Embrace Your Real

5 exercises that don't actually build the body you want

13 Oct 2025

Description

You're showing up for workouts, putting in the effort, but you're not seeing the changes you want in your body. Sound familiar? The truth is, it might not be you, it might be the exercises you're spending time on. Some of the most common "go-to" moves look productive, but they don't actually build the strength, muscle, or definition you're after. In this episode, I'm breaking down 5 exercises that aren't giving you the return on your effort,  and sharing simple swaps that will finally help you feel stronger and more confident in your body. Here's what we're diving into: Why endless crunches don't build the strong core you want The truth about tiny tricep kickbacks (and what works better) Why cardio alone won't change your body composition The booty machine myth and better ways to grow your glutes Why Smith machine squats aren't as effective as you think If you've ever felt like your workouts aren't paying off, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make every rep count. 🎧 Want more?
