FITNESS "LIES" PART1
1. In order to squat deep your knees WILL go over your toes. You can clearly see mine does. As long as you have good technique with your squats, there’s nothing wrong with a slight knee over your toes. It creates a better range of motion, your chest sits more upright, it puts less pressure on your lower back and you have a reduced chance of injury. Knees over toes is NOT bad.
2. One bad meal doesn’t ruin your hard work. Just like one good meal doesn’t make you fit. Consistently eating ‘unhealthy’ foods and over consuming your daily calories is what’s bad. Keep it moderate. Once a week or every two weeks for indulgences.
3. It doesn’t matter what time you workout. Time does not affect your results and training at a certain time doesn’t fasten up your progress. Pick any time in your day that’s convenient for you and just get your workout done. That’s what matters.
4. I don’t know how many times I’ll have to say this. Lifting weights will not make a woman turn into a man. You will be more defined, yes, but… that’s not manly.
5. Cardio is necessary for cardiovascular health and should be done. Excessive cardio without prioritizing weights WILL make you lose weight- that includes losing muscle mass. Balance your cardio with strength workouts. Less is more. 25 minutes of cardio is sufficient.
