Plus, we want to believe in fast fitness fixes. People give full credence to one ‘magical’ fix.“In reality, it’s a combination of things – better sleep, eating less, working out more, drinking plenty of water – that yields true results.”
Chances are you’ve fallen for one or more of the following #10 fitness myths. Who hasn’t?
Fitness Myth #1: No pain, no gain. If you haven’t worked out in a while – or you’re trying a new kind of workout plan – you’ll probably be sore the next day. Believe it or not, that’s a good thing.These aches are called “delayed onset muscle soreness".It means that the workout created “good” micro-tears in the muscles, which heal on their own and make you stronger. But how can you tell the difference between soreness and muscle damage?
If soreness lasts more than 48 hours, you’ve overdone it, This level of muscle damage can take six weeks to heal. It's important to know and listen to your body and know the difference between a good, hard, workout muscle soreness and a bad muscle soreness that could lead to or cause more lasting damage if you're to continue training without recovery time.
