Check out our website to learn more www.colossusfitness.comIn today's episode we debunk seven fitness and nutrition myths you may very well believe. Listed points:1- Women/men should be training entirely differentPutting this one first cause it’s quite interesting.So many think women should be doing higher reps, minimal upper body etcThe main differences won’t be the exercises, but the overall frequency. Ex- some women 3 leg days, less chest volume, etcSome men more chest work, 1-2 leg daysBut it shouldn’t be a CRAZY difference like some people think2- Eating after 7/8/9pm time causes weight gain.It's not the time of day that matters but the total calories consumed. If you eat more calories than you burn, you can gain weight regardless of when you eat.CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE3- The more you sweat, the more you burn/the better the workout.Sweating is your body's way of cooling down. It doesn't necessarily correlate with the number of calories burned during a workout.4- Women will bulk up too much from liftingThis myth has discouraged many women from strength training.In reality, it's very challenging for women to bulk up like bodybuilders without specific training and nutrition programs. Strength training can help build lean muscle and improve overall fitness.5- Oatmeal/veggies/cereal/etc is horrible/going to kill you.6- Low-Fat diets are best for weight loss.Healthy fats are important for overall health, and low-fat diets are not necessarily the best approach for weight loss.7- Crunches/other ab exercises are the best way to get abs-Crunches can help strengthen your core, they are not the most effective exercise for achieving visible abs.A combination of a balanced diet, full-body strength training, and cardiovascular exercise is more effective.Thanks for listening!
