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. 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.

Myth #0003:
Strength training with light weights and high repetitions effectively tones muscles.
You've heard it iconically recited by more people than you can remember - a horde of friends, infomercials, even personal trainers: "High reps with light weights will tone you up." With this adage mindlessly droned by the multitude, an enlightened and inquiring mind has to wonder if
such seemingly innocent hearsay slipped through the cracks of scientific scrutiny to grow into the rampantly prescribed yet flawed endorsement that it is. As I hammer out the facts of exercise physiology, behold the surprising truth behind this long-misleading fallicy that exemplifies the meaning of
"the blind leading the blind!"

Myth #0002:
Skipping meals helps with weight loss.
Traditional dietary logic suggests that eating less results in weighing less. However, the misguided practice of haphazard food deprivation, though well-intended, actually throws a wrench into your metabolic machinery and ultimately leads to more problems rather than solutions!

Myth #0001:
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.
