Getting membership in a swanky gym will get you a super-celebrity physique:
Heavy amounts of cardio will cut the bad fat:
Most of the people have no idea what bodybuilders and celebrities/models go through to get the superman-like physique. People in those fields have plenty of time and money to invest on fitness activities, not only that, they're under expert supervision and go through a deadly dose of supplements each day. So getting into the 6 pack league is not easy as it seems. While such kind of gyms do offer a great workout environment and experienced trainers, but your results depend on your will and your efforts.
One of the most misunderstood concepts in fitness; while cardio is very important in the schedule, but heavy amounts of cardio every day might work otherwise. What most people end up doing while desperately trying to lose weight, is 'fasting' what they call 'dieting' , doing those endless cardio sessions. What that actually does is it slows down your metabolism, which will slow the fat burning process and in turn, your body will get its energy by breaking down those lean muscles, which are extremely important in cutting fats. All of this results in sudden, temporary weight loss along with malnutrition symptoms such as hair loss and pale skin, at times you might also end up gaining weight.
Referring to fasting as dieting:
Fasting is completely stopping to consume food, when you're supposed to. While fasting does have its pros, but it is NOT the alternative to what we call, dieting. Dieting is all about healthy eating, which most of the people get wrong. In today's times it may be difficult to maintain a strict diet, but it's your only alternative to healthy weight loss as well as gain. Dieting, for people who want to cut on fat, includes eating lesser amounts at regular intervals, so your stomach is full at all times. This helps in cutting your cravings, and boosts your metabolsim
You got to have supplements to gain/lose weight:
Well, this is also one of those huge myths that need to get straight. For most of the people who are lean, the main cause being the inefficient digestive systems, you may not be able to bulk up fats on a natural diet, but if you intend to building muscles, you can do so on a regular diet, without any supplements. Having a meals with high protein sources such as soy, fish, milk, eggs etc can get you healthy muscle mass, provided it will take time. Same implies for people who're trying to loose weight. Supplements can get you those results in shorter span, but they give a workout to you liver and kidneys as well and nothing in the world beats naturally built muscles.
Weights are for guys:
No. The fairer sex needs to lift weights to get toned physique. You may not be able to lift as much as guys, but moderate weight training, coupled with cardio workouts and a healthy diet play an extremely important role in in getting a toned figure.
