Three Fitness Myths That Are Keeping You Overweight

Three Common Fitness Myths Debunked: A Fitness Expert Sets the Record Straight. Harman Cheema (@_harmancheema) recently shared a video addressing common fitness misconceptions among young adults. He emphasizes that spot reduction (like only doing crunches for abs) is ineffective. "Your abs are a muscle; you need to train them," Cheema explains. He also challenges the idea that hours of cardio are essential for fat loss. "Building muscle speeds up your metabolism, burning more fat in the long run," he states. Finally, Cheema points out that weight isn't always the best indicator of progress, especially for those carrying excess body fat but appearing slim. His advice? Combine weightlifting with low-intensity cardio for optimal results.
