Not all fitness advice you see online can be trusted. Unless of course, you hang out with us on Wesness with co-founders of women’s fitness collective Sisters in Sweat, Tanvie Hans and Swetha Subbiah. On this episode, they bust myths and throw those misconceptions out the window like do your muscles turn into fat if you stop exercising? Does spot reduction actually work to target specific areas in your body? Do you have to give up your favourite foods to lose weight? Tanvie and Swetha tackle all these questions (without judgement, we promise).
