If you feel like you're doing everything right in the gym, but still not seeing results, this conversation will change the way you think about fitness.

Please welcome to On Purpose, Shannon Ritchie.

Shannon, it's great to have you here.

A lot of us.

I try to apply all this advice we hear on social media and on the internet and everywhere else, but we're not seeing the change in our body.

And you've spent years now helping people do exactly this.

So the first thing I want to do with you is actually start by busting some myths.

I want to dive right in.

Because I feel like we should just get right in there.

The first one is you'll only lose weight if you're doing tons of cardio.

The next one is no pain, no gain, which I think kind of speaks to what you just spoke about, like this idea of just destroying yourself in the gym.

But what's your take on no pain, no gain?

Okay, very, very clear again.

This one, running ruins your knees.

Got it.

Wow.

I feel like I'm learning so much already.

And I feel like these are things that we hear everywhere, right?

Like these are things that your parents said to you, your friends are saying to you, and they kind of get stuck in our minds and then we never even question them.
