What's the biggest fitness myth you typically see hinder results?
What's the biggest fitness myth you typically see hinder results?
Amy C. You need to eat whole grains.
Kila H. Clients thinking they can just strength train and get results.
Nutrition is the key to maximal results.
Ray C. Calories in Calories out. So many people believe that just counting calories will be an effective nutrition strategy. There are numerous studies in JAMA proving different ratios of protein, carbs, and fats have differing metabolic effects. Additionally, the body needs nutrients before calories. Not getting enough vitamins, minerals, enzymes etc can cause metabolic issues,weight retention, and other disease driving deficiencies.
Shaun F. The misconstrued idea that women who workout using dumbbells or free weights will become bulky and look like a bodybuilder.
Travis N. The one that I hear from people the most is the you should lift light weight with higher reps to get lean and heavier weight and lower reps to build muscle. Lifting with higher intensity (higher weight, moderate reps) has been proven to increase your metabolism for a longer period of time after your workout which in turn makes you burn more fat and get leaner.
