Ten Great Myths of Physical Fitness

保持身体健康的十大误区

早晨是锻炼的最佳时间段?
运动量越强，消耗热量就越快?
想快些减肥，慢跑时就应多穿一套运动衣（这样就能多出汗）？

[1]One of the most striking 『显著的；突出的』characteristics 『特征，特点』of the fitness boom『热潮』is how little many people seem to know about the subject. Predictably『可预见地』, beginners are the worst culprits『犯错误者』, but sometimes even those who've been exercising for years have erroneous『错误的；不正确的』ideas about how exercise and their bodies work. Here are some of the most common misconceptions『误解，错误的观念』:

[1]健身热潮的显著特征之一是很多人对于健身这项运动认识太少。不难想象，新参加健身的人是常犯错误的，但有时即使是健身多年的人对于运动和身体机能仍有误解，以下就是一些最常见的错误观点。

误区一：我连续几星期坚持每天做一百个仰卧起坐和侧弯腰，为什么还是不能除去多余的脂肪呢？

[2]Because spot『部位』reduction is virtually『事实上；实际上』impossible. "When you utilize『利用』fat it comes from a pool of lipids 『脂类』-fatty substances-throughout the body, not from one specific location," says physiologist『生理学家』Robert M. Otto, director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Adelphi University in Garden City, N. Y. Sit-ups, he points out, are fine for toning『使沉重，结实』the abdominal『腹部的』muscles, but they won't melt fat away『消散；消失』."

[2]原因是，要想在某一部位减肥事实上是不可能的。罗伯特·奥托，生理学家，来自纽约州达登市阿德非大学人类行为学实验室主任，指出?quot;要消耗的脂肪是来自整个身体里的很多脂肪类物质，犹如潭中取水，不是来自某一特定的部位。仰卧起坐可以增强腹部肌肉，但对于减少脂肪却无能为力。"
