Read On This.. You Might Be Shocked

Surfing Livestrong.com As Usual And I Came Across This Slideshow On 20 Fitness Myths.. It Was A Great Read And My God I Thought I Was Right With Some Of My Workout Then Suddenly I Read This.. Aiseymen Kena Ubah Lah Sedikit Sedikit Ni.. So Here I Will Post A Few Of The Myths Then If Your Interested To Read On.. You Can Click On The Link Which I Provide Below.. You Might Be Shocked Haha.. So Here Goes:


1) Morning Is the Only Effective Time to Train
Are you a professional athlete doing two-a-day sessions? If not, the timing of your workout does not matter. What does is finding a time in your schedule when you can stay consistent with your training. Listening to your body and knowing when you perform the best will help you decide if, in fact, mornings, afternoons or evening workouts are your time of power. Energy and attitude are keys in having great workouts. So learn your body clock, and try to hit the gym when you feel the strongest.



2) Eating No Carbs Will Make Me Lean
Eating no carbs will make you angry and weak. If that’s your goal, then you are on track! It’s not: "Don't eat carbs." It’s: "Which carbs are you eating and when?" Whole grains, legumes, vegetables and minimally processed grains are all good examples of the carbs that you can eat frequently without worrying about weight gain

3) Work Out on an Empty Stomach to Burn the Most Amounts of Calories
This isn't true, but your schedule can dictate whether or not you eat. I suggest a small snack if you have an hour before you are at the gym, but you don’t need to eat. If you are a big breakfast eater, you’d ideally wait about two to three hours before you train to maximize your calorie burn and get the needed energy from your food. Again, assess what type of training you will be doing (weights or cardio) and eat in accordance to the amount of energy needed, time you wake up and when you will be starting your workout

4) Being in Excruciating Pain After Training Is the Sign of a Great Workout
A sign of a good workout is results, not soreness. Some localized muscular soreness that dissipates over a couple days can indicate that you worked hard. But feeling pain in your neck, lower back, or any joint is a sign that you’re movement patterns were off, the weight load was too heavy or you did too many repetitions. Review the workout that caused your pain so you don’t repeat the same disaster.

5) Fat Makes You Fat
This is the mantra from 1982! There are so many incredible studies out about the positive effects that essential fatty acids have on the body. EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune and nervous systems. They also help with maintaining a lean body and assist with consistent fat burning. That’s right: Eating fat burns fat! The chief function of EFAs is the production of prostaglandins, which control the body’s functions like blood clotting, fertility, heart rate and blood pressure, and helps with immune function by regulating inflammation, assisting the body to fight infection. Welcome to the year 2011 people! Fat is definitely your friend.
