Do you still believe that sweating means you’ve had a great workout? Or that lifting weights will make you bulky?

These fitness myths have been around for years, and they’re still holding performers back.

In this episode of the Fit2Perform Podcast, Bobby and Steffan break down five of the biggest fitness lies performers still believe and explain what the evidence actually says.

We discuss:

✅ Why sweat isn’t a measure of workout quality
✅ What a warm-up should actually do before a show or training session
✅ The truth about lifting weights and becoming “bulky”
✅ Why you don’t need the “perfect body” to build a successful performing career
✅ Why endless cardio isn’t the fastest route to getting lean

Whether you’re in rehearsals, performing eight shows a week, auditioning, or simply trying to improve your health, these myths could be stopping you from making real progress.

🎭 Fit2Perform helps performers train smarter, reduce injury risk, and improve performance through evidence-based coaching, not fitness fads.
