Ten exercise myths
Average rating:
1. No pain, no gain
Pain is your body's way of telling you something's wrong, so if exercise hurts, stop! Some minor muscle soreness is to be expected at first, but you must stop if it actually hurts.
2. Your muscles will turn to fat if you stop exercising
Fat and muscle are two different types of tissue and one can't convert into the other. Muscles can decrease in size while, at the same time, you put on fat tissue, but these are two separate processes.
