The Real Truth About Health And Fitness

By Dave Wild


Of course there are truths about health and fitness, but not all lies are actually untrue. Exercise and each personas body have different reactions. It is not always true for all people. On a case by case basis, everyone has to deal with questionable truths and information. You never know what may be uncovered by doing some research, so ideally you should take the time to research and learn. There is information in this article regarding research and health and fitness and what may or may not be true.

Treadmill workouts and your knees is one fitness myth that has been going around for a long time Your knees are a matter of contention; some believe that treadmills are safer than running on pavement where the knees are concerned. No way, running in general is harsh on the knees no matter what the surface. Your knees suffer the full force of your weight when you are jogging or running. Your knees will still experience that impact regardless of surface you are running on.

While a treadmill may have some give to it, your knees still absorb the eventual impact. Your knees will thank you for making the investment into a quality running shoe. You will find many attitudes regarding sweating by doing workouts specially when using the recumbent exercise bikes. Most people believe that sweat is indicative of hard work and a good workout. The converse seems to hold, as well. A good workout is built on sweat; the absence of sweat means the workout isn't achieving its intended purpose, or so some might think. When you sweat, it is just your body cooling itself off. There is, in fact, no correlation between sweat and physical exertion.

It's a fact that you can burn calories without breaking a sweat. Walking can accomplish this for you. There are mounds of research supporting the fact that a healthy fitness program of exercise and diet will significantly reduce, slow, or prevent serious disease conditions.

It's no secret that exercise has great effects on cardiovascular health. High blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol are only a few of the other conditions that can be positively impacted by exercise. Beyond medical diseases, you can slow the aging process in some respects by following a good exercise routine along with a healthy lifestyle. These myths occur in every aspect of fitness. You can find them as general statements, or specifically related to certain types of physical exercise. No matter what, though, do some quality reading and research and give serious thought to what you are doing.
