There so many old myths and misconceptions about exercising that still seem to be hunting many of the gym goers today. I feel it's important to address many of them since they might be the reason (s) that is holding you back from making the progress you desire.
Fat Targeting Areas Weight Loss Programs: Your body will burn fat where it feels like it, period. Can you imagine if we could burn fat in one area and leave other areas alone?? Unfortunately, that is not possible. We have no control on the location our body chooses to burn the fat. Many times, our bodies will be metabolizing fat located in our arteries, veins and around our organs before it begins to metabolism subcutaneous ( the fat right below our skin) and we might not even realize. If you work hard enough, your body will get results, but don't expect one machine or a program to work miracles with your body the way you want it to.
You Have to get a Gym Membership, Home Works outs Suck: Big lie!!!. While going to a gym might be very beneficial for some due to the equipment available and ready to be used, it might not be the best place for everyone to start. There are tons of reasons why people can't go to gyms and home work outs might be the best solution. Don't be discouraged if you work at home by yourself. Pump up the music and start moving! Hire a trainer if you don't know how to start. The secret is this : Work out at a place where you feel good and where you find yourself being more consistent.
Yoga is Completely Safe and Gentle: While yoga is a great form of exercising that will definitely challenge you, it is not necessarily easy,safe an gentle as you may believe.As a matter of fact, it is rigorous and requires both mental and physical toughness. Make sure you take it with someone who is qualified and who guide you at your own pace. Don't worry if everyone else is far more flexible and stronger than you, just work focus on working at your level.
You have to spend Long Endless Hours at a Gym if you Want to be Fit: A bunch of nonsense. In fact some of the best work outs can be finished in less than 45 minutes. It's not about the endless hours. I see people in gyms who go for two hours ( 30 minutes talking, 30 minutes waiting to use an equipment and 30 minutes looking at themselves in the mirror). As a matter of fact, to optimize results, you want to train no more than 1. 5 hours. Why do professional athletes train 4- 6 hours a day?. Because that is their life. They have a team of people who watches out for their nutrition, energy levels and so on.
You too can Look Like Arnold and other Bodybuilders one Day: Hmmm, I am afraid a lot of the results you will obtain are subject to your own genetics. Not everyone has the genes to have 23 inch arms like many of the professional bodybuilders we see today. By all means, work hard and heavy if your goal is to get big, but realize that your will grow only to it's limits and nothing more. That is if you keep yourself clean of illegal substances.
Women Should not Do any Form of Weight Lifting: Women often benefit more from weight lifting than men. One reason is women tend to lose much more bone density at an earlier age than men do. Strength training can help you build up your bone mass and musculature. Don't worry ladies, you won't be bulky or very muscular. You would need a LOT of extra testosterone for that.
