The fitness industry has convinced you that getting fit, lean, and strong has to be complicated—detoxes, carb cycling, fasting, tracking every bite. But the truth? Complexity is keeping you stuck. In this episode of Fitter Leaner Stronger Over 40, we're exposing why complicated plans feel productive but don't work long-term—and why the real key to results is simplifying your approach (even though it feels uncomfortable). Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Why the industry sells you complexity—and why you fall for it✅ Why simple strategies feel "too easy" (but are actually the most effective)✅ How overcomplicating fitness stops you from trusting your body✅ The sustainable approach that gets real results—without the burnout If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready for a smarter, simpler way to success, listen now!
