To get the most out of your training it's crucial to understand the most popular fitness myths. If you don't know the truth behind the myth, you could be hindering your progress to get the results you deserve.

Top Ten List

· Myth 1: "Women shouldn’t weight train because if they do they will bulk up."

Strength training is critical to maintain a healthy weight and strengthen your body. The average woman doesn’t have the amount of hormones necessary to build vast amounts of muscle.

· Myth 2: "If I’m not sore the next day then I didn’t work hard enough."

Muscle soreness is caused by tiny tears in your muscle fibres and while some soreness is expected if you regularly change your programme, being sore for days after your workout most likely means you overdid it.

· Myth 3: "Cardio training is the only way to lose weight."
