You don't
need to work out if you use electro-stimulation
FALSE: These devices can be integrated
with fitness exercises but cannot replace them. Muscle stimulation
through exercising with or without equipment is more natural and
complete. Instead the use of electro stimulation devices is useful for
certain rehabilitation therapies.
You should
drink while you exercise
TRUE: It is extremely important to
drink liquids such as water or saline integrators, before, during and
after exercise. This counterbalances the loss of fluids through
perspiration and breathing. You need enough water to maintain your body
at a normal temperature, and therapy avoiding excessive overheating,
which is dangerous.
Exercising
for anything less than an hour is waste of time
FALSE: 20 minutes of exercise, 3 to 4
times a week, will give you better results than 1 hour of sporadic
exercise. The frequency and regularity with which you work out are more
important than the amount of time you spend exercising.
You must
eliminate fats to lose weight
FALSE: A well-balanced diet should
include 20% of fat. Fats are a very important source of energy, they
insulate the body against cold, they help the body absorb certain
vitamins and they assist in hormone and prostaglandin production. In
order to lose weight on a permanent basis, you must increase the amount
of calories you burn off through exercise and at the same time time you
must maintain a balanced intake of calories.
