Myths about fitness and the truth behind them
Sadly, there are a lot of fitness myths about exercises or diets that clearly won’t help you obtain the results you wish for and that will do you more harm than good.
I’m going to tell you a few of them, and what’s the truth behind them, to help you achieve your goals and stay fit in the best possible way.
Myth: The best moment of the day to do your workout is in the morning, before doing anything else
Truth: Actually, the best moment do to your exercises is anytime you want, as long as you make sure that your workouts are constant. It would be perfect if you would make your physical exercises a daily habit, so if you’re the kind of person who prefers going to the gym in the evening, than so be it. Or if you prefer to go for a run in the morning, do that. The choice is yours.
Myth: Weightlifting transforms fat into muscle
Truth: You can’t transform fat into muscle! The two are very different tissues. The fat tissue is located under your skin, between muscles and organs like your heart, while your muscles are located everywhere in your body.
Weightlifting can help the muscle tissue grow, but it won’t transform fat into muscle. The best way to get rid of fat tissue is maintaining a healthy diet which includes vegetables, whole grains, protein and healthy fats, like those you find in olive oil and fish.
Myth: Sport is the best way to lose weight
Truth: If you want to lose weight, don’t expect the gym to do miracles for you. Firstly, you have to change your diet to a healthy one, and then you have to support this diet with physical exercises. Sports are for sure a necessary condition for you to stay fit, but it’s not enough.
Myth: You only have to go to the gym once or twice a week to stay fit
Truth: This may not come as a surprise, but going to the gym only once or twice a week is not enough. For your workout to produce real effects, you should go to the gym or exercise at home 3-5 times a week.

Another myth: Hit the gym as much as you can, lift weights and your body will transform.
Truth: The most effective way to get stronger, is to follow a plan which implements the principles of training (like progressive overload, adequate recovery, and Specificity).

Fantastic post, I will definitely resteem it. let's spread health and fitness to the community.
Also wanted to add that to LOSE WEIGHT at any cost you need to be in a caloric deficit, which means burn more than what you eat. Then consistency is the key to get results at the gym. You are better off going 3 times a week for a year than going 7 times a week for a week :)

I do agree but to the first myth. I do feel much better when I startet my day with my daily sports routine. It gives me more energy, makes me feel more successfull and just lifts up my whole spirit. Of course I sometimes just squeeze it into the day, but that never makes me feel that good. Great post thanks for that.

The "fat into muscle" thing is a very enduring myth, but the way you explain it makes complete sense. I suppose if you exercise properly, you'll burn fat and build muscle, but they are two distinct processes.
