Sport: 2 myths about the sport to mystify for lose weight

Monday, March 1st, 2010

The health industry and sporting / fitness are filled with myths about the sport. Many of these myths prevent them from losing weight properly. Some myths about the sport are used as excuses for not doing sports. Other myths about the sport are designed as shortcuts during exercise.

1) The muscles turn into fat if you do not do sports regularly
Demystifying: This is not true. The fact is that muscles and fat are two completely different tissues which are two completely different things.

Muscle tissue is specialized with the ability to conduct electrical impulses and relax or contract, which allows us to move.

The adipose tissue, also called adipose tissue, their function is energy storage. The location of adipose tissue determines its type. Thus, visceral fat is the fatty tissue around the abdominal area beneath the abdominal muscles. The subcutaneous fat lies just under the skin in various parts of the body.

What is important to know is that muscle and fat are 2 different types of tissues that do 2 different jobs. So it is physically impossible that the muscle turns to fat, or fat turns into muscle.

If you stop playing sports, your muscles will atrophy and lose their tone, but they will not turn into fat. Similarly, if you stop doing sport but keep eating, your body will store more fat while muscle mass decreases.

2) weight training makes women too muscular
Demystifying: No, not that much. When it is necessary to muscle, women lack testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone that facilitates the natural affinity of people to develop muscle mass.
That said, some people tend to add muscle mass faster than they can burn fat. This could result in development of the muscles at the beginning. But continuing to play sports and follow a balanced diet, excess fat goes and toned muscles are more apparent.

2) Reward yourself after each short period of healthy life
Reward yourself with a gift after a week when you ate healthily and did regular exercise. It is important that the reward is not food. Make a manicure or cut your hair, buy flowers or clothes, everything but food.

3) Share your workouts with a friend
Find a (e) ami (e) to exercise along with you. Set the dates of exercise sessions with your friends once a week. If you’re exercising with another person, there will be much less likely that you miss one or more workouts

4) Prepare sporting a date training
Put your sports clothes and shoes in a bag and put it near the entrance to your home the night before a workout (whether it takes place outside).
