There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Somepeople believe that they can't help putting an weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:

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, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.

I am fat because I burn calories slowly

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! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. 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 you 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. If they don't, rest and seek medical advice.

参考译文

关于肥胖和运动一直有很多普遍而错误的认识和想法。有些人认为随着年龄的增长，他们不能控制他们的体重，而另一些人认为，如果他们停止锻炼，那么他们的肌肉就会变成脂肪。以下有一些更加荒诞的说法：

我的体重永远也不会下降，因为我来自一个肥胖的家庭

错!虽然我们不能改变我们与生俱来的体型，但是我们不能将我们的肥胖归因于我们的基因。有大量的证据表明，肥胖之所以会世代相传，其主要原因是因为他们享有相同的习惯，那就是吃得太多而锻炼得太少。

我很胖，因为我的卡路里燃烧得很慢

错!肥胖并不是由缓慢的新陈代谢所引起的。事实上，虽然胖子比苗条的人消耗的能量更多，但是他们还没有意识到他们吃了多少。而写日记可以帮助你更加准确地计算出你每日的食物摄入量。

运动很无趣

错!如果你重复做一件事，那么任何事情都会变得无聊。关键是要制定一种既有趣又能取得进步的平衡多变的计划。如果你喜欢周日散步，那么你就可以采取不同的路线。如果你喜欢做瑜伽，那么你也可以选择太极课。如果你喜欢打扫，那么给自己设定一个距离或时间上的挑战。

没有痛苦，就没有收获

错!运动不是为了伤害。事实上，痛苦是你的身体在告诉你，你的某些动作是错误的，继续锻炼可能会造成严重伤害。当你开始锻炼时你可能会经历轻微的不适感，但这只是你的身体在适应你生活方式中的积极改变，并且疼痛将会相对迅速地消失。如果不是这样，那么你就要休息一会并寻求医疗建议。
