1) Is it okay for girls to lift weights?

Do not buy into the old stereotypes of guys lifting dumbbells and girls running on treadmills. The old myth that ladies will develop big, bulky muscles if the lift weights is pure nonsense. The problem is most people in gyms still believe this to be true. If you are trying to shed unwanted pounds and get leaner, you should include resistance training within your regular workout routine.

2) How important are supplements?

Supplements are a good thing. The enable you to enhance a good diet even further. However, they can become a bad thing when too much weight is placed upon their importance within your routine. Your main results are going to come from your diet and your training, not which whey protein brand your choose. Keep supplements down to a minimum, such as a whey protein and creatine monohydrate.

3) Should you workout every day to improve results further?

The answer to this question depends on your current fitness level. If you are still new to the gym then you can get great results with a two-to-three day split, working the full body in each session. However, when you get more experienced and need to do more work on a muscle group to stimulate new growth it would be wise to use a split routine. This means working one or two muscle groups per session over the course of the week. Even with this type of split, you could get fantastic results with 3-4 workouts each week. There is no need to go to the gym every day.

4) Is diet crucial to success or not?

Your diet is the most important factor in your overall success. Without paying attention to what you eat, you will not be able to see many of the hard earned results you are obtaining from the gym. Many people make the mistake of ignoring their diet completely, but the truth is you can't succeed without it.

5) What number of calories should you consume to reach your goals?

Most of us don't know whether we are eating the right amount of calories during the course of an average day. In fact, there are many people out there consuming nowhere near enough. Take your target body weight (in pounds) and multiply by 15.

At one stage or another, everybody who uses the gym hears one of the myths discussed today. Now you know the facts, leaning how to build muscle becomes an altogether more straightforward affair.
