The only way to burn excess fats from our body is to exercise. Of course, everybody knows this! But, why do most people fail to become thinner? Well, this has something to do with the myths that I am going to talk about to make it clear what work and what don’t.

Myth 1: High intensity exercise = high fat burning

Because of the fast paced world we now live in, it is harder to be more active since we are too dependent on the appliances that make daily living much easier. Take for instance the washing machine, we use to have a good workout form washing our clothes, but now that there is a washing machine, we just can’t have a god workout anymore. We have the washing machine to make washing easier than it used to be. I won’t be talking about the different types of appliances here since the topic is about myths.

Don’t worry since we can always go to the gym and exercise there, but a normal person can only exercise three times a week because we are much busier than before. In addition, working out in gyms isn’t that easy, the body needs to take a rest since gym workouts are high intensity workouts.
