FITHOUSE

Sunday night blooper reel 😂

Chris works hard every week filming videos to bring you helpful fitness info.

As you can see, he has two tiny coworkers who are much more interested in stealing the spotlight. 😆

We think he has the best helpers ever!

You can work really, really hard and still be training for the wrong thing.

So in our latest education video, Chris ranks some of the most popular forms of exercise based on one question:

If your goal is to lose fat, build or maintain muscle, get stronger, and change your body composition, how effective is this type of training?

Pilates and barre? 1/10.
Boot camps? 2.5/10.
Random gym lifting? 6/10.
CrossFit? 6/10.
Properly programmed strength and hypertrophy training? 10/10.

Before you get mad, there's an important distinction:

We're not saying Pilates, CrossFit, boot camps, running, or anything else you enjoy are bad.

We're asking whether they're the most effective tools for the specific goal you have.

Because sweating more doesn't necessarily mean you're building more muscle.

Being exhausted doesn't mean you're creating progressive overload.

And doing the same workout over and over doesn't mean your body has a reason to keep adapting.

If your goal is to change your body, your training needs a plan.

And if you've been working incredibly hard without getting the results you expected, maybe you didn't fail the program.

Maybe the program failed you.

Watch the full video to see Chris's complete ranking—and why properly programmed strength training comes out on top.

This nutrition professor ate mostly Tw***ies, Doritos, snack cakes, and sugary cereal…

and lost 27 pounds. 🤯

So how is that possible?

And more importantly, what does this actually teach us about weight loss?

Chris breaks down the answer—and what it means for calories, macros, and fat loss—in the full video.

Can you lose weight eating Tw***ies?

Yep. You can.

And before you think we’ve completely lost our minds, there’s an important lesson here.

At the most basic level, weight loss comes down to energy balance. If you consistently eat fewer calories than your body uses, you lose weight—even if some of those calories come from Tw***ies.

That doesn’t mean you SHOULD live on Tw***ies.

Food quality matters. Protein matters. Fiber matters. Nutrient density matters. And if you want to lose fat while keeping the muscle that gives your body strength and shape, proper strength training matters A LOT.

But people often get so caught up in the details—perfect macros, eliminating certain foods, finding the “right” diet—that they lose sight of the biggest lever:

How much food are you actually eating?

And there’s another reason strength training belongs in the conversation: building and maintaining muscle helps you create a bigger, more capable “engine,” so you can lose fat without having to survive on tiny portions forever.

So no, we’re not prescribing a Tw***ie diet. 😂

We’re saying that understanding the fundamentals can make weight loss a whole lot less complicated.

Watch the full video to see how calories, macros, strength training, and exercise all fit together.

And next week, we’re getting into the pecking order of exercise—because not all exercise gives you the same bang for your buck.
