Fact And Fiction About Health And Fitness

By James Steele


If learning about health and fitness is new to you, it may seem a daunting task to get through all of it. Many beginners become overwhelmed not only with the volume of information but also by trying to know what's truth and what's a lie. One thing you will find is people who write books and teach about fitness come from their own experience and what they learned. There are many approaches to working out and much depends on what you will be doing. That is why sometimes you can find conflicting information, and it is not necessarily the case that one is not true. Just be careful to think about everything.

If the person giving you the tip is one of authority you are more likely to take that tip as gospel. The lies you might hear can cause you physical pain if you don't have all of the details or the tip you get is wrong altogether. We will talk about some of the worst fitness and health facts and rumors.

Have you ever heard that swimming is a great way to lose weight? We are here to burst that bubble, it's not the truth. Although there are many benefits to swimming, losing pounds doesn't even make the list. The simple reason for that has to do with the buoyancy of water. When you swim, the water supports your weight, and that means you will not be working as hard as you would be if you were jogging or running long distance.

The myth we hear most is "I don't have time to exercise. All a person needs is ten to twenty minutes on three days during the week. Then, a thirty minute workout can be fit in on the weekend, perhaps. That minimal amount is vastly better than nothing at all. Also, think about combining a quick exercise session while you are at work, or take the children if they are old enough. You can go for a brisk walk during your lunch hour or break. You can take ten minutes and jump a rope, and you can do that in your apartment or house. It's not impossible to find that 10 minutes if you try hard enough.

People sometimes complain that their bodies cannot get used to exercising at some particular time of day or that they are too tired at the end of the day. If you know what your natural circadian cycle is you would be able to reset it. For your workouts to feel natural you have to allow your body some time to adjust. The point is that once you break through your resistance and exercise after work, your body will have more energy to actually do it. If you're totally new to working out, it is especially important to sort out the truth about health and fitness from the falsehoods. This is important because you are still forming your fitness habits. Forming bad habits now mean a difficult re-education later when you try to form the right habits. Whether you continue your fitness program and your future success depend on forming good habits.
