1. Weight training makes you masculine and bulky.
Because of the fact that women naturally cannot produce as much testosterone as males do, it is impossible for a woman to gain huge amounts of muscle mass by performing some exercises with weights. As a rule, women are afraid to become as masculine as professional female bodybuilders. Unfortunately, most of these women use anabolic steroids along with other drugs in order to achieve that high degree of muscularity. Women who perform weight training without the use of steroids get the firm and fit cellulite-free looking body.
2. Weight training makes you stiff and muscle-bound.
In fact, if you perform all exercises through their full range of movement, your flexibility will increase. Such exercises like flies, dumbbell presses, stiff-legged deadlifts, and chin-ups stretch the muscle in the bottom range of the motion. Therefore, these exercises will increase your stretching capabilities.
3. Exercise increases your chest size.
In fact, women’s breasts are composed mostly of fatty tissue. Consequently, it is impossible to increase the size of your breast through weight training. Properly speaking, if you go below 12% body fat, your breast size will decrease. Weight training increases the size of the back, so this misunderstanding probably comes from confusing an increase in back size with an increase in cup size. There the only way to increase your breast size; it is by gaining fat or getting breast implants.
 4. If you stop weight training your muscles change into fat.
If you don’t know: fat and muscle are two totally different types of tissue. When decide to go off their weight training programs they start losing muscle mass due to inactivity and they also usually give up their diet as well. And so bad eating habits combined with the fact that their metabolism is lower due to passivity, and lower degrees of muscle mass, make you feel that the muscle mass is being changed into fat. In reality muscle is being lost and fat is being collected.
5. Weight training turns fat into muscle.
It isn’t so. Human body can transform by gaining muscle through weight training and losing fat through aerobics and diet together. Don’t forget that muscle and fat are very different types of tissue.
6. As you exercise you can eat anything that you want.
Our personal metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise. If we eat more calories than we burn on a steadfast basis, our bodies will collect these additional calories as fat regardless of the amount of exercise that we do. This misconception have been created by people with such high metabolic rates that no matter how much they eat or what they eat, they rarely meet or exceed the amount of calories that they burn in one day unless they put their mind to doing so. Therefore, their weight either remains stable or goes down.
