Myths And Facts

Myth: Strength training will make my muscles large and bulky.
Fact: The ability to increase total muscle mass is highly dependent on circulating levels of testosterone. Men have 20-30 times the testosterone levels of women and, as a result, tend to build more lean muscle mass than women. Keep in mind, however, the genetics and individual differences play a role in the rate and degree to which muscle mass increases. Weight training helps women create lean, beautiful, toned, and shapely bodies.

Myth: I’m too old to begin a strength training program.
Fact: Research has shown that people of all ages can benefit from strength training. In fact, strength improvements of up to 174% have been reported in individuals who were 90 years old.

Myth: I won’t burn as many calories in a weight training class as I would in a traditional cardiovascular class.
Fact: Although resistance training does not result in significant caloric expenditure, it does significantly increase lean body mass by increasing lean muscle tissue and resting metabolic rate. For every pound of muscle you gain, your body automatically burns an additional 5-6 calories every day. (eg: 10 lbs of muscle equates to an additional 50-60 calories per day!)
