Here are the top 5 female fitness MYTHS debunked by science:
Lifting weights will make women BULKY
Building massive muscles is extremely hard for anyone… Lifting weights won’t make women bulky, but it will make them strong, lean and healthy if you’re interested in that.
Only use light weights for high reps for TONING
Save the pink dumbbells for a doorstop, ultra high rep training is dead practice. Sticking to strategic rep ranges will build the body of your dreams while reaping health benefits across the board.
Lifting weights is inherently DANGEROUS
Weight lifting is not inherently dangerous, not even close. But being brutally weak is actually a more risky daily practice. The stronger the better for men and women alike!
Cardio is the only way for women to get LEAN
Cardio may help you lose weight, but that “weight” may be muscle mass, which can lead to the dreaded skinny fat appearance. Not exactly the long-term result you had in mind from your daily run.
Eating too much protein will make women FAT
Protein should be prioritized, and eating more with goals of building muscle won’t leave you fat and dumpy. It will help you stay satiated and recovering from training more effectively than ever.
