Expelling The Myths About Exercise And Fitness

I get the sense that the general public is becoming more knowledgeable when it comes

to fitness and health however there are still a lot of misconceptions out there about fitness and health. The purpose of this article is to highlight many of the common mistaken beliefs circulating in the fitness fanatic world and explain why they are not true. My hope is that by reading this article you will be given some clarity about fitness and will have an easier time reaching your goals from having a better understanding. Aside from addressing these misconceptions and mistaken beliefs I will explain a new method for helping you get to your fitness goals by using an online exercise program. You would have a much easier time getting instruction through an online exercise program because it is extremely convenient. Perhaps an even greater benefit that using an online exercise program offers is that it is much more affordable than personal training at the gym with the typical sort of personal trainer. Before I discuss using an online exercise program I want to discuss the first misconception I intend to address which is the idea of spot reduction. Spot reduction is a method of trying to reduce fat in a curtain region your body which isn"t possible and I will explain why this is. The second misconception I want to expel is the idea that the sugar in fruit affects your body in the same way sugar in donuts and other sweets does. It"s surprising to me not only that so many people think these kinds of sugar effect the body in the same way but it also surprises that people such as doctors and fitness professional think this. I intend to make it so if you hear this false belief you know better than to believe it. The final false fitness belief I want to explain away is the idea that women can build a lot of muscle mass. Some people may be surprised to know that this is actually not possible.

People usually think they can achieve spot reduction if they perform a curtain exercise for a really high number of reps but exercising in this way will not cause you to burn fat around the muscle group you are working. I suspect people may the assumption that they are burning fat if they exercise in this way because they can actually feel a burning sensation when they do it. This burning feeling is the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle. The purpose of lactic acid is to provide energy at a rapid pace so the muscle can still perform a movement. Lactic acid is needed when stored energy has been depleted. Weight loss occurs relatively evenly throughout the body because what triggers weight loss is the release of what are called ketone bodies from the liver and into the blood stream. These ketone bodies are what cause the breakdown of fat and since they are released throughout the body they break down fat evenly.

The second misconception to address is the one that suggests all sugar reacts with your body the same way which is definitely not the case. Fructose is a healthy sugar found in fruit and doesn"t cause a sharp increase in your blood sugar levels like the sugar in sweets or junk food does. The sugar in sweets is called sucrose and does cause a sharp increase in blood sugar levels.

The final misconception to touch on is one that suggests women can build a lot of muscle mass which they cannot because they don"t produce enough male hormones also called androgen hormones. The women who do increase their muscle mass to a degree that rivals that of men do so with the help of anabolic steroids. If you"ve seen a large female body builder or heard of a female power lifter bench pressing over 300 pounds chances are they are on steroids.

I also wanted to briefly mention using an online exercise program because it just may be the best way to get instruction from a certified personal fitness trainer for a number of reasons. It is much easier to pay for an online exercise program than personal training not to mention an online exercise program is much more convenient to use.
