Health and Fitness, the Truth and Lies

Health and Fitness, the Truth and Lies


by Roosevelt Vick


Imagine your frustration if you discovered you'd been performing your exercises wrong for years. Think of the person injured while performing an exercise incorrectly because of bad information. These real considerations happen all the time. You need to be sure the information you're using comes from experts or other credible sources. Your health depends on it and bad information is rampant. Here is some solid information regarding health and fitness.

We have all 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. In fact the water buoyancy that supports you during this exercise takes away from the aerobic aspects of a weight loss exercise such as jogging or running long distances.

The only way to really benefit is to work your muscles until they are sore but not painful. That statement too is incorrect because of the potential for serious injury. There are many big differences between gaining aerobic benefit and working with serious pain. If you experience pain after a workout that doesn't go away or only appears to be getting worse, stop doing the activity. You will only cause yourself more complications by continuing an exercise that is causing you pain.

People sometimes complain that their bodies cannot get used to exercising at some particular time of day or that they are too tired at the end of the day. Your body does have a natural circadian cycle, which we have to call people on. A morning workout may not be for you, but your body will adjust to the change just allow it about 3 to 4 weeks, then you will feel totally natural. Secondly, once you break through your resistance and exercise after work, your body will have more energy to actually do it. It is your mind that is tired and resistant.

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.

Furthermore, by utilizing some sort of gym equipment like a Foam Roller within your fitness regimen, it can help boost your exercises easier as well as it can ensure you a healthier exercise in a rapid way. As long as you keep learning, you will naturally move into other areas. What matters most is that you exercise at least a few times every week to help relieve back pain.
