Some misunderstandings about fitness

Usually we will find that there are many people around us who like to do fitness. It is of course better to have the habit and hobby of fitness, because fitness can better help us exercise our body to ensure health, and can also effectively prevent some bad diseases. However, it is also necessary to remind friends who do fitness that if you have some misunderstandings in the process of fitness, it will cause harm to your health.

Fitness Misconception 1: Back Stretching

This is the most common exercise method in the gym, but it is important to know that this type of exercise is only suitable for people with flexible shoulder joints and those who have professional sports knowledge. Only they can do this set of exercises correctly. Therefore, if you are not a professional, it is best not to do back stretching for a long time. Improper stretching may lead to shoulder muscle strain. The stretching beam often hits the neck and invisibly damages the cervical spine. Moreover, over time, the entire spine will be deformed.

Fitness Misconception 2: Lifting Weights with Your Back

Back weightlifting, 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, as it can strain the shoulder muscles, cause back trauma, and cause spinal diseases.

Fitness Misconception 3: Leg Pushing Heavy Objects

This is the most common exercise in the gym, and some residential areas also have such facilities in their fitness equipment. The specific method is to push up a heavier device from a lying position, then return to the original position, and repeat this process. The biggest misunderstanding of many people who do this exercise is that they don't understand that if the angle of the leg is less than 90 degrees when retracting, it will cause knee joint injury. If you really want to use this exercise to exercise your leg muscles, you must adjust the angle of the recliner on your back, the gentler the better.

Fitness Misconception 4: Treadmill

Many people love to use treadmills when they go to the fitness center, and some even have treadmills at home. Some people who exercise on a treadmill like to stick their chest directly to the machine, hold the handrails tightly or use their elbows to support the equipment. This method is very wrong. It will cause damage to the joints, spine and other parts of the body. Therefore, when using a treadmill, it is best to hold the handles with your hands, keep your chest and head up, look straight ahead, and exercise rhythmically instead of too fast.

The misunderstandings introduced above often occur during the fitness process. If you don’t want to suffer adverse injuries due to these fitness misunderstandings, you need to abide by some principles during the fitness process and try to avoid such misunderstandings. Only in this way can you achieve the most ideal fitness results.
