Fact and Fiction about Health and Fitness

By James Steele


It is usually a good idea to ignore the idiots at the gym who think they know what they are talking about. There are some great tips to be had from talkers at the gym but you can also inadvertently gain false or even harmful information from those who don't really know what they are talking about. Just like any other situation in life where people don't know as much as they claim to. Use only sources that are credible. The following tips can help shed some light on truths and other information on health and fitness.

Another myth is that using an ab machine and doing crunches will help rid you of the fat in your midsection, it is amazing what people will say to get you to try something. Belly fat can be vaporized with some whiz bang ab dissolver thing. Belly fat is what is used to measure your percentage of body fat. If you miss seeing your ab muscles you need to lose enough fat so that your abs will become visible again.

The only real way to get results is with the "no pain, no gain" rule. Dangerously incorrect is what that statement really is. In addition, there is very real potential for inflicting serious bodily damage by living that particular motto. The pain of a good workout should not inhibit your other activities. It's important that you follow the "if it hurts don't do it rule" where exercise is concerned. If you are suffering from an injury, it's important to recognize this and stop immediately to avoid making the injury more severe.

You will also see improvement to your physical and mental performance when you get regular, quality exercise. Indeed, the benefits of greater strength and stamina will help your physical performance. People who exercise regularly enjoy a greater degree of clarity, which obviously helps with mental performance. People who get regular exercise tend to carry those good habits into their way of eating.

Whether or not what you are reading is true is really in the eye of the beholder, do your research. Doing the research can only benefit you. Before you go out half cocked and exert the energy and time necessary for a change in lifestyle you need to know that you are doing it right. When you have a properly calculated exercise routine based solely on your research you will reap the benefits.
