There are always new trends, techniques, and fad diets gaining popularity, but\u00a0<em>there are also many myths that are important to look past!<\/em>\u00a0This month, we\u2019d like to break down a few of these common myths in order to help keep you on the right track.<br><strong>1 \u2013 It\u2019s best to workout in the morning. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The best time to work out is actually when you can do so most consistently! If you\u2019re only free to work out one morning every week, but you\u2019re free every night after 8pm, you are better deciding to keep up your routine at night.<em>Consistency is key, so don\u2019t hyper focus on the time of day!<\/em><br><strong>2 \u2013 Weightlifting can turn your fat into muscle. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Fat and muscle cells are entirely different<\/em>, so one can\u2019t simply turn into the other! While working out can help you to burn away fat, muscles actually form in the areas surrounding fat. Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking the process is that easy!<br><strong>3 \u2013 You need to workout (x amount of time) in order to get any benefit from it. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0While there are a wide variety of opinions and rumors surrounding how long you need to work out in order to gain any benefits from it,\u00a0<em>we encourage you instead to focus on finding time for a consistent workout routine, no matter how much time you have available<\/em>. If you only have 30 free minutes once a week or an hour free daily, the key is consistency and ensuring that you do keep up a workout routine in order to earn the health benefits.<br><strong>4 \u2013 The more you sweat, the better your workout has been. \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0This one is widely popular, but also false! Sweat may be the way your body vents heat, but it doesn\u2019t always correspond to how intense your workout has been.\u00a0<em>Sweat varies person to person and it\u2019s a matter of individuality<\/em>, not a sure measure of your workout achievements!<br>No matter what myths you\u2019ve heard about fitness, the Platinum team, our certified trainers, and our blog are\u00a0<strong>ready to help keep you on the right track!<\/strong>\u00a0Be wary of what workout rumors you hear\u2013 be sure to fact check when it comes to your fitness goals!
