The Real Truth About Health And Fitness

By Wilson Resturbee


It's not always a bad idea to ignore those who "think" they know it all at the gym. While it is possible to get 'some' good tips for your workout, it's more likely that you'll pick up false information although not intentional. People are often unaware that what they are saying isn't truth it tends to happen in all aspects of life. It's important for this reason that you ensure you are getting accurate information from only well known credible sources. This article will offer up some good tips on how to accomplish this task.

It's a fact that we are more inclined to believe what we are hearing if it is appearing to come from a position of authority or someone who appears to know what they are talking about. These "rumors" can be harmful especially if the person does not do the exercise correctly. Here in this article we will explore a bit more in depth into the myths and facts of health and fitness.

Treadmill workouts and your knees is one fitness myth that has been going around for a long time. It's been said that treadmills are less harsh on your knees than running on pavement, concrete or asphalt. No way, running in general is harsh on the knees no matter what the surface. Running forces your knees to take the full impact of your weight. Your knees will still experience that impact regardless of surface you are running on.

Studies show that there is a connection between stress relief and exercise. How does one consider that exercising and working out are stressful? Your body produces a relaxation response, which you may not feel is you are running or sweating all over the place. Exercising can help your body and mind to be distracted from stress you may be feeling. Endorphins released help calm you and create a natural feeling of euphoria.

Engaging in a quality fitness routine will help improve your physical and mental performance, as well. Your physical performance will benefit from your increased strength and stamina. Plus the greater degree of clarity will obviously help you with mental performance. Also, it is true that people who have regular exercise naturally tend to carry those positive habits into other areas of their life such as diet and nutrition.

There is a ton of research to support the fact that a healthy fitness routine combined with a healthy diet can reduce or even prevent serious disease conditions. Of course you've heard about exercise and cardio health. It is a proven fact that other conditions can also be improved or prevented with diet and exercise. Your commitment to a healthy diet and exercise can also help you slow the effects of aging on your body. 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. No matter what, though, do some quality reading and research and give serious thought to what you are doing.
