Even if morning workouts have some benefits, evening workouts seem to work best for me. Everyone is different, and whatever keeps you exercising is the way to go. |
Thanks for sharing! :-)

Thank you for this article, Meg! :D
You are incredibly inspiring to me! I'm 5'4" and currently wearing a size 18, but used to wear a size 24. I've had it drilled into my head for years that because I don't have a thyroid, I'll never be a "small girl" and I am through believing that! I've just completed my first week back at the gym and have only worked out on the elliptical machine, but I meet with my trainer tomorrow and I'm ready to start my strength training regimen. You have seriously given me more motivation and I am SO thankful! Thank you for showing me that a size 22 can get to a size 4. You're amazing! :hug: |
Wow! I felt like I was answering that cow question... Say “silk” five times. Now spell “silk”. What do cows drink?
Muscle turns into fat when you stop working out... yes... NO! Oh ya, duh! that's not even physiologically possible! :o |
This is very interesting. I didn't know that it takes a long time to gain muscle (especially for females). I started weight training in August and I gained weight which I thought was muscle. Now I have no idea what I gained... hopefully it isn't fat.
These are all great myths that have been given the real truth. I need to keep these in mind when I continue to workout and do aerobic exercise. Thanks for the truth! |

Thank you for 3, 4, and 5. Those are some of the not-so-obvious ones that people fall for.

people arguing that muscle weighs more than fat
a pound is a pound is a pound muscle takes up less space than fat so it takes more than a pound of muscle to take up the same amount of space as fat as for the argument of the best time of day to exercise there have been many studies done to prove and disprove morning being the best time i dont recall the link at the moment, but my favorite study discussed the fact that some of us are naturally morning people and some of us are naturally more nocturnal the nocturnal people (like me) will benefit more from exercising in the evening basically, if you are a morning person, youll benefit best from exercising in the morning, and if you are a night owl, youll benefit the best from exercising at night i know when i believed the myth that you had to get up balls early in the morning to get the most out of exercising, i gave up QUICKLY so i could get some dang sleep! when i read that study and started exercising when i wanted to, the lbs practically fell off on their own |

8. Wait to start your exercise program until you’ve lost some weight.
The one above stuck out to me. It's like saying dont turn your car on just wait for the car to start my itself. Sounds like the chicken and the egg syndrome where you can wait forever. The best thing is to just get started now and track your progress on a weekly basis. Small improvements are more motivating then never starting at all. |
