Integrity Health Coaching for Women. Rocco Boulay, CSCS dispels some of the myths and misunderstandings many face regarding health and fitness
Manchester, NH (PRWEB) March 06, 2012
Myth # 1 Crunches and abdominal work will get rid of the fat around my waist.
Answer: Not true. Unfortunately there is no such thing as spot reducing any area of your body. This holds true for all body parts. The truth is you can only firm up the muscles underneath the fatty area. Because everyone genetically stores his or her fat in certain areas it normally is a rule of thumb that the first place the fat (typically the belly and thighs) comes on is the last place it comes off.
Tip: Revisit what you are eating and replace those foods with those rich in protein and complex carbohydrates. Eat fats that are poly and monounsaturated while avoiding foods that contain trans fats. Dont believe what you see on television. Take your vitamins.
Myth #2 If your not sweating, your not burning calories.
Answer: Not true. All work burns calories. The body sweating is its way of keeping cool. Not everybody perspires profusely during exercise. Although sweating is great for detoxifying the body and keeping it cool, the amount of calories it takes to jog a mile is the same for everyone, whether you are sweating or not.
Tip: If you want to increase your caloric expenditure try 12-15 minutes of moderate cardio upon rising first thing in the morning before eating. This will increase your metabolic rate for the whole day, increasing daily calorie expenditure.
Myth #3 Muscle weighs more than fat.
Answer: Six of one or dozen of the other is a common phrase. Five pounds of muscle and five pounds of fat weigh 5 pounds. The real answer is 5lbs. of muscle is DENSER than 5lbs. of fat. This means that if you replaced 5 lbs. of fat with 5lbs. of muscle you would weigh the same but your measurements would be smaller. Just think of a golf ball as (muscle) and a tennis ball as (fat) and see that they weigh about the same thing but the golf ball is denser, therefore it takes up less space.
