Health And Fitness - Urban Legends Exposed For Truth

By James Steele


If learning about health and fitness is new to you, it may seem a daunting task to get through all of it. Many beginners become overwhelmed not only with the volume of information but also by trying to know what's truth and what's a lie. One thing you will find is people who write books and teach about fitness come from their own experience and what they learned. There are many approaches to working out and much depends on what you will be doing. That is why sometimes you can find conflicting information, and it is not necessarily the case that one is not true. Just be careful to think about everything.

If the person giving you the tip is one of authority you are more likely to take that tip as gospel. The lies you might hear can cause you physical pain if you don't have all of the details or the tip you get is wrong altogether. We will talk about some of the worst fitness and health facts and rumors.

Have you ever heard that swimming is a great way to lose weight? We are here to burst that bubble, it's not the truth. Although there are many benefits to swimming, losing pounds doesn't even make the list. The simple reason for that has to do with the buoyancy of water. When you swim, the water supports your weight, and that means you will not be working as hard as you would be if you were jogging or running long distance.

It is possible to burn a huge amount of calories without ever breaking a sweat. Walking can accomplish this for you.

You will hear many lies and some truths in the world where fitness is concerned. It's important for you to be careful which ones you choose to believe. Make sure you are confirming what you are hearing on the internet with a reputable source such as this article. Then pay special attention to that kind of information that has the potential for causing harm if it does turn out to be incorrect. Take time and be responsible for researching what you hear.
