]]>Myth: Spot Reduction Can Target Fat Loss in Specific Areas
The idea that you can lose fat in a specific area by targeting exercises for that area is a myth. Fat loss occurs throughout the body as a whole, and targeted exercises can strengthen and tone specific muscles but won’t burn fat solely in that area. A comprehensive exercise routine and a balanced diet are key for overall fat loss.
Myth: Cardio is the Best Way to Lose Weight
While cardio exercises are effective for burning calories, they are not the only way to lose weight. Strength training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are equally important. Building lean muscle mass increases your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories even at rest. Combining cardio, strength training, and a healthy diet is the most effective approach.
Myth: You Need to Work Out Every Day to See Results
Rest and recovery are just as important as exercise. Your body needs time to repair and rebuild muscle tissues after intense workouts. Overtraining can lead to fatigue, injury, and hinder your progress. Aim for a balanced workout routine that includes rest days to allow your body to recover and adapt.
Myth: You Can’t Build Muscle Without Protein Supplements
While protein is essential for muscle growth and repair, you don’t necessarily need supplements to meet your protein needs. A well-balanced diet that includes lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and plant-based protein sources can provide enough protein for muscle development. Supplements can be convenient, but they should not replace whole food sources.
Myth: No Pain, no Gain
While pushing yourself during workouts can be challenging, it’s important to listen to your body and avoid excessive pain. Pain can be a sign of injury, and pushing through it can worsen the situation. It’s normal to feel muscle soreness after workouts, but sharp or prolonged pain should not be ignored. Know your limits, practice proper form, and prioritize injury prevention.

]]>You Can Catch Up on Sleep
You can’t barter with sleep. If you have thin hours of sleep during the week you can’t catch up by sleeping in at the weekends. The damage will already be done. With sleep, consistency is key.
Obecna w moim życiu od lat, pomocna w tak wielu sytuacjach, doceniana w bólu godzin spędzonych w siadzie, odsłaniająca prawdziwość tego co mam w środku. Medytacja, która uratowała mi życie podczas ostatnich ciężkich tygodni 
dzięki niej nie zwariowałam, dzięki niej potrafiłam odnaleźć spokój i opanowanie w tak kryzysowych momentach, kiedy dwoje bliskich mi ludzi walczyło o życie i każda minuta była na wagę złota. Dzięki niej znajdowałam chwile ukojenia w tym niekończącym się oczekiwaniu. Nie mam słów by wyrazić choćby ułamek tego co się wydarzyło. Wiem za to, że połączenie się ze sobą na tych najgłębszych poziomach pomaga przetrwać nawet największy horror. Będę to przekazywać, będę się tym dzielić 
Niedługo zaproszę Was na kolejne medytacje tu na IG, z jeszcze większa ilością światła i ukojenia 
teraz zbieram na to wszystko siły, namaste

Many people think that the older they get the less important it is that they get a full 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Actually, the body continues to require the same amounts of sleep throughout your life.
Afternoon Naps Affect Your Night’s Sleep
A short 15-20 minute nap around midday will not affect your night’s sleep and will make you more alert and productive in the afternoon.
Alcohol Can Help Sleep
While a few glasses of wine before bed can help you to fall asleep quicker it will reduce the quality of your sleep.
Evening Exercise Disrupts Sleep
Exercising in the evening won’t disrupt your night’s sleep, it might actually improve it.
