How To Be A Hot Mom: 3 Myths Holding You Back From Lifting Weights & Losing Fat

How To Be A Hot Mom: 3 Myths Holding You Back From Lifting Weights & Losing Fat
Are you a Hot Mommy? You desire to be one but in spite of
all your efforts you haven't gotten there yet. It's a safe
bet that you've been through a lot of crazy fad diets and
have even bought your share of diet pills and exercise
gadgets. But have you seriously tried the rock solid, iron
clad proven method of lifting weights to burn off the fat
and get curves in all the right places?

You have probably heard the myths in this article or even
came to your own conclusion about them. Well, let's debunk
them here and now. As a bonus you'll also learn something
about weight lifting that you aren't taking full advantage
of to get slim and sexy.

Too many women have been sold on the idea that weight
lifting is for men and they should do cardio. They are
then told a few myths which reinforce that belief. Who
knows when, where or why these myths started but they have
held back millions of women from achieving the best
physical shape of their lives. The first offender and the
biggest: I don't want to get too big and muscular, like a
man.

Before we get in the "Big Like Man" theory, let's play a
game. The game is to find someone who woke up one day with
too much muscle because they were not paying attention. In
over 20 years of exercising I have not meet anyone who
accidentally got too much muscle, man or woman.

As final proof of the impossibility of becoming too
muscular go to the beach in any country and take a look at
the men. Sadly, there won't be enough fitness models for
every girl to take one home.

The next myth that needs to be put to rest is that women
should only use light weights that those using heavy
weights will somehow wake up in the Too Muscle-y Zone.
Weight lifting, like life, is more complicated than light
weight = small, heavy weight = big. So go ahead and lift
something big it will come in handy in your everyday life.
Seriously, you will have to lift something heavier than a 2
lbs/kg dumbbell some day. Who knows you may even find it
fun. No... really, some do. Honest.

The last myth we'll talk about is the aerobics burns more
fat and women should run like hamsters on a wheel to get in
shape. Well, that is partly true. Typical aerobics
training will burn fat more than lifting weights but only
while you are doing it. The fat burning benefit stops when
you stop moving. That new muscle you added from lifting
weights? It burns fat even if the only surfing you do
involves the channels on your TV.

OK, here is the part you've been waiting for: lifting
weights can give the right shape to the parts you want.
Oh, don't get all bashful. You know exactly what we're
talking about. Adding a little muscle will help lift the
parts you want higher. Yearn for more cleavage? It can
pick the girls up. Got a flat butt? You can fix it with
weights. Got too much butt? Can't lose your baby belly?
Guess what, they can be fixed with weights too. Remember
that wonderful benefit of adding muscle: more muscle more
fat burned. For once the system is that simple.

While it is fantastic that more women are getting into
weight training these myths are holding them back and
preventing even more from starting. Sadly they are missing
out on the benefits of one the best forms of exercise
available. Marilyn Monroe truly understood the benefits
and was an avid weight lifter.

Better health, being better prepared for everyday life and
getting your body into that slammin' sexy shape you've
always dreamed of. You have to admit those are some great
benefits. All these benefits are within your reach if you
are willing to shed the chains that are holding you to the
belief that weights are only for the boys.
