Maybe you already know that "no pain, no gain" is a fitness myth. You don't gain from pain; instead, if you workout until (or after) you have pain, you can injure yourself.

Here are more fitness myths that you might toss out of your workout plan:

  • Ab Crunches Will Flatten Your Mid-Section
  • Regular Exercise Keeps Your Balance Strong
  • You Can Tighten Your Upper-Arm Flab with Weights
  • My Arthritis/Weight/Diabetes, etc., Keeps Me from Being Active
  • You Must Lose Weight to Be More Fit
  • Drink Lots of Water during Long Workouts
  • Exercise Takes Too Much Time and Effort

Click HERE to read more about these myths and see what you may be doing wrong.


I think one of the worst things in the world would be to expend a ton of energy on something that's not going to benefit me in the long run.  I hate spinning my wheels, as I'm sure you do as well. 

What's your take on this list of myths?

I was surprised by the water myth.  I always thought drinking lots of water was good for you.

I was surprised, too.  Perhaps it's because substituting water for something that may provide a little more vitamins or protein is not in our best interests?

I thought that mineral waters etc were a glorified pop w/o the fizz.  That straight tap water was better.

I've just never understood drinking fizzy water.  <g>

I knew that drinking too much water wasn't necessary, but I once read you will know if you are drinking enough water, when your urine is clear!
