Debunking 7 common fitness myths

No pain no gain

When exercising becomes painful, stop immediately to avoid injuries. Tolerating pain is not a good choice.

Sweat indicates an effective workout

Sweat should not be used as the sole indicator of a good workout. Some might sweat a lot more than others while doing the same level of exercise. It doesn’t mean the workouts of those who sweat less were ineffective.

Men should not do cardio

Be it men or women, everyone should do a mix of cardio and strength training for a holistic fitness journey.

Our height depends on genetics. We can’t grow further than what is decided by our DNA. A regular exercise routine is important to lead a healthy life.
