Misconceptions about exercise

According to fitness expert Gillian Reeves in the UK, to keep the body slim and firm, we don't have to exercise to sweat. Here are the misconceptions about exercise that we've been thinking about for a long time.

1. Abdominal muscle training is the best way to help your stomach stay flat

First of all, only doing abdominal exercises (lying down, straightening 2 legs and getting up) will not help you get a flat round 2. Instead, you should coordinate with a comprehensive weight loss regime such as a balanced diet of nutrients and many other exercises. The action of lying down and bouncing up only to the central abdominal muscles on the surface and exercising too much can make the stomach bulge and lead to a big belly.

If you perform dynamic exercises like walking and rotating your upper body, you will be able to move all your abdominal muscles and other large muscle groups, thereby helping to consume more calories and excess fat in your body. This combination of exercises will help you own the desired waist.

2. Reading books helps relax during practice

Reading can help you relax but will damage your exercise position, increasing your vulnerability. And yet, having practice while reading and reading can make you not pay attention to doing well. Instead of reading books, listen to music or watch TV.

3. Weightlifters are only for bodybuilders

Weightlifting centers may not be attractive enough for women but weightlifting helps strengthen the firmness and toughness of the muscles, thereby strengthening the bones and joints. Women should use weights that can be easily lifted 15-20 times before feeling tired hands. This exercise will help increase muscle strength without making you become a 'muscle meat'.

4. Regular jogging is enough

Running 3 times a week helps improve the cardiovascular system. However, this does not mean you can easily perform other actions when needed. Experts recommend exercising more forceful exercises about 2-3 times a week.

5. The longer and heavier the episode, the more weight loss

If you exercise for a long time, your body will overproduce stress hormones like adrenalin and cortisol, damaging tissues. Therefore, if you have just undergone heavy activity, you should set aside at least one day to rest and eat well to recover quickly. High-intensity exercise is good for cardiovascular health but doesn't help lose weight effectively.

6. Stretching after exercise is not necessary

The stretching action at the end of the session helps the muscles return to their original length, avoiding muscle shrinkage over time.
