There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. While others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths(缪见):
I'll never lose weight—I come from a fat family
Wrong! While we can't change the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families.
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.
Exercise is boring
Wrong! The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something's wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.
A. And the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.
B. I am fat because I burn calories slowly.
C. Anything will be interesting if you do the same kind of exercise.
D. If they don't, rest and seek medical advice.
E. And the main reason is that their parents are fat.
F. Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively.
G. Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older.
