Myth: Abdominal Muscles Can Be Trained Every Day
For millions of people from around the world, the aspiration for developing a strong and attention.grabbing waistline is a life.long struggle that seldom results in the desired outcome. It is therefor not surprising for many individuals, including top experts in the fitness field, to become seduced by the flawed and misguided notion of training the abdominal muscles every single day.
Tired of ambiguous, contradicting advice and information? In a world of self-proclaimed "experts" and "gurus" that peddle false or misleading
hype based on faddish and popular hearsay or inconclusive and unresolved data, it is that much easier to become disenchanted with the fitness community! Let's face it: Everyone loves a good story, especially if it promises to deliver us from strenuous, gut-busting hard work by
enticing us with a magic pill or quick fix. In some cases, the myths can lead to the other extreme by causing us to overshoot our targets, like the well-intended yet flawed idea mentioned above. At Total Fitness America, our devoted "Myths & Facts" section
aims to lift the fog of confusion and unravel the truths from the ropes of fiction! We do this by refraining from blindly following the rest of the herd of sheep, and dig deep below the surface from all angles to determine the most logical, scientifically-grounded conclusions. In other
words, our suggestions are based on compounded research and critical reasoning, rather than unfounded opinion.
