Five Misconceptions of Gym Fitness Exercise

Fitness exercise misunderstanding 1: Back stretching

　　This is the most common exercise method in the gym, but it must be known that this exercise method is only suitable for those with flexible shoulder joints, and those with professional sports knowledge. Only they can do this exercise formally. So if you are not a professional, it is best not to do back stretching for a long time. Inappropriate stretching may cause shoulder muscle strains. The stretched crossbar often touches the neck and will invisibly damage the cervical spine. And over time, the entire spine will be deformed.

　　　Fitness exercise misunderstanding 2: Back weightlifting

　　Back weightlifting is just like back stretching requires professionals or people with flexible shoulder joints to do it. Ordinary people should not do this exercise for a long time. It will strain the shoulder muscles, cause back trauma, and cause spinal diseases.

　　　Fitness exercise misunderstanding 3: Legs and weights

　　This is the most common exercise in gyms. Some communities also have such facilities. Its specific method is to push the heavier equipment upward from a lying down position, and then return to its original position, and repeat. The biggest misunderstanding of most of the exercise is that they do not know that if the angle is less than 90 degrees when retracting the legs, it will damage the knee joints. If you really want to use this exercise to exercise your leg muscles, you must adjust the angle of the recliner on your back to be smoother.

Fitness exercise misunderstanding 4: Step on a treadmill

　　Many people like treadmills when going to fitness centers, and even have treadmills at home. Some people who exercise on treadmills like to stick their chests directly to the machine, hold the handrail hard or press the instrument with their elbows. This method is very wrong. It will cause damage to joints, spine and other parts. Therefore, when using a treadmill, it is best to hold the handle with your hands, raise your chest and raise your head, look straight ahead, and exercise rhythmically without being too fast.

　　　Fitness exercise misunderstanding 5: Local weight loss

　Some people's body looks thicker and too large, so they always want to reduce the fat in a certain part of the body through exercise. For example, many people deliberately go to it. To reduce the fat on the thighs, abdomen, and arms, you can spare time and money to go to the gym to sweat and exercise, but the results are very little. Because exercises with the purpose of local weight loss are not suitable for training in the gym, the equipment in the gym can help exercise muscles. In fact, it is likely to have a counterproductive effect on the situation of weight loss, because those equipment and sports will transform the fat in the local fat capsule into muscle mass, which is stronger and more prominent. Therefore, it is best not to blindly use the equipment in the gym, especially for girls who do not want to have a muscle on the body.

　　Fitness exercise is very beneficial, but it must be appropriate and moderate to avoid misunderstandings so that exercise and health will not be delayed.
