WOMEN
SHOULDN'T TRAIN WITH HEAVY WEIGHTS : Women don't do
weight training because they fear that by doing so they
will develop bulging muscles. Truth is, the hormone
estrogen wouldn't allow building up of muscles but will
only allow a shapely body.
FOOD
SUPPLEMENTS CAN BE HARMFUL : There are some food
supplements, especially protein, which can be beneficial
for fitness freaks. Of course, one should get them
prescribed by either a nutritionist or a qualified
instructor.
SIT-UPS ARE
BENEFICIAL : Latest research shows that full sit-ups
are actually harmful for the knees and also the back. To
eliminate these negative effects while doing sit-ups one
should only come up 30 to 40 per cent.
EXERCISE
WHENEVER YOU FIND TIME : One should exercise early
morning on an empty stomach. It takes just 29 minutes of
exercise in the morning to burn the food of last night.
First the body burns the carbohydrates and then the fat.
WORKING THE
TREADMILL IS ENOUGH : One needs to do the routine that
comprises warm-up, stretching and weight training
regularly to have a healthy body. Five minutes of warm-up,
five minutes of stretching and about 25 minutes of weight
training are considered sufficient. |
