The first myth about exercise is still believed to be that the more you sweat, the more calories you waste.

Actually, there is no relationship between the amount of sweat and weight loss that is getting faster. Sweating a lot can indeed allow a person to lose a few grams of weight, especially if at that time he was not drinking enough. However, this condition will only happen temporarily, not permanently.

2. Body Pain means the Exercise Going Successful

Pain after exercise can happen due to the rupture of muscles that are rarely moved and stiff. The muscles will adapt to repair the damage and become bigger and stronger. So, when someone exercises again, the pain may decrease or even disappear.

If pain after exercise persists for a long time or gets worse, this is not a sign of muscle building. Therefore, if you experience it, you should immediately stop the exercise or replace it with another type of exercise. Pain after exercise that occurs for a long time may be due to the wrong exercise technique.

Well, the last myth is that exercise should be done every day. This is wrong. When you exercise, your body breaks down muscle fibers, so you can rebuild stronger muscles.

However, to do this, the body needs to be given time to recover from exercising. Set aside one to two days per week for rest and recovery. Do not overdo it because it can actually cause fatigue and injury. Even so, light exercise such as stretching or walking is still acceptable.
