Nine common fitness misunderstandings about fitness

　　every day exercise The same parts of the body can cause damage most quickly. To build strength, you should train your muscles with weight to the point of fatigue, and then give these muscles a day to rest and recover. Excessive exercise can cause muscle strain and pain. Do you really know a lot about fitness?

　　If you have a wrong understanding of fitness and you exercise in the wrong way, it will be your own body that is harmed!

　　Myth 1: No gain without “pain”

　　Pain is a sign that something is wrong somewhere in the body. If you feel pain during exercise, you should reduce and slow down the exercise until you stop exercising. To develop muscles and enhance endurance, you should experience some discomfort, but it should never be pain.

　　Myth 2: Hot compresses can help injuries heal faster

　　The reason why sports injuries (such as ankle sprains) are painful is because of internal bleeding and swelling in the injured area. Hot compresses accelerate blood circulation and will only aggravate bleeding and swelling. The correct treatment is to apply cold compress (such as ice) within 24 hours of injury, and use heat therapy 24 hours later to reduce pain and swelling.

　　Myth 3: Running is the best way to get fit

　　No one fitness method is the best. For teenagers, it is best to choose the sports you like as much as possible. The pursuit of "the best" may mean that you want to achieve the "quickest" results. Seeking speed is also a misunderstanding. It takes time and patience to achieve fitness results.
