Myth: Cardio is Best to Burn Fat<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\">Still a strongly held myth especially around holiday time! Cardio may burn more calories than resistance training during the workout, [unless you push it with multi-joint exercises using a\u00a0 challenging weight and very little rest]\u00a0 lifting weights torches more fat overall. <i>The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research<\/i>, published a study in which they found that women who completed an hour-long strength-training workout burned an average of 100 more calories in the 24 hours afterward than those who skipped the weights. The more muscle on the body, the more fat burned.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #073763;\"><b>2. Myth Cables and Resistance Bands are Best [better than weights] for Getting Toned\u00a0<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\">Who made this up? The same folks who say weights make you bulky? There&#8217;s no real basis for this myth. All three methods work! You can mix it up, but ultimately, it&#8217;s the form, execution, plan\u00a0 and consistency that will make your body change. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #073763;\"><b>3. Myth: Lunges Burn Fat from Your Hips and Butt\u00a0<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\">You can&#8217;t spot reduce!\u00a0 Sure you can strengthen and tone your legs with squats and lunges, but you&#8217;ll never see the shape if you don&#8217;t eat properly!\u00a0 Fat is burned systematically or from all parts of your body. So despite focusing on training one muscle group, you can&#8217;t fool your body into using fat from one specific area.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"color: #073763;\"><b>4. Myth: Leg extensions are safer for your knees than squats.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most of the time squats are safer for your knees than leg extensions!\u00a0 A recent study in <i>Medicine &amp; Science in Sports &amp; Exercise <\/i>found that single joint exercises (ie &#8220;open-chain&#8221;), such as the leg extension\u2014are potentially more dangerous than multi-joint exercises (ie &#8220;closed-chain&#8221;) such as the squat and the leg press. The study found that leg extensions activate your quadriceps muscles slightly independently of each other, and just a 5-millisecond difference in activation causes uneven compression between the patella (kneecap) and thighbone. Since the knee joint is controlled by the quadriceps and the hamstrings, the leg extension can contribute further to muscle imbalances. Learn to do squats and lunges properly for greatest benefit to your knees and body!<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/fitnessmakeover.com\/images\/social\/yellowcommenthappy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fitnessmakeover.com\/images\/social\/yellowcommenthappy.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><b>MOTIVATION<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #073763;\">What is your holiday plan?\u00a0 Do you forget about losing weight until new year or do you stay focused, but give yourself some slack.
