Myth Busting The Fitness Industry

The fitness industry is noisy and complicated, with SO much information thrown at us - especially via social media! Here are just a few of the ‘myths’ I have come across.

1. Intermittent fasting isn't special for fat loss. 

If it helps you stick to your daily calories, cool, that's what creates fat loss. 

2. Creatine works, but it isn't "magical". 

Meaning if you aren't on a good nutrition and training program, you won't see much taking it. 

3. You don't need to be sore to have an effective workout.

Instead focus on lifting heavier or doing more reps over time.

4. Daily Steps should be your #1 cardio. 

After that, doing 1-4 days a week of 15-30min bouts of extra cardio can be beneficial.

5. Eating Pre Workout Helps Your Gains. 

Try to eat carbs 30-90min pre workout. If you workout super early, make your dinner high in carbs.

6. You cannot spot reduce fat via exercise.

So if a workout says "arm fat burner", don't believe it.

7. Alcohol doesn't "ruin" fat loss.. but it doesn't help.

I'd recommend sticking to 1-4 drinks per week for fat loss.

8. Strength Training 3-4 days per week is more than enough. 

9. You don't need a "detox" or "Cleanse" for your body. 

If you have a kidney and a liver, your body will take care of all the "detoxing".
