Common Female Training Myths-Exposed!
What do most women hope for when starting a new fitness program?
The ultimate goal for the majority of female clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with was to lose weight and inches!
10 lbs. 15 lbs. Even 30 lbs or more.
The underlying motivation is usually to fit into their favorite pair of jeans, which now hides in the back of their closet. Or they need to make that grand entrance at a wedding or fancy gala.
Who doesn’t want to look stunning as they walk down the aisle, with all those eyes on them?
Perhaps it’s reunion season. Ten or twenty years can sure take its toll!
Many times an upcoming tropical vacation invokes instant panic and a deep sense of shame and disgust at the thought of wearing a bikini or another similarly revealing outfit on the beach.
A sudden realization of past fitness and nutritional transgressions surges to the forefront: “is it too late to look good?”
Sound familiar?
Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many women on a crash course toward exercise failure before they even begin their new program.
How is that possible you ask?
These women are the same ones who have read articles in every major women’s fitness magazine and have large networks of friends who are in the same boat.
They’ve hired personal trainers and joined every possible type of gym out there. They’ve circuit trained and ab-crunched until they were red in the face- and the pocketbook!
Some even compromised their health with starvation for that elusive Holy Grail: weight loss.
All these women have one thing in common. After all that wasted time, money and effort, they still haven’t achieved what they were looking for.
Ask yourself: “Am I one of them?”
Follow along in this series of posts as I outline some of the biggest myths that affect women in their search for their ultimate body.
