (Alana) discuss many of the current trending fitness, and nutrition myths. We learn what we're NOT Falling for as Fitness Coaches. Todays episode will help you understand many misconceptions that can be found in todays media.

They take a deep dive into what actually matters in fitness. Understanding exercise context, respecting individual training needs, and learning why not all calories are created equal. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice on Instagram, TikTok or many "influencers"

Todays topics include:

  • Why "staying in your lane" as a coach builds trust and effectiveness

  • The value of exercise variety (but not for the reason you think)

  • How to think about rest times, rep ranges, and programming progression

  • Why food quality matters, even when calories are being tracked

  • How tracking devices can mislead more than they help (yes, your workout still counts if its not tracked!)

Whether you're a beginner, advanced trainee, or a fellow coach, this episode empowers you to train smarter, eat better, and critically evaluate fitness advice online.
