Having a wide range of access to fitness and exercise information is beneficial for everyone. Though, easy to access, information shared may not always be correct. Having so, I have listed a few facts common followers might be led to believe true.
What they tell you: Exercising before bedtime will keep you awake.
What they tell you: When you stop working out your muscles will turn to fat.
How it really is: Muscles can't turn to fat, in fact if you stop exercising your muscles, they will simply decrease in size and will therefore result in a greater proportion of your body weight to fat ratio.
What they tell you: You burn more calories exercising in the cold.
How it really is: Regardless of the weather, your body burns the same amount of calories.
What they tell you: For every pound of muscle you build up in turn burns an extra 50-100 calories.
How it really is: Your body only burns 10 to 15 calories per pound of muscle.
What they tell you: Water exercise doesn't burn a lot of calories.
How it really is: High paced exercises can burn at least 17 calories per minute, which is the same as running a five-minute mile pace.
What they tell you: Stretching has been proven to prevent injuries from working out.
How it really is: Even though stretching is a necessary influence on your mobility, no scientific evidence has proven that stretching will prevent injuries.
How it really is: Exercising while pregnant is not only healthy when approved by your doctor but also relieves aches, shortens labour and speeds up postpartum recovery.
What they tell you: Calories you eat after 7 p.m. turns straight to fat.
How it really is: No matter what time of the day it is, the more calories you consume than you burn will always turn to fat. If you consume fewer calories than you burn, regardless of the time, you will not gain weight, you will actually lose weight.
What they tell you: If you don't feel sore after your exercise you didn't work hard enough.
How it really is: Consistent soreness isn't a good sign, if you are consistently sore; you are disabling your body from recovering from your previous workout. The only time to feel sore is when you have begun a new or more strenuous workout.
What they tell you: Salads will help you lose weight.
How it really is: Lettuce is very healthy but once it includes toppings and dressing it becomes very unhealthy. If you want your salad to be healthy try including a range of vegetables, greens and filling protein rich items such as almonds. You can also try using a lighter vinaigrette or a small portion of low fat dressing.
