MYTH
If you don’t work out, your muscles will turn into fat!
FACT
Lower your calories and increase the intensity of your workouts. Increase your reps to burn more calories and build core strength in your muscular tissue.
MYTH
To keep your muscles tight, don’t stretch before lifting weights.
FACT
Before committing to any tough activity you should stretch for at least for a few minutes. You’ll not only lower your risk of injury, but you’ll also perform better.
MYTH
More strength comes from bigger muscles.
FACT
There is no conclusive evidence that the size of a muscle indicates whether it is stronger or weaker than others. A slimmer diet mixed with endurance cardio training, will result in muscles that are highly detailed and visible, making them appear smaller but more defined.
MYTH
As long as you exercise, you can eat as much junk food as you want.
FACT
No matter how much you exercise to burn it off, consuming a lot of junk food will have negative consequences for your body. Concentrate on choosing nutrient-dense, calorie-dense foods. The food you consume can still affect you.
