India, Aug. 8 -- If you're over 40 and trying to lose weight, spending hours on cardio may not be the best way to achieve lasting fat loss. In an Instagram post shared on July 26, fitness coach Bobby explained why people should stop treating cardio as a way to "earn" their food or compensate for what they have eaten.

"Stop using cardio to earn your food. That's probably why you're stuck," Bobby said. However, the fitness coach clarified that this does not mean people should stop doing cardio altogether. Instead, he advised using it as a tool to support overall health rather than treating it as punishment for eating. (Also read: Skipping dinner, avoiding rice and relying on cardio?
