On the road to health and fitness, more and more people are choosing to achieve this goal through fitness. However, in the fitness boom, there are also many misunderstandings and rumors, which may not only make us unable to achieve the desired fitness effect, and may even cause harm to the body. Today, we’re going to debunk these common fitness myths.
Myth 1: The more intense the exercise, the better the effect
Most people believe that as long as the exercise intensity is strong enough, you can quickly achieve fitness results. However, this is a myth. Exercise intensity is too large, not only easily lead to physical injury, but also may cause excessive fatigue and immunity decline. The correct approach should be according to their own physical condition and physical fitness level, choose their own exercise intensity, and gradually increase the amount of exercise, so that the body gradually adapt to.
Misconception 2: Local slimming method can quickly lose fat in specific parts
In order to pursue a perfect body, most people will try a variety of local slimming methods, such as abdominal fat reduction exercises, lean legs yoga and so on. However, fat consumption is systemic and it is not possible to lose fat in specific areas through local exercise. Topical slimming can only help build muscle strength in the area and make the area look tighter, but it does not directly lose fat. In order to achieve the purpose of fat reduction, it is also necessary to consume fat through systemic aerobic exercise.
Mistake three: Do not eat staple food can lose weight quickly
In the process of losing weight, many people will choose not to eat staple foods to control calorie intake. However, this is not scientific. Staple food is the main source of energy required by the human body, not eating staple food will lead to insufficient energy intake, affecting the body’s normal metabolism. Avoiding staple foods for a long time can also cause problems such as malnutrition and weakened immunity. The correct approach should be a reasonable diet, a moderate intake of staple foods, and control the total calorie intake, and increase the intake of protein, vegetables and fruits.
Myth # 4: You don’t need to stretch after working out
Many people neglect the importance of stretching after working out. However, stretching plays an important role in relieving muscle tension and preventing muscle stiffness and pain. Not stretching after a workout can lead to an increased risk of muscle fatigue and injury. Therefore, after the exercise must be fully stretched and relaxed.
Fitness is a sport that requires a scientific approach and persistence. In the process of fitness, we should avoid these common mistakes, choose the right way and intensity of exercise, and pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of diet and rest. Only in this way can we truly achieve the purpose of fitness and have a healthy and beautiful body.
