Truth- Cardio burn rapid calorie and hence people consider it the best way to lose weight. Whereas it is not really so. Cardio is necessary, but strength training increases your body’s ability to burn calories. This is the reason why the combo of cardio and weights is considered the best. Keep in mind that just running will not make a matter if the diet and strength are not taken care of.
Myth 3- It is necessary to workout for hours for good results
Truth- You have often seen people doing workouts in the gym for hours. Looking at their tone body, it seems that it is necessary to workout for hours to get good results. While this is not true. 30-45 minutes of smart and focused workouts are also enough. Keep in mind that there is no time in workouts, but consistance and intesity matters.
