Common
myths about exercise among women
New Delhi (IANS): A few women are
scared of squats because they are said to be bad for knees. This and more are
misconceptions that women have regarding exercises, says an expert. Fitness expert and nutritionist Neeraj
Mehta shares a few exercise myths among women:
1.
Weight training will bulk up my body: Male and female
bodies differ in many ways. Weight training reacts in different ways for both
the body types. Male body produces a hormone called testosterone which is
essential if you want to gain size. Good news is that female body does not
produce this hormone. So chances of getting bulky if you lift weights are nil.
Instead, weight training will help you in toning up.
2.
I should not work out during menstrual cycle: You can
and you should workout during your menstrual cycle. Exercising during your
periods will help you in reduced abdominal cramps. When you exercise your body
releases feel good hormones "Endorphins", which keeps your brain calm
and makes you feel better. However, avoid doing intensive exercise and skip the
abs day. Light Yoga stretches, cardio, swimming, light weight training is
recommended.
3.
More sweating means more weight loss: When you sweat,
your body releases water and sodium, due to which you feel that you have lost
weight. This illusionary weight loss is only temporary and comes back when you
rehydrate yourself. Sweating is a mechanism of body for cool down; don't count
more sweating as more weight loss.
4.
To get a flat stomach, do a lot of crunches: If you
want to lose that stubborn belly fat, you have to hit your abdominal muscles
from different angles with intensity. Crunches alone would not help you. To
reduce the circumference of your belly, you should train your lower extremities
as well. Dead lifts and squats are effective exercises to reduce the belly fat.
Along with that you should add a lot of other variations such as twisting
movements and leg raises.
