5 common fitness myths to ignore
βοΈ 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!
βοΈ You will get bulky if you lift weights
Building muscle literally takes years. You won't get bulky overnight or by accident!
βοΈ 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!
βοΈ 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.
βοΈ 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.
