Truths and Lies about Health and Fitness

By Jude John Cordell


It is usually a good idea to ignore the idiots at the gym who think they know what they are talking about. While you can get some great workout tips, you can also pick-up information that may be inaccurate or false. 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. Make sure you are getting the best information by seeking counsel from authoritative figures in the industry. These tips can help you get the best information.

Have you ever heard that swimming is a great way to lose weight? This is a fallacy. Although there are many benefits to swimming, losing pounds doesn't even make the list. The reason for this is because as you are swimming the water is doing the work to support your body weight (called buoyancy) which basically means you aren't getting the workout you think you are or that you might if you were running or jogging long distances.

There is a curious attitude when it comes to sweating. A lot of people think that sweating means they are working out well. The converse seems to hold, as well. The opposite is also true for most. Just as an air conditioner in your home, sweat is what cools your body down. Physical exertion and sweat are not interrelated.

You can in fact burn a lot of calories and never break a sweat. Walking can accomplish this for you.

Serious disease conditions can be slowed or prevented by implementing a healthy fitness program like taking a home exercise bike routine and a well balanced diet. You've no doubt heard for years about the effects of exercise on cardiovascular health. You can also affect a positive influence on other conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and joint and bone diseases. Your commitment to a healthy diet and exercise can also help you slow the effects of aging on your body.

No doubt you will hear all kinds of lies and a few truths about fitness in the world. So be careful what you believe. Always try to find a way to confirm the information you so read on the net - including in this article! Careful here, you'll want to avoid information that can cause you harm if it turns out to be incorrect. Take time and be responsible for researching what you hear.
