Today I want to squash these myths about weight loss and exercise once and for all. These are the top 5 objections and skeptism I hear everyday why someone will never get started on an exercise program.

5 Top Myths:

Myth # 1 Dieting Will Eliminate Fat

Dieting and restricting your caloric intake is the worst thing for you to do especially if you want to lose weight. By dropping your calories and starving your self, you are actually slowing down your metabolism and making it hard to burn body fat.

Instead try to eat 5-6 small meals a day, limit the amount of sugar and fat from your daily intake, and exercise daily. Follow these 3 steps and you will start seeing significant results.

Myth #2 Pills, Powders & Shakes Can Make You Skinny

Diet pills, fat burners, and replacing your meals with protein shakes are good but only in moderation. You can't keep weight off if you are replacing real food with protein shakes or taking fat burners all day.

Your body will actually get dependent on fat burners that the moment you get off of them, your body will put the weight back on.

Protein shakes should only be taken after your workouts or at night before you go to bed. Because protein shakes are processed, your body won't expend any energy or increase it's metabolism. Protein shakes are already broken down to it's most simplest form so your body won't expend any energy to break it down. It's only good for nutrient absorbtion after exercise and as a emergency.

Instead use fat burners when you feel you hit a plateau in your training to give your metabolism an extra boost. Use protein shakes as an emergency if you don't have time to eat real food.

Myth #3 Doing Aerobic Exercise Everyday Will  Burn The Most Fat

The truth about cardio is that your body stops burning calories after 90 minutes of cardio. Cardio is great for burning the extra body fat but the best way to burn fat 24 hours a day is by doing resistance training.

The more lean muscle tissue your body has, the more your body will burn body fat while at rest. Since muscle is an active tissue in your  body and fat is not active, the more muscle you have the better off you will be with your weight loss efforts.

Myth #4 Resistance Training Doesn't Burn Fat, It Will Bulk You Up

Just like in myth #3, resistance training increases metabolism and burns body fat 5 times more than cardio training alone.

The only reason why people bulk up when doing weight training is because your metabolism is so high due to more lean muscle tissue that most people tend to over eat.

Because your muscles want nurishment, your body will overconsume the fats, sugars, and excess calories from your meals. This is what gives the bulky look.

Myth #5 Thigh Reducers, Tummy Trimmers & Body Part Shapers Can "Spot" Reduce.

Let's face it their is no quick fix out there. So the next time you see a fancy piece of exercise equipment that says they can get you to lose weight in half the time...they are lying.

Here are 3 keys to losing weight:

1) You must have the right nutrition. 85% of you seeing any results is nutrition. You can workout as much as you want and if you are not eating right you will NEVER accomplish your goals.

2) You must incorporate a cardio and resistance training program together. In order to get in shape, you need to blend the two workouts together. More of one thing is not good. You need to incorporate both.

3) Get a coach. Stop trying to lose weight on your own. How many times have you tried and not succeed? It's a lot easier to accomplish your goals by hiring someone who knows the answers and can help motivate you to get past your plateaus.

It's about to be January 1st and I have one question for you...what are going to do get to your fitness goals this year?
