1. Sport is for professionals. This idea applies only in the case of performance sports. The native qualities needed for professional sportsmen (speed, skills, specific height, and so on.) can only be developed, they cannot be formed by training. So long as the goal of a regular person isn’t performance, almost all sports could be practiced for keeping the body in a good shape. It’s about dosing the training you selected, to ensure that the benefits are larger than wear and tear. Even sports regarded as tough can be practiced in a ’soft’ way (tae-bo, mini-triathlon, jogging, and so on.).

2. Training is exhausting. This concept is true so long as it means consuming all your energy (muscular and hepatic glycogen), but it doesn’t imply that training gets you into that state of fatigue which would slow down the process of recovery of the body. Even in performance sports, the objective is to have instead effective than tiring training, to ensure that the body can get the stimulation necessary to qualitative progress from one training to the next.

Much more than in other sports, in fitness, the sportsman is spared overexerting. However, the training should not turn into ineffective. People can come to the gym tired after a work day and leave relaxed (physically and psychologically) and not more fatigued. This is extremely helpful for people with sedentary jobs, but also for those who make physical effort at work. They could make use of the training by choosing a type of effort designed to make up the one involved in their job.

3. Training takes too much time. Again, this idea is true if applied to performance, which can just be acquired by working quite a lot. But additionally in this case, short and very intense training or training for relaxation and recovery are often performed. In fitness, you are able to get to 20-minute training, working only super-series of fast exercises, which could involve, directly or indirectly, all the muscles. Anyhow, regular training should not take more time than an hour and a half. Otherwise, the body will enter into the catabolic faze, when the cortisone secretions ‘cannibalize’ the muscles.

4. Any type of exercise is good for solving your problems. What’s true in this refers to some particular cases like surplus of adipose tissue. This tissue can be ‘melted’ by any type of aerobic exercise (running, cycling, swimming) if this is continued long enough. Even in these cases, it was clear that a few exercises are much more effective than others. There are scenarios when only a combination of exercises with a certain amount of each, can supply you with the results you expect. Greater than that, repeating the same exercise all the time can have as a consequence not just losing balance in the antagonist muscles and in the joints involved in training, but also stopping progress or even regressing.

5. You are older? No more exercises! This is correct only if we talk about very demanding efforts (truly heavy weights, fast running, jumping, and so on.). There are plenty of exercises modified to different ages. Their purpose is to keep and improve health and also to enhance physical shape. The improvement of movement parameters for older people pertains particularly to muscular and cardio-vascular resistance as well as mobility of the joints. Since the final purpose of training is not getting ready for a competition, the exercises can be organized gradually according to their difficulty, getting rid of the risk of accidents. Simply because it’s based on perseverance, fitness could be adapted without problems for older people and even for individuals suffering from different affections specific to old age.
