Other Myths

You have to workout every day to get in shape.
Optimum would be between 3-5 days a week depending on your workout schedule.

The longer the workout the better.
Optimum workout length is 1 hr. Anything longer may actually be more of a setback.

It’s just too bad that people don’t follow the good advice and always seem to follow the wrong info.

I guess this may be a case of different strokes for different folk. Long distance running is my thing I’ve lost 70 pounds so far hitting the pavement and that’s before any training for the marathon next year!

My favorite is #6. If you want to build a better body with less injuries use free weights! When I first started working out I used machines only as I thought they were safer. As the years went by I was educated on how free weights will build you a stronger body and so I slowly began my transformation into free weights. I now do almost strictly free weights. Free weights allow your body to work out a group of muscles along with stabilizer muscles at one time. This allows for faster workouts and better results. It also has reduced many of my nagging injuries as most of my injuries came from unbalanced muscle growth. Also I have better abs today from doing squats and dead lifts 2 times a week than I ever had when I was doing the crunch machine ever day!

You hit it right on the head when you said that “there is no best program for building muscle”. A lot of guys think that there is some magical workout routine or nutrition program that will help anybody build muscle. It just doesn’t work that way. Based on my experiences, the muscle building process is a completely individual process based almost entirely around the experience level and preferences of the person. What works for one will not always work for others – that’s why variety in training and strategy is so important!

In Yoga, they say crunches are not good at all as in the long run our respiratory system gets deterioted. Crunches have an ill-effect on our respiratory system.
