Doctors Note:

When I read this article I was amazed by how the author put this together. These eight myths are myths that people easily fall into. Not just beginners, personal trainers too!! If you understand these myths you are already one step ahead in reaching your goals. 

I have told people over and over again about these common myths and am excited to see that finally someone else is on the same page. The author explains each myth very well, I urge you to check out the article.

Here are the eight weight loss myths:

1. Your genes determine your metabolism and body weight.
2. By performing strength and resistance exercises, women will bulk up.
3. You can spot-reduce to lose weight.
4. To build muscle, you should lift heavy weights/Xertubes and perform few repetitions, __but to tone a muscle you should perform more repetitions with lighter weights.
5. Strength and resistance exercise doesn't benefit your heart, only cardiovascular ----- ---exercise does.
6. I'll lose flexibility if I perform strength and resistance exercises.
7. This type of program will take a long time to achieve results.
8. I'm already too muscular.
