Debunking top 10 fitness myths

You could crunch you way to abs like Arnold Schwarzenegger's but if you have a layer of body fat over them, they'll never show. It's a myth that crunches will burn the fat off your belly. Modify your diet and start moving on a treadmill. Now that will work.

Fitness professionals Chris Hoover and Jeremy Koerber debunk the crunch myth and nine others in this article. They tell us it's just not true that weightlifting makes women bulky: "Unless they are using steroids, it's not going to happen," says Hoover. These guys also report that there is not actually an easy way to lose weight.

"It's called work. (That person in that ad) didn't get that body in 20 minutes a day, three days a week," says Koerber. "It's just not possible."

What about the belief that workouts must be intense to be beneficial? Nope. Actually, the body burns fat as efficiently when you do low to moderate-intensity workouts. Unfortunately, though, it takes longer to burn calories this way.
