      Still more muscle myths!<\/p>\n

      Myth: Lifting Weights Will Make You Bulky <\/b>
      \nFalse! In fact muscle growth to the point of bulk occurs very slowly over a period of weeks, months, and years. I’ve heard people say that after they started lifting weights, they grew so much muscle that their jeans felt too tight and too small. While that may be true, strength training is not the cause. Muscle takes less space than fat, because it is denser.\u00a0 The more muscle you build, the tighter your body will be. A poor diet and lack of exercise, as opposed to a weight-training program, create the appearance of bulk.<\/p>\n

      Using heavier weights can be a time saver \u2014 studies show that you will get the same results when lifting heavier weights for fewer reps as you do with lifting lighter weights for longer. But no matter what size weight you use, make sure you choose one that is challenging your body the right way. The American Council on Exercise recommends that you choose a weight that fatigues your muscles within 90 seconds (aka makes you unable to perform another rep correctly), since that’s within the limit of your muscles’ supply of anaerobic energy.<\/p>\n


      \n<\/b>Myth: If you stop exercising, your muscle turns into fat.<\/b>
      \nFalse! Muscle is muscle and fat is fat! The two tissues are completely different and can’t convert from one to the other!\u00a0 Creating muscle helps burn fat, so when you have less muscle, your metabolism rate will be lower. Once your workout routine is consistent, you’ll be surprised at how toned you feel. Sure, something like a vacation or sickness\u00a0can set your regimen back, sometimes leading to weight gain.\u00a0 But your muscle won’t turn to fat.<\/p>\n

      Myth: You shouldn’t exercise with sore muscles.<\/b>
      \nThe right kind of exercise can make your sore muscles feel better,\u00a0 and help you recover.\u00a0 Don’t focus your workout on the sore muscles, do other body parts or lite cardio and stretching.\u00a0 Getting your muscles to move is the best way to reduce and eliminate soreness!<\/p>\n
