This episode of the Tara talk is for all the women out there who feel frustrated by endless cardio sessions, confusing fitness advice, and a seeming lack of progress in their workouts. If you’ve ever wondered why your body isn’t changing the way you want, or if you’re feeling a little lost when it comes to strength training, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Shannon Ritchey, fitness expert, founder of Evlo Fitness, and former physical therapist, who helps address all these concerns. She’s going to break down some common misconceptions around fat loss vs. body composition, and explain why more muscle—not more cardio—is the game-changer for a leaner physique.
Dr. Shannon also debunks quick-fix workout trends, explores the true role of nutrition in body composition, evaluates the effectiveness of different exercises for muscle growth, and explores the long-term benefits of building muscle for changing your body composition.
What we discuss:
(00:00) - Trends and Myths in Fitness
(08:39) - Reconsidering Exercise Mythologies
(16:40) - Effective Exercises for Muscle Growth
19:38) - Myths and Realities of Strength Training
(31:14) - Understanding Muscle Failure and Weightlifting
(43:15) - Tracking Nutrition and Fitness Progress
(50:15) - Building Muscle for Longevity and Health
(01:01:06) - Consistent and Gentle Fitness Approach
