• Today fitness has become an integral part of the
  society. With several people going to the gym,
  new modules of weight loss workouts are being
  developed. With more and more people opting for a
  healthier lifestyle, the fitness industry is
  thriving.
• Needless to say, the number of fitness
  enthusiasts is on the rise. There are blogs and
  websites that are released almost on a daily
  basis. There is a lot of information available at
  our fingertips. This is truly a big advantage.
  However, this has also led to several fitness
  myths that might be slowing down your progress.
  Here are 10 fitness myths that you need to stop
  believing

• 1. Sore muscles mean that you are working out
  better Most people believe that the sweatier and
  more painful the effects of the weight loss
  workout, the better. The truth is that you need
  to switch the intensity of your workout for
  better results. Muscles develop when they are
  also given ample rest. So, if you have had chosen
  a high intensity workout one day, choose
  something lighter the next day.

• 2. Drink lots of water to lose weightWater is
  essential for a good metabolism and to keep your
  appetite in check. However, the body does not
  benefit by just drinking lots of water. You need
  to pair an adequate water consumption with a
  good, clean diet to see results.

• 3. Squats lead to bad knees For those who are
  prone to problems with the knee or have had an
  injury or knee replacement, squats are not
  recommended. However, if you are able to do
  squats right, they can benefit your knees and
  prevent damage. The deeper the squat, the better
  as long as the knees do not go over the heels.
  The weight should be on the heels at all times.

• 4. Eating less leads to weight lossGaining
  unwanted fat is not related to the quantity of
  the food you consume. The quality of food that
  you eat determines fat deposits in your body.
  When you are on a regular workout routine, your
  body needs good to fuel the workout. Include lots
  of vegetables, lean meats, and fruits in your
  diet.

• 5. Muscles are heavier than fatThis is a strange
  fitness myth. One pound of muscle weighs the same
  as one pound as fat. The difference lies in the
  volume and density. Fat is three times the volume
  of muscles, making your body appear much larger.

8

• 6. Stretch before you workoutThere are two kinds
  of stretches. Dynamic and static stretches.
  Holding a certain stretching posture decreases
  the power of your muscle for a while. Instead,
  dynamic stretches are the way to go. They will
  keep the muscles in motion. That way the
  performance is improved.

• 7. Working out at night is bad for youNo matter
  when you workout, your body will benefit from it.
  However, you will need more time to unwind after
  a workout. You cannot hop into bed right away.
  When you have had a rigorous workout, the body
  and mind are energized. This will make it hard
  for you to fall asleep as soon as you workout.

• 8. Cardio is all you need Cardio is certainly
  important for the body. But, for an effective
  weight loss workout, it should be paired with
  strength training and conditioning. Changing your
  routine regularly and challenging your body will
  make you fitter and leaner. For instance, runners
  are benefitted by adding strength training to
  their routine with cardio.

11

• 9. Lifting weights will make you bulkyThis is a
  popular fitness myth among women. Women will
  never bulk up like men do. This is because of the
  low level of testosterone. In order to become
  slimmer and achieve a toned physique, opt for
  heavier weights and fewer repetition.

12

• 10. Longer workouts are better The minute you
  begin your weight loss workout your body begins
  to burn fat. You dont have to wait for half an
  hour for this process to begin. So, if you are
  unable to take a full hour out workout, a
  shorter, more intense workout will have the same
  effects.
