Already by the name, you can understand which organ is directed to the physical load that a person receives during such physical exercises. Cardio means heart, so cardio training must somehow affect the heart. Any physical activity contributes to the strengthening of the heart muscle, if they are given in reasonable amounts. But on what basis were some of them singled out in a separate group?

Myth #1. Strength training will make you muscular and masculine.

No wonder this is the most popular myth among ladies. Regular strength training will not make you muscular. Why? The explanation is simple. Women cannot synthesize enough testosterone (one of the main anabolic hormones) naturally like men. In this regard, it is impossible for women to gain significant muscle mass simply by lifting heavy objects.

When you think of strength training, the image of a female bodybuilder probably comes to mind. Most of these women use anabolic steroids (synthetic testosterone) as well as other supplements to develop a similar physique. Plus, you’ll need to spend hours in the gym lifting weights to achieve these results, and let’s not forget that most female bodybuilders are genetically predisposed to bulking up!

Female bodybuilders don’t look like this by chance. It takes a huge amount of effort, backed up by synthetic testosterone and the right genetics. If you are just training without steroids, you have nothing to worry about. Moreover, this way you will get rid of cellulite and get a toned figure, like fitness models from magazines.
