In today's fitness world, it's easy to get overwhelmed by flashy trends, conflicting tips, and too-good-to-be-true promises. At Right Direction Personal Training, we believe in cutting through the noise to deliver real, results-driven coaching.
Let's break down five of the biggest fitness myths—and set the record straight once and for all.
Truth:
More isn't always better. In fact, overtraining can lead to fatigue, injury, and burnout. Most people thrive with 2–4 well-structured sessions per week, combined with proper recovery, nutrition, and sleep.
"Our goal is consistency, not punishment. Smart training beats nonstop grinding every time."— Mike Seta
Truth:
Sweating is simply your body's way of regulating temperature—not a reliable indicator of calorie burn. A focused strength session with minimal sweat can be far more effective for fat loss and muscle retention than a sweat-drenching cardio class.
Truth:
This myth particularly concerns women, but it's unfounded. Building significant muscle requires a lot of time, effort, and nutrition. Instead, lifting weights helps you burn fat, boost metabolism, and improve overall tone.
"Strength training is the most efficient way to reshape your body and protect it as you age."— Mike Seta
Truth:
Carbs are not the enemy. Your body needs them for energy, especially during training. The key is portion control, food quality, and balanced macronutrients—not extreme restriction.
Mike's nutrition coaching emphasizes sustainable eating that fits real life, not fads.
Truth:
Lasting change takes time. Your first few weeks often bring internal improvements—better sleep, digestion, energy, and mobility—before physical changes show up in the mirror.
Progress isn't always linear. That's why coaching, accountability, and patience are key.
