Alleged "special studies" tell of things you have to consider in the fitness room. There are many myths about fitness, which are often sold as true. Tobias Fendt, operators of sports nutrition portal  has, some of them under the microscope. These are myths that should be ignored rather advises Fendt.

1.The carbs are the enemy, you must completely abandon it.

"When not on carbohydrates, you risk to get tired and losing stamina. It is advisable not to give up carbs completely, but to consume controlled. Prefer morning or immediately "after a workout, advises Tobias Fendt.

2.The training in the morning is very efficient, only this one.

Also it could be a long fight. Some researchers claim that the ideal time for training between 16 and 18 clock because then your body temperature is highest and the training will be very productive. But it is not at all people. Many athletes are not motivated enough to get up in the morning and train. "The best training is when you feel comfortable with it," advises Tobias Fendt.

Third Water during exercise is inappropriate, sports and energy drinks have to be drunk.

Perhaps the most incongruous myth of all, because water is vital. At least two liters of water per day must be drunk. "Sports and energy drinks are also good, but only if you really rely on, and without exaggeration," says fitness expert Fendt. Also sports nutrition, athletes can take as long as they take care of a superior quality.

Not at all. Soreness is not a reliable indication of the growth of muscle cells, but also no sign that there is no growth occurs. "A sore muscles you can also get by excessive stretching and abrupt movements, the exercise is little to no mechanical stress on the muscle.
