| Belonging to a health club
is the only way to achieve fitness.
Fallacy, keeping the body in motion by performing physical
activities that you find enjoyable is the best way to implement
fitness in one’s life. For example, riding a bike, taking a
brisk walk, roller blading and dancing are fun ways to experience
exercise.
Exercise is only beneficial when it is strenuous.
Fallacy, extreme exercise is unnecessary to experience the
benefits of a fitness program. Excessive exercise runs the gambit
of overtraining. For example, a brisk walk of 3.5 miles per
hour on a treadmill will provide health advantages.
Allow the body to rest by alternating challenging workout days
with easier ones.
Each exercise session
is only effective if burning is felt in the muscles.
While moderate muscle soreness is to
be expected, the old wives’ tale, "No pain, no gain"
is untrue. Exercise should not cause aches, pains or burning
sensations. An adequate work-out does not necessitate making
muscles burn. When pain is experienced, exercise should be ceased.
Aerobic and cardiovascular
exercise are the only types of exercises that matter.
Fallacy, a well-balanced physical
regimen includes the following components: strength, cardiovascular/aerobic
and flexibility training.
Strength training for women
always leads to bulking up.
Since women do not have the testosterone
hormone that can builds bulky muscles in men, strength training
will enhance muscular tone and strength
The formula for six-pack abs
is by doing exercises targeted to flatten the stomach.
Although, abdominal exercises (sit-ups,
crunches), are vital for strengthening muscles and improving
posture, excess abdominal fat will not create abs of steel.
In the realm of exercise, losing weight in a specific spot of
the body is not feasible.
