Caveat Emptor!
If you are in the
business of buying and selling then you have probably heard this Latin phrase
more times than you care to remember! We all know that it means “let the buyer
beware!” So how does this relate to female training and fitness? Well this
world of ours is one huge market, full of hustlers and more. There is so much
information and misinformation about what is right and wrong about any given
fitness topic that you just have to be careful about buying into everything you
are told.
If you are a woman (or Man) who
wants to get back in shape, lose weight or just live a healthier lifestyle. It’s
safe for me to assume that you would probably consult the internet for
information, and here’s where it can get tricky as you try to sift through all
the information at hand and you end up consulting multiple sources and you'll
often get multiple answers. What I want to do today is to clear up all the smoke
that can cloud your thinking. I have decided to address six common
misconceptions when it comes to women's training, nutrition and weight loss.
Thereby saving you the confusion—and lost time—that comes from Googling it!
Ladies if you just scroll down you
will find out real answers to questions that have kept you out of the gym and
from creating your perfect body, so please read on and find out the whole
unadulterated truth and if you are a guy don’t close the page. You will find
useful tips for your better half and she will love you all the more for it. So
what are you waiting for?
Do have a lovely day!
MYTH
1: Lifting heavy will make you look like a man
Chei! This has to be number one and
we have all heard it before! Sadly a lot of people buy into this and don’t
exercise. Ladies let’s cut the BS once and for all, it isn’t true! It’s true
that any woman who lifts weights over time will become progressively stronger,
but that doesn't mean that she'll physically start to look like a man. You see,
women produce very little testosterone compared to men. Even serious female
trainers with years of experience can't build the bulky muscle you see on male
bodybuilders. So don’t fret about looking like a man ok? I know you have seen
women who look like the incredible hulk and I have only this to say: STEROIDS!
If you are not into that, then you have nothing to fear. For the normal woman,
the process of becoming stronger and building lean muscle mass is the accumulation
of dozens—if not hundreds of workouts. By adding lean mass to your body, you
burn more calories on a daily basis and stay leaner. So don't be afraid to grab
some heavier weights!
