If you were convinced that the sweating will melt fat, you’re wrong! Even the most faithful practitioners still do not know the truth about fitness. Myths that we bring you show frequent errors in the perception of the gym.

Myth No. 1: If it does not hurt, it is not enough. Most common opinion is: if all muscles in the body does not ache after exercise, then you’re not doing enough or do not do the exercises correctly. It is simply not true. When you just go to practice, it is normal that certain muscles will be ache because until now, you did not use these muscles. But the pain should disappear after two to three sessions. The pain that you should definitely avoid it is in the joints, bones, ligaments and tendons. It refers to the injury, which means that you should stop exercising briefly.

Myth No. 2: Sweat melts the fat. If this were true, the sauna would work 0-24h. Sweat flushes toxins from the body and lowers the temperature of the body which is under increasing stress – exercise. With Sweating you will not lose weight, but water from the body.

Myth No. 3: Weightlifting builds body. The amount and size of muscle depends on our genetic predisposition, not weightlifting. Women who have problems with excess fat on the arms, it is recommended that they do a number of lifting dumbbells with less weight. Thus, the melting of fat cells. Their masculine partners are advised to lower the number of lifting weights with a greater weight.

Myth No. 4: Cardio training is the best. Limiting the types of training on just the cardio workout or strength training reduces the overall benefit of different styles of exercise for the whole body. Common recommendations of experts require three to four days of cardio training and only two to three days of weight training. Before you begin to train, consult with a coach who will recommend the best exercise for your body.

Myth No. 5: Water causes the cramps. Quite the contrary. Lack of water in the body, ie, dehydration causes cramping. If you practice hard, sweating you lose a large amount of water that must be compensated. Cramping and sore throat can be obtained only if the water is too cold.
