Myths,
Misconceptions, and Misinformation |
From lactic acid to stretching, resting metabolism to burning fat, there are many myths and misconceptions that pervade the fitness community. This informative, research-based presentation will shed a bright light on the biggest exercise and fitness myths and misconceptions, including resting metabolic rate and strength training, lactic acid and fatigue, exercising on an empty stomach, the fat burning zone, and more! |
|
The
Resting Metabolic Rate Debate |
Many fitness professionals tell their clients that strength training adds muscle, increasing resting metabolic rate and helping them lose weight because muscles are “fat-burning machines.” While metabolic rate is acutely elevated after a workout, it’s not as certain that resting metabolic rate is increased. This presentation will review the research on resting metabolic rate to discover the truth about this complex issue. |

Top 3 Cardio Workouts |
Whether your clients are lawyers, businessmen, or soccer moms, they all want to make the best use of their workout time. Research has shown that the intensity of exercise, rather than its volume and frequency, is more important for improving, and especially maintaining, fitness. So, if your clients have time for a few cardio workouts per week, 20 minutes of steady-state cardio on the elliptical trainer or stationary bike at an intensity easy enough to read a magazine while exercising isn’t going to cut it. This presentation will discuss the top three cardio workouts for getting fit and burning calories. |
|
The
Fat Burning Zone |
The most popular myth about exercise may be that there is a specific range of heart rates in which you must exercise to burn fat. Does such a “fat burning zone” really exist? What happens if your clients venture out of that zone? Is that dangerous? This enlightening presentation will examine the mythical fat burning zone. |
