Separating Exercise Myths From Exercise Facts

Exercise myths have been around ever since people first learn how to exercise. We need to both myths and facts to distinguish them from one another. Here are some misconceptions about them:

Myth: Eat as much as you like as you can lose all the calories from exercise.

Fact: Despite the fact that exercise has a role on the secret formula for losing weight; you still need to control your eating habit. Both exercise and proper diet has something to say when it comes to weight loss.

Myth: All type of exercise will increase your appetite.

Fact: Researcher after research has proven that some forms of exercises are beneficial for increasing the appetite. Moderate workouts that last for less than an hour help reduces your appetite. An intense workout increases one’s appetite.

Myth: You need to exercise daily to improve your fitness levels.

Fact: That is not true as the body need to rest in between exercise so it can fully heal the damage muscle cells. The muscle must be given some time to heal itself before undergoing the same exercise again.

Most of the exercise myths revolve around weight loss and strengthening your body.
