Facts and Fiction regarding Health and Fitness

By Darwin Shocks


Ignoring anyone who talks at the gym isn't always a bad idea. People at the gym are only trying to help even though their information might not always be accurate. Just because someone has been working out in the gym a long time does not necessarily make them an authority on the subject just like any other time you might get advice. It's important for this reason that you ensure you are getting accurate information from only well known credible sources. You'll get the best information possible with the tips that follow.

One of the most well known myths about fitness is regarding treadmill workouts and your knees. Running on a treadmill is indeed not safer or less harsh on your knees than any other surface you may run on. This is indeed not a true statement. When you choose running or jogging as your exercise of choice you are putting your knees at risk since your weight is forced on them. No matter what surface you are on your knees will still take a hit.

Regardless of the tiny bit of give a treadmill will give you your knees are still going t take the impact of your weight. Your knees will thank you for making the investment into a quality running shoe. There is a misleading perception bordering on mythical concerning over-exertion during workouts. Over extension is another mythical being that goes something like this, if you aren't feeling the burn you aren't doing enough. You can feel the effects of a workout sometimes a few days after the activity especially if it's been a while since you've done anything. What this describes is someone who's been inactive for a while and decides they need to hit the gym with gusto to get fit in a hurry, they often feel sore and give up shortly after. Don't rush into it, get a checkup and go slow for a better longer lasting experience.

Serious disease conditions can be slowed or prevented by implementing a healthy fitness program and a well balanced diet. You've no doubt heard for years about the effects of exercise on cardiovascular health. It is a proven fact that other conditions can also be improved or prevented with diet and exercise.

Other than medical conditions, there are a number of other conditions that can be positively impacted by a regular exercise routine and healthy eating habits such as the overall aging process. There are truths and falsehoods or myths in health and fitness in all areas. Physical exertion often has specific fallacies attached to it while other areas may have general statements too. Before you engage in a cycling bike workout or even any exercise, do the research first.
