Myth One: Spot Training, Spot Reduction...Forget About It!
People always want to know how to spot train and tone. "I hate my belly," or "I hate my flabby inner tighs!" It is a myth that you can reduce only certain areas of your body. The best way to attack your problem areas is by working a full body program strength and cardio program to melt the fat or reduce the muscle you build in your built out areas.
Myth Two: Anyone can get flat abs if they do enough crunches.
Please! If you want flat abs you gotta lose body fat that covers the abs. Crunches won't get you there. The treadmill and circuit training will!
Myth Three: My TRAINER told me to only workout in the Fat Burning Zone…why? Because they are woefully uneducated! Run away and join PNP!! Just kidding, but that is one of the worst pieces of advice to give out and here’s just one place that debunks that myth.You need to concentrate more on interval style workouts and higher intensity workouts to truly see fat loss.
Myth Four: Does doing cardio in the morning make me lose more fat?
OK…this link doesn’t actually debunk it, but it was full of such solid information on cardio and how it relates to training it belonged somewhere on this site. In the end, do your routines when you will do them. That's when you lose the most fat.
