Don’t get me wrong—I love cardio.
It’s amazing for your heart, your energy, and your mood.
But for sooo long, I thought cardio alone (read: endless time on the elliptical 🫠) was the key to getting toned. Spoiler: it’s not.
What I didn’t realize when I started my fitness journey was this:
👉 You have to build muscle first, then burn fat to reveal it.
The fastest, smartest way to do both?
Weight lifting + HIIT, paired with progressive overload.
Once I stopped winging it and started training with intention—upping my weights, tracking my reps, and following a solid weekly split—my body actually started changing.
I don’t regret the time I spent working out. But I do wish I had started training smarter, sooner.
