1. You Can Spot Lose Fat

To Spot Train by Awayion Beauty

For starters, weight-loss equipment gurus are rich from this myth. They live the fabulous life because of the myth that you can target a fat part of your body and lose weight in that area. 

This is a myth because your body determines where to shrink fat cells — not you.

2. Cardio is #1 for Fat Loss not Strength Training

The myth that cardio is the best for fat loss isn’t true. Strength training helps you to lose fat and build lean muscle. The more muscle you have in your body the more fat you burn while resting.

Doing cardio alone does not build that toned body you want.

3. Long Hard (Endurance) Training is Good

Weight Loss by Awayion Beauty

The myth that you must train as a beast is terrible. Pushing your body too hard can lead to adrenal failure. Meaning your body will cling onto whatever fat it’s got for survival.

Clinging to fat is the opposite of your goal.
