KEY WORD: DM us “level up”

In today's episode we go over seven fitness myths that everyone believes, why they are false and how to avoid them in your journey.

Listed points:

1- Myth: More sweat equals a better workout/better results

• The amount of sweat produced varies between individuals and depends on factors like temperature and humidity.

2- Myth: Spot reduction is possible.

• Fat loss occurs throughout the body as a result of overall calorie expenditure and cannot be targeted to specific areas.

3- Myth: Lifting weights will make women bulky.

• It's difficult for women to gain a significant amount of muscle mass due to hormonal differences compared to men. Lifting weights can actually help women improve their strength, tone their bodies, and achieve a lean and fit appearance.

4- Myth: Crunches are the key to achieving six-pack abs.

• Visible abs are primarily the result of low body fat levels, which are achieved through a combination of a healthy diet, overall fat loss, and strength training.

5- Myth: You have to eat all clean food to see results. OR do keto, fasting, carnivore, etc.

• Different things will work for differe people and there’s no one diet that will be best for everyone.

6- Myth: Stretching before exercise prevents injuries.

• A better approach is to engage in a dynamic warm-up, including movements that mimic the upcoming activity.

7- Myth: You can’t have carbs after (insert made up time) or you’ll gain weight.
