We all mean well – we want to be healthy, and so we start exercising. Starting to exercise is good, please don’t get me wrong here, we all need to start somewhere, but are you exercising effectively? Is your exercise regimen a well-rounded one? We all want to reap the most health benefits by exercising regularly, and this is why we gather some of the myths that we think you should know.
