myth 3! Miracle machines can get you fit with minimal effort!

The Truth:

Sounds too good to be true? You're right! Remember the first rule of exercising: if you do not work for it, it doesn't work. Quick-fit machine, promising fitness with no effort required sounds very good. But if it works, athletes would probably not need to train everyday and gyms would be out of business!

Myth 2! Eating before workout is bad.

Food and fluids will provide fuel which is required to provide energy for your muscles to work efficiently. So do take a small meal or healthy snack between one to three hours prior to exercising. Load up your body with some premium "fuel" such as fruit,yogurt or whole wheat toast before starting your daily workout!

myth1! SITS UP WILL REDUCE FAT AND STOMACH

THE TRUTH...
Sits-up DO NOT reduce fat around stomach! Exercising a specific muscle group of a particular body part will not burn fat from that area. Energy comes from fat, which goes to the muscle through the bloodstream and reduces stored fat from the body. Sit-ups may improve the size and shape of abdominal muscles,but will not target belly fat for loss..
