Exercise Myths

I saw this article this morning on exercise myths which I thought was good.  Here are the myths (summarized):

  1. No pain; no gain.
  2. Stretching reduces risk of injury.
  3. The best time to work out is in the morning.
  4. If you’re not going to work out hard, don’t bother.
  5. Exercising the same each day is the best way to build up a muscle.
  6. Running is the best way to get in shape.
  7. Heavy weights create big muscles and small weights create lean muscles.
