Fitness Myths

 


I'm sure we all have been there and believed any of this as truth while on a fitness journey isn't it? Since kids, we have been bombarded with so many wrong statements about myths that we have grown up believing it's true.

Let's clarify some myths about fitness here.
👉You have to cut carbs:
Carbs are the immediate energy resource of our body and give us the required nutrition. Every macronutrient has a role to play; hence, we shouldn't be depriving our bodies of it.

👉Lifting weights makes you bulky.
Building muscle is not so easy. It takes time, effort, consistency, and night nutrition.

👉 Sit-ups will give you 6 packs
Sit-ups alone will never give you 6 packs but a calorie deficit diet with a combination of different workouts like squats, deadlifts, and plank which involves your core muscle will.

👉 More sweats = more fat loss
The amount of sweat you released is nowhere connected to the amount of fat loss it's just a way of body cooling when the temperature of the body rises up during a workout. It's a temporary loss of water and not fat.

👉 More workouts = better results
Spending hours in the gym wouldn't give you better results. Effective training and nutrition combined with sleep, rest, and better muscle recovery will get you results.

👉 Fasted cardio to lose weight:
Whether you eat or not eating before a workout it will give you the same fat-loss results. Remaining in a calorie deficit is the key.

  Motherhood, Career & Me: The Moment I Chose Myself She looked at the clock—11:45 PM. The house was finally silent. The kids were asleep, emails were answered, and tomorrow’s to-do list had already started forming in her mind. She sat down for a moment, scrolling through old pictures on her phone. A selfie from years ago popped up—smiling, radiant, full of life. A woman she barely recognized now. Somewhere between back-to-back meetings, school pickups, late-night presentations, and making sure everyone else was okay… she had forgotten about herself. She wanted to work out, but there was always something "more important." She wanted to read a book, but exhaustion won every time. She wanted to dress up and feel beautiful, but when was the last time she even bought something for herself? And the worst part? The guilt. The guilt of wanting time for herself. The guilt of spending an hour at the salon instead of finishing that work report. The guilt of choosing a solo coff...

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE

WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHANCE When I first read this sentence from Mahatria's cover page ( my guru) it took me 5 years back when life gave me a chance to quit my dream job or take a plunge and be an entrepreneur and start my own consulting company. It was the toughest decision of my life. The feeling of insecurity, self-doubt, anxiousness, anxiety, and fear of failure lingered around me for months. I just took a leap of faith and revisiting those years I feel so blessed to have made that decision. Life gives us several such chances to think, accept and act and based on that we have three kinds of people: 1. Thinker: Who thinks, find possible excuses to convince he/she can't do it and give up even without trying. 2. Give up Think and start the journey and leave halfway. 3. Succeed: One who thinks accepts and takes necessary steps to succeed learning from failures. Life always gives you a second chance what you do with it, is what defines your journey. Just remember "It's NEVE...
