Myth: perfect weeks or nothing

Missing one workout does not ruin the week. Consistency is about showing up again the next day.

Plans that demand perfection create guilt and drop off.

Myth: you must burn off every meal

Exercise is not a punishment for eating. It is a tool for strength, energy, and health.

Trying to burn off meals leads to overtraining and low adherence.

Myth: more pain means more progress

Soreness is not the same as progress. Recovery is part of the plan, not a break from it.

Good programs balance intensity and rest so you can train again tomorrow.
