5 common fitness myths to ignore
❌️ Fasted cardio is better for fat loss
Being in a calorie deficit achieves fatloss. Fasted cardio vs fed cardio won't make a difference. Do the cardio you enjoy!
❌️ You will get bulky if you lift weights
Building muscle literally takes years. You won't get bulky overnight or by accident!
❌️ High intensity interval training is best for fat loss
HIIT training is not best for fat loss. Overall you still need to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat. Again do the cardio you enjoy!
❌️ Exercises can target fat loss in a certain area of the body
Exercises can not spot reduce fat in any area. They can target a specific muscle but fat loss comes from being in a calorie deficit.
❌️ Muscles will turn to fat if you stop training
Muscles will atrophy (become smaller) if you stop training over a long period of time but they won't turn to fat. Fat and muscle are 2 completely different tissues.
