COMMON MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE WHEN EXERCISING IN THE GYM

We want to talk about the unfounded fear of strength training and finally eliminate the persistent myths!

You avoid strength training because you are afraid of muscle mass!

"Endurance training is easy. I stand on the cross trainer and burn up to 500kcal an hour. So I lose weight over time! "

 

At first glance, this statement is entirely correct, but unfortunately, weight loss also results in a loss of muscle mass. Exclusive cardio training without strength training makes the fat deposits shrink and the muscles. It not only has terrible effects on the appearance but unfortunately also on your health!

You may look leaner and maybe feel lighter, but the body fat percentage is often very high due to the reduced and far too low muscle mass. Keyword: "Skinny-Fat."

 

And the much-desired beach figure is unfortunately not attainable.

 

For genetic reasons, everybody from 30 breaks down around 1% of muscle mass per year. For some people, more, for others less. But that is just what can be reduced down, stopped, or even reversed with strength training - at any age.

 

Less muscle mass also means a generally reduced metabolism and energy consumption. The body switches to a kind of economy mode, which leads to less appetite. It ultimately makes you weaker, so you move less and feel limper.

Very important to mention: As a woman, please don't be afraid of strength training!

You will never be turned into an inflated, masculine bodybuilder just because you pick up weights. Even if this myth persists in circulation - to pack the body with muscles, it takes many years of hard and progressive training, superior nutrition, and numerous dietary supplements.

 

And even then, because of the completely different levels of hormones in their bodies, women have a challenging time gaining substantial muscle mass!

 

The most significant rule of thumb for training success is defining a goal and working towards it.

It is significant to have the right intensity; that is, enough weight must be used with an appropriate number of repetitions and exercise variations.

An "I-do-what-I-want-to-do-plan" brings only one thing to training - variety! Unfortunately, in very few cases, a type is useful and not recommended initially. Regularity is the key to success. Please don't get it wrong, variety is not bad, but it should happen at the right time to a reasonable extent.

 

However, it isn't easy to achieve the desired goals on your own: too many crooked theories, ideas, and myths are circulating on the internet and in various magazines.

We summarize!

 

Weight training is exhausting, but it's worth it. The list of positive advantages is more than long and has already been scientifically proven in various studies. A lot changes in the body, both visually and in terms of health, when doing progressive strength training. But of course, the technique should be right - strength training is a sport you have to learn, just like skiing, tennis, running, or swimming.

 

Because training success is based on a sports science approach, not every person is trained in anatomy and knows the connections between the human body. It is precisely where our experienced experts come into play, who have been trained and regularly trained over the years.

 

Do not be afraid to treat yourself to this support. There is absolutely nothing wrong with admitting that you need advice.
