Clarifying Two Myths A widespread myth is that women should not engage in resistance training, but this is false! Many women tell me they are very concerned about developing bulky muscles like men. This worry is actually unfounded. First, women do not have the hormones that can develop such muscles. Second, my Cruise Fitness program will help you build long, toned, smooth, and sexy muscles—muscle tissue that is neither bulky nor wild, but rather slender, firm, and delicate. Not only do they look very athletic, but they also burn a significant amount of fat.
Here’s another myth I often hear. Many people ask me, "George, why does my abdomen have so much fat, and yet I’m still working out my arms and thighs?" They also tell me they’ve heard that the best way to burn abdominal fat is to only exercise the abdomen and not move other parts of the body. For example, they do 30 minutes of ab workouts daily and then stop exercising altogether. Well, let me tell you clearly now that such rumors are a huge lie, and everyone has been deceived by them. This method of fat loss simply doesn’t work. Remember my introduction to muscle tissue? You need to build new lean muscle throughout your body to achieve the best fat loss results. If you focus only on exercising your abdominal muscles, you won’t fully activate your body’s metabolism to burn abdominal fat. Only when all your muscles are significantly strengthened can your metabolism effectively burn the fat covering your beautiful abdomen, and you must burn this fat before you can reveal your toned abdominal muscles. A study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that people who exercise comprehensively (such as the workouts in Chapter 5) burn much more abdominal fat than those who only exercise their abdomen. Another supplementary study shows that after several months of resistance training, your metabolism can increase by 7%, meaning you can burn hundreds of extra calories daily! This is why my workout program includes three days of ab training, one day of upper-body training, and one day of lower-body training per week. Exercising your entire body helps build muscle tissue that burns fat!
In addition to boosting your metabolism, my full-body workout method can also help you achieve balanced strength and a more proportionate physique. Typically, when you focus on strengthening a specific area, the uneven strength you build can lead to injuries. Therefore, you must increase your overall strength to maintain a healthy and graceful state. P16-17
