The 5 Fitness “Rules” That Are Keeping You Stuck

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” in your fitness journey — only to look in the mirror and wonder why you’re not seeing the results you want?

You’re not alone, babe.

Just last week, a girl DM’d me something that honestly broke my heart. She said:

“Yas, I’ve been doing everything I’m supposed to do for months. Why am I not seeing results?”

When I took a closer look at her routine, I saw it immediately.

She was following all the so-called “rules” that the fitness world shouts at us — but these rules? They’re actually myths that keep you stuck and frustrated.

Let’s Bust These 5 Myths Keeping You Stuck

Myth #1: “Lifting heavy will make you bulky.”

Girl, no.

You do not have enough testosterone to suddenly “bulk up” from lifting heavy.

In fact, lifting heavy is what creates that tight, toned, hourglass figure you’re after. Those fitness girls you see with tiny waists and sculpted curves? They’re not doing endless sets of light weights. They’re lifting heavy — and building real muscle.

Myth #2: “Cardio is the best way to lose fat.”

Spending hours running on a treadmill might burn calories while you’re at it, but that’s where it stops.

Strength training, on the other hand, keeps your body burning calories for up to 48 hours after you’re done. Plus, muscle is what gives you that sculpted look — not just being smaller.

So if you’re stuck doing cardio day after day and not seeing changes? It’s time to rethink your approach.

Myth #3: “You need to eat 1,200 calories to lose weight.”

Babe, 1,200 calories a day is starvation, not a healthy fat-loss plan.

When you under-eat, your body freaks out and goes into survival mode. It holds onto fat (because it thinks it’s starving!) and burns muscle instead.

That’s how you end up “skinny fat” — thinner, but not toned or strong. Eating enough to fuel your body is essential if you want to build muscle and see real results.

Myth #4: “You can spot-reduce fat.”

I wish we could crunch our way to abs or squat away hip fat — but our bodies don’t work like that.

You can’t tell your body where to lose fat first. It decides that all on its own.

But here’s the good news: you can train specific muscle groups to shape your body’s curves and build that hourglass figure. So don’t stress about losing fat in one area — focus on training smart and let your body do the rest.

Myth #5: “More workouts = faster results.”

This is one of the biggest lies in women’s fitness.

Your muscles don’t grow when you’re working out — they grow when you’re resting.

Pushing yourself 7 days a week only leads to burnout, injury, and slower progress.
3-4 high-quality workouts each week will do more for your body than 7 half-hearted ones. Rest is where the magic happens!

The Real Secret to Seeing Results

Here’s what I told her — and what I’m telling you, too:

Stop following these outdated “rules” that were never designed for women who want real, lasting results. Building your dream body isn’t about punishing yourself or doing more of what doesn’t work.

It’s about:

  • Training smart and lifting heavy

  • Eating enough to fuel your goals

  • Staying consistent with what actually works for you

You don’t need to suffer to see results, babe. You just need the right approach.
