This week on Bread and Better, Tegan and Alex dive into the world of fitness myths, debunking common misconceptions that have pervaded the industry. Tegan, with nearly a decade of experience as a personal trainer, shares her expert insights on topics such as whether weight training makes women bulky, the myth that you need to shock your body by mixing up workouts, and the idea that you need to be sweaty to have a good workout. They also discuss the importance of consistency over intensity, the realities of overtraining, and the actual role of supplements. Tune in for an informative and motivating session that promises to enhance your fitness ‘journey’. Whether you're a seasoned gym buff or a newbie like Alex, there's something in this episode for everyone.
Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.
