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. |
