👉 Myth number 2) To lose weight, I need to do lots of cardio.

👉 Myth number 5) Muscle turns to fat when you stop training - I don't want that to happen to me!
👉 Myth number 6) Strength training makes muscles short and bulky - I want long slender muscles like a dancer so I do yoga instead.
👉 Myth number 7) Strength training just takes too long and I have to go too often - I don't have time!
👉 Myth 8) I can't strength train because I have back/knees/shoulder pain.
