Popular Weight Loss Myths Busted by the Best Personal Trainer in Washington, DC
Becoming familiar with the popular (and still widely preached!) weight loss myths can equip you in your search for the best Washington, DC personal trainer. These fallacies have been the training pillars of the pseudo-gurus of fitness, who has done nothing but pump out cash from their poor, desperate clients.
Myth #1: Aerobic workouts are the answer to weight problems.
Busted: USDA had recommended 60 to 90 minute aerobic exercise to lose fat in the year 2005. But the results later showed that the people who had done rigorous exercise for not less than 60 minutes per day for 6 days a week ended up losing only 6.5 lbs of body fat in a year.
Although aerobic workouts are helpful for endurance training they are not very efficient in losing body weight. Interval training on the other hand heightens you metabolic rate even after 12 to 36 hours of regular workouts.
Myth #2: Abdominal crunches will help in getting perfect abs
Busted: The best Washington, DC personal trainers explain that we naturally have nice abs hiding beneath the layers of fat snuggling in our tummies. The only way to reveal great abs is to throw the fat out of the window. You think an isolation exercise, such as crunches, can effectively do that?
The best way of getting rid of this unwanted fat, is by involving a larger number of muscles to use up a huge amount of energy. Isolated exercises only focus on a particular area in the body and if crunches are not done the right way you could end up hurting your neck or back.
Personal trainers at Washington DC feel that squats are a more efficient way to lose excess fat because they involve both upper and lower body muscles. This activity is highly useful in recruiting more muscles rather than just the muscles in one particular area. When this fat is burned, you will be happy to realize that you had wonderful naturally designed abs hidden beneath the fat all along.
Myth #3: By increasing reps, light weights will help in developing well toned muscles.
Busted: The only way to define both men and women's muscles alike is through a heavy weight period! A million reps with a 1-lb dumbbell is pretty much similar to propping yourself in a couch watching football on a Friday night.
Myth #4: Eat less and workout more.
Busted: Eat healthy food and do a lot of exercise. It is so disappointing to see people constantly going on and off crash diets. They skip meals in order to lose weight and only end up gaining it all back. Hence it is always advisable to eat more and exercise more. Complete starvation only makes you crave for more food, so you very quickly put back all the weight you lost.
Eat better foods, exercise more. Munch on better foods such as fruits and veggies, whole-grain foods, nuts and beans! - 17268
