"If you want to lose weight, you gotta do lots of cardio!"
Fiction!
Prolonged periods on elliptical trainers, treadmills and so on could actually be harming your weight loss progress! Studies have found that long slow duration cardiovascular training (lasting more than 20 minutes) creates a release of the hormone cortisol AKA the stress hormone, into our blood stream. Cortisol actually has the adverse effect of storing fat (usually around the midsection of our body). However cardiovascular training does have a place in a weight loss routine; specifically tailored interval training and fartlek training designed by a Personal Trainer can greatly reduce body fat, increase muscle tone and increase your aerobic capacity.
"I cant lose weight, I have a slow metabolism"
Fiction!
People with slow metabolisms tend to be slimmer! Now i must make clear im not talking about your metabolic rate here, that's the number of calories you burn per day just living, I'm talking about the metabolism of food from food to energy/waste etc. People who metabolize food slower, digest food slower, stay fuller for longer and don't tend to snack on sugary foods. People with fast metabolisms, or people who oxidize food quickly, are more prone to sugar crashes, snacking, over eating and weight gain. A well planned individual dietary plan laid out by a Personal Trainer/Nutritionist will allow you to break through any plateaus or genetic "disadvantages".
"You can loose fat from specific areas of the body"
Fact!
But not via exercise, for example when you do 100 sit up's it does not mean you will loose fat from your abdomen. However we can pinpoint certain areas of the body in our mission against fat. Through careful measurements of various sites on the body, JW Fitness Solutions, based in Bristol, can determine which hormones are over-active or under-active and then, through specific exercise and supplementation can begin to normalize them, ensuring fat loss from problem areas and a more balanced hormonal system.
"Girls shouldn't do weight training unless they want to get bulky"
Fiction!
Testosterone is the male hormone responsible for many things including muscle growth. As a rule women have 10% of the amount of testosterone that the average man has, and look how often some of those knuckle heads are training! And even they can't do it! So your chances of getting too big are very very very slim. To avoid any risk, on your first training session bring in a photo of a woman who you think is too muscled and your Personal Trainer will make sure that is not what you look like.
"Personal Training is fun"
Fact!
Don't be daunted by what you think personal training will be like, there are no whistles, we don't shout in people faces and we never EVER say "Feel the burn". If a workout is not enjoyable people will never return to the gym. Here at JW Fitness Solutions in Bristol we pride ourselves on not only being someone's trainer but someone they can talk to. We have a laugh and a joke and often end up becoming good friends with our clients. Workouts are fun and varied and I promise you will never ever get bored.
What have you got to loose? Except a few pounds and a few clothes sizes.
