Knowing the Truth Will Only Benefit You
There is so much information on physical activity out there on the internet and not all of it is necessarily true. It’s time to know the difference between what is actually true with regards to fitness and what is actually a myth. Luckily, there are many websites out there with the resources to tell you the correct facts so that you are more informed. One of the most common phrases people say is, “Oh, I don’t have enough time in my day to work out.” That is just an excuse because to get a good workout in, it only takes 30 minutes a day to meet the ACSM guidelines. While most people may be misinformed with such information, here’s a great resource that will help educate those that have been told or even looked at physical activity the wrong way in the past.
How to Know What Sources to Trust
The internet is a big place. A lot of the time, I find myself looking on social media reading about different trends going on right now in the fitness industry. But is that actual from a credible source? Maybe, maybe not. Twitter and facebook are notorious for posting advertisements on their websites. While some of the information pertaining to fitness may be accurate on these social media sites, you never know if it is 100% true unless it is from a leading company in the industry like this CDC (Center for Disease Control) example from Twitter. However, to get the most correct information, staying up to date on research articles as well as trusted websites will always lead you in the right direction throughout your fitness journey.
Having an Open Mind
Sometimes, the truth is a little hard to hear when it comes to how easy it is to find time throughout your day to workout instead of making an excuse. While it is good to be knowledgeable in the field of fitness, it is also important to read about the possible wrong information you may believe of physical activity. For example, instead of being on electronics, go for a run! Contrary to what the internet may say, it isn’t actually as bad as you think, especially when you go with a friend. Sometimes, feeling uncomfortable could be a good thing because that’s where we grow most as humans! So in conclusion, there are many myths out there about physical activity that make it sound bad, but in reality, most of them are wrong and you should do what you want. Do what makes you happy and helps keep you healthy.
