Myth or Truth: Ksenia Litvinova on fitness and nutrition
Trainer, fitness expert on 1+1 Ksenia Litvinova in a live broadcast c Woman told how long you can keep fit without training, why you can eat after 18:00, and when it is useful to exercise through “can’t”.
Mornings are the best time to workout
Everyone has their own best time to workout and it depends on many factors: age, work, schedule, temperament. For example, I can work out in the evening and I can work out in the morning. Therefore, there is no universal best time to exercise.
There are foods that burn fat
It’s a myth. The products do not burn fat. Of course, our body is affected by the amount of them we eat, the composition and the calories expended in a day.
You can lose fitness in two weeks without working out
It’s not true. Stamina can be lost quickly. But most likely a month or more will keep you in good physical shape. If you add sugary ice cream, fruit at night or sushi in the evening, the beautiful shape will be lost faster.
You don’t have to eat after 6:00 p.m.
It’s okay to eat after 6pm if you move a lot throughout the day and your hormones are doing well. The main thing to realize is that the last meal should be 4 hours before bedtime. When you go to bed at 10pm, then of course don’t eat after 6pm.
If a lot of weight is initially present, it is necessary to schedule meals in advance. Many people forget: if there are stomach problems, you don’t need to get on interval fasting or keto diets. It’s important to realize how healthy you are.
You can’t wash down your food
If you are eating steak, you can wash it down with water. But if you’re eating a salad or pureed soup, you don’t need to do that. All the more reason not to put down the food with tea or coffee.
You can’t eat after a workout
It all depends on the goal. When you need to lose weight, then you shouldn’t eat an hour or an hour and a half after a workout. But don’t forget that there are some people who can’t gain weight. Then these people should eat after their workout.
It’s okay to study hard
I’m all for listening to yourself. That said, I’m always in favor of discipline. I believe that if you have a goal, you have to exercise through “can’t”. You can’t get results if you ignore regular workouts, healthy eating and sleep. These are the three main indicators.
A beautiful figure is 80% proper nutrition and 20% sports
Absolutely. I would also add to this a factor like genetics. But there are examples that show that genetics can be combated.
For a slim waist, you need to work your oblique muscles
You don’t need to pump your abs or obliques all the time. The abs are one long muscle. She needs to be pumped twice a week. And a slim waistline is precisely dependent on nutrition.
Training with a trainer is more effective
Definitely more effective! There is only one exception – if you are your own coach. But for most, working out with a trainer is more effective and brings the desired results faster.
No pain, no gain
On the one hand, it’s true. If a person starts exercising and gradually increases the load, there will be muscle pain. But if a person feels crepitation all the time, it means that the workouts are not properly designed.
