Truths and Lies About Health and Fitness

By Jonas Varig


Discovering that you've been doing a particular exercise wrong for years would be frustrating. Think of the one who gets injured exercising because they were given incorrect information. Those and other considerations are very real and happen all the time. You need to be sure the information you're using comes from experts or other credible sources. Your health and soundness of body depends on it because the world is rampant with bad information in so many areas. Health and fitness are no exception, and that is why we're offering the following solid information for you.

Would you be surprised to learn that myths exist about treadmill workouts and your knees. Running on a treadmill is indeed not safer or less harsh on your knees than any other surface you may run on. We need to bust this myth; it's not fact. Running forces your knees to take the full impact of your weight. No matter what surface you are on your knees will still take a hit.

Regardless of the tiny bit of give a treadmill will give you your knees are still going t take the impact of your weight. Your shoes can help absorb some of this impact.

Basically, for best benefit go by the old saying no pain no gain. 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. There is of course a difference between having a good workout and being in serious pain. It's important that you follow the "if it hurts don't do it rule" where exercise is concerned. If you have injured yourself, you want to stop exercising to avoid increasing the level of your injury.

The myth we hear most is "I don't have time to exercise. Really, you only need to take about 15 minutes a couple times a week. Top off your short schedule during the week with a longer 30 minute workout on the weekends for a great minimalistic approach to fitness that is better than no exercise at all. Take your kids for a walk, use your work breaks to snag a little more time. Try taking a power walk on your lunch hour or jumping a rope in the comfort of your living room while dinners cooking. It's not impossible to find that 10 minutes if you try hard enough.

The reality is you don't have to go far to hear some health and fitness advice that is either truth or something else. There is information out there to give support to something you have heard, if you cannot find any support for it then you should not believe it.
