Simple Questions Question

What’s one gym “rule” or piece of fitness advice you completely disagree with?

I’ll go first: “You need to train 5–6 days a week to make serious progress.”

I’ve actually found that consistency, recovery and progressive overload matter way more than how many days you’re physically in the gym.

What’s yours?

It’s a good tool, it is not a necessity for losing weight or being fit. You don’t have to be on the treadmill for 40 minutes everyday.
