Health and Fitness - Urban Legends exposed for Truth

By James Richards


If learning about health and fitness is new to you, it may seem a daunting task to get through all of it. Beginners often get overwhelmed trying to decipher lies from the truth. 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 of course a lot of different approaches to fitness, yours will depend heavily on what you plan to do. No doubt you will find some information that seems contradictory to other information you've found even though they may both be somewhat truthful. You'll need to pay particular attention to just about everything you read.


Online, you can find all kinds of back pain products and information, including yoga. The marketing for yoga states that practicing these poses will help with back pain. This is only true for some cases, making this statement misleading and dangerous. If the cause of your back pain is muscle related than yoga can be helpful. You can stretch and strengthen the muscles in your back by doing yoga. As you stretch and strengthen your back, the pain will most likely get better. Back pain due to bone issues, like a problem with a spinal disc, won't be relieved by yoga. In this kind of situation, you risk doing more damage by practicing yoga. We have all heard that exercise will help you have more energy. That is true and offers a great benefit for those who follow the exercise bike reviews.

People report feeling energized all day when they exercise in the morning. The increased energy is partially caused by increased blood circulation. Improved circulation means your cells are receiving more oxygen. Regular exercise can also help improve your strength and stamina. You will naturally feel more energized with improve stamina.

Another myth that is common is the excuse No Time for exercise. All a person needs is ten to twenty minutes on three days during the week. This short exercise schedule is better than nothing especially if you can top it off with a 30 minute aerobic workout on your days off. 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. We can all find 10 minutes a couple times a week. If you're totally new to working out, it is especially important to sort out the truth about health and fitness from the falsehoods. Because you are still forming your fitness habits, this is extremely important. You will have to go through a painful re-education later if you form the wrong habits now. You need good habits to succeed and to stick with your fitness routine.
