In fitness, there are tons of misconceptions, myths, and lies. We often put too much value on stuff that doesn’t matter and completely ignore things that deliver lasting results.
With that in mind, I’ve put a list of 22 overrated things and their underrated counterparts.
Strength training for fat loss is a controversial topic. Lots of people out there believe that lifting weights is only useful if your goal is to build muscle and gain strength. And if you don’t want to be ‘big’ and ‘bulky’ you’d be much better off doing cardio instead.
To be clear, cardio can help with fat loss, but using it as a stand-alone tool for the job won’t deliver desirable results.
Weight training, on the other hand, is much more useful for fat loss, even for individuals who aren’t interested in being muscular or ‘big,’ but only want to look good.
One critical factor influences our behaviors more than any other. It’s often left in the dark, but just as gravity keeps us planted on this blue planet, so does this power ultimately shape who we are.
That power is our environment design.
Up until a few years ago, if someone had asked me what separates those who succeed from those who fail, I’d have made some generic statement like, “Luck. Being at the right place at the right time.”
These days, I lean much more on the small daily actions and the environment we live and work in.
With so many fitness articles online, it is easy to get overwhelmed and confused.
There are so many blogs, magazines, books, and youtube channels that you would need ten lifetimes to consume all of that information.

To that end, I’ve put a list of 200 of the best fitness articles from around the web. Enjoy!
