Have you ever been to the gym or fitness, just go straight to the cardio machines? They always go to the cardio machines? And 'the idea of venturing on weight machines or free weights area, you scared?

Well, you may be assured, you are not alone.

The truth is, he feels that is his weight on the side of the gym. After all, you usually see guys out there with huge muscles, what others do or doMen who know what they show. And if you do not have enough confidence to try the weight, see these guys are too intense persecution.

So, you think: "Well, I keep it simple, because the heart must be a good way to lose weight." If you think you are only 1 / 3 correctly.

I always tell people that there are 3 main components, health and fitness: diet / nutrition, strength training / weights and cardio. I will not coverthe first two of this article, but also for women that seem suspended in weight training.

Although there are a number of reasons for strength training, you can help, let me dispel the myths surrounding weight 3 women, with the train. I think the perpetuation of these myths prevent women from Total Fitness field and get the physical body and really want.

Myth 1 - "Weight training with me for a lookbody builder man /. "

The truth - It takes a huge amount of a hormone called testosterone to produce large muscles of rats, the results can be seen in many competitive bodybuilders and gym. Women do not naturally produce enough testosterone to produce some effects of this (in fact, many men and not to take supplements to make larger muscles.) Normally, we can not and lifting large.

Myth 2 - "I just do cardio and lose weight Ineed. "

Truth - The cardiovascular exercise is a good way to burn calories during the workout, burn calories will not continue until the people think. If you are training to take back by force in your workout routine, helps build muscle mass. Muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn during the day. Relying solely on cardio only a shell of your former self. Do not you want to look fit, lean andlow.

Myth 3 - "The weight training is only for men and bodybuilders.

Truth - The athletes of all levels to include some kind of force / weight / strength training in their specific sports training to be fit. Turner, skaters, runners, cheerleaders, players, rugby players of basketball, soccer, etc., can benefit from time in the weight class room, or just your body weight as resistance (as a basisPush-up). These athletes have recognized the need and benefit from strength training and results in practice and competition. Although not competing, you realize that your weight training increases the total force you and gives you more energy during the day.

Although only 3 of myths of women and weight training, training, I realized that the weight has its advantages: avoidingOsteoporosis increases the metabolism and increase muscle mass. And if these benefits are not enough for you, remember that muscle takes up less space than fat. So if you enter the skinny jeans, they want to hit the weights and show everyone how strong you are really.
