Fact And Fiction About Health And Fitness

By James Steele


No matter if you are old hand or new at health and fitness education the overall amount of information can seem a bit staggering. 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. You will see that most books are written from the writers own experience. There are of course a lot of different approaches to fitness, yours will depend heavily on what you plan to do. That is why sometimes you can find conflicting information, and it is not necessarily the case that one is not true. You'll need to pay particular attention to just about everything you read.

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.

Studies show that there is a connection between stress relief and exercise. Is it stressful for you to exercise or workout? When you are accomplishing your exercise routine your body is producing a relaxation response. The relaxation your body produces helps you body and mind to become distracted from any stress you may be feeling. Endorphins and Euphoria work together.

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.
