![]() ![]() Myth 10 The gym is crowded, dirty and just not for me! It’s all about getting in great shape by doing what you gotta do! Any time you’re feeling nervous about being in the gym, remember that you’re in there to do a job and you owe it to yourself to conquer your fears by facing them head on! Motivate yourself by thinking about the fact that you’re doing what most people won’t do or don’t think they have time to do. Even those so-called “gym rats” don’t always feel confident. The gym actually intimidates more people than you think. Incorporating 30 minutes into your daily schedule for working out will be well worth it as exercise has been proven to elevate mood, which naturally leads to far better results and more productivity in the work place. ![]() Myth 8 There’s not enough time to exercise if you’re working full-timeĮven if you’re feeling like your work schedule leaves you with no time to exercise, keep in mind that exercising can actually improve your work performance. How do you create results consistently? Change your action plan! Your body reacts similarly and stops producing results when you do the same exact activities day in and day out. When you get bored, it’s easier for you to get depressed and our productivity can come to a screeching halt. It’s true that it’s difficult to get back on track after losing motivation, but it’s not impossible. Myth 7 Once you lose motivation, it’s impossible to get back to a healthy routine Therefore their weight either remains stable or goes down. This myth may have been created by people with such high metabolic rates (lucky them) that no matter how much they eat or what they eat they never meet or exceed the amount of calories that they burn in one day. If we eat more calories than we burn on a consistent basis, our bodies will accumulate these extra calories as fat regardless of the amount that we exercise. Our individual metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise. How we wish this was true! However, this could not be further from the truth. Myth 6 As long as you exercise you can eat anything you want Again, muscle and fat are very different types of tissue. The way a body transformation occurs is by gaining muscle through weight training and losing fat through aerobics simultaneously. This is the equivalent of saying that you can turn any metal into gold. Myth 5 Weight training turns fat into muscle Therefore bad eating habits, combined with the fact that metabolism is lower due to inactivity and lower degrees of muscle mass, give the impression that the subject’s muscle is being turned into fat while in reality what is happening is that muscle is being lost and fat is being accumulated. What happens many times is that when people decide to go off their weight training programs they start losing muscle due to inactivity (use it or lose it) and they also drop the diet as well. Muscle and fat are two totally different types of tissue. This is like saying that gold can turn into brass. Myth 4 If you stop weight training your muscles will turn into fat Therefore, by performing these exercises correctly, your stretching capabilities will increase. Exercises like flys, stiff-legged deadlifts, dumb-bell presses, and chin-ups stretch the muscle in the bottom range of movement. If you perform all exercised through their full range of motion, flexibility will increase. The only way to increase your breast size is by gaining fat or getting breast implants. Weight training does increase the size of the back, so this misconception probably comes from confusing an increase in back size with an increase in cup size. As a matter of fact, if you go below 12 percent body fat (which we don’t recommend), your breast size will decrease. Therefore, it is impossible to increase their size through weight training. Women’s breasts are composed of mostly fatty tissue. Myth 2 Exercise increases your chest size Women who conduct weight training without the use of steroids get the firm and fit cellulite-free looking body that you see in most fitness shows these days. In addition, most also have good genetics that enable them to gain muscle quickly when they spend hours in the gym lifting very heavy weights.īelieve us when we say that they do not look like that by accident. Many of those women unfortunately use anabolic steroids (synthetic testosterone) along with other drugs in order to achieve that high degree of muscularity. The image that may come to mind is of professional female body-builders. Myth 1 Weight training makes you bulkyĭue to the fact that women do not produce as much testosterone (the hormone responsible for increasing muscle size) as males do, it is extremely difficult for a woman to gain huge amounts of muscle mass. Let us remove some of the infamous myths thrown around which at best are confusing and to allow you the chance with getting on with yuor training and enjoy it.
