In this episode Bill and Chris talk about the misconceptions of weight loss and fat loss in the health, wellness and fitness world. Many people go to the gym and try to train themselves for better body composition under poor guidance and through workout models that will more often than not result in injury. If we can understand the first principles of fat loss and what is necessary in order to experience success, we can get a much greater return on our investment of energy and resources. #weightloss #fatlossworkouts #exercise
