Mental Floss host Elliott Morgan discusses a series of common misconceptions about exercise.
Whether you’re exercising to lose weight or just to be healthy, it’s important you do it right. This video takes on some of the most popular myths around exercise and clears things up for you.
How long should you hold on to your running shoes? Is there a magical heart rate level for fat burning? Mental Floss YouTube host Elliott Morgan is here to demystify some popular old wives’ tales you may have heard before. Things like running on a treadmill isn’t necessarily better for your knees, you don’t need to be sweating a waterfall to be getting a good workout, sit-ups won’t get you a six pack, and that most fitness machines in the gym can’t accurately count how many calories you’ve burned. We’ve covered a few these before, like the fact that stretching before exercise doesn’t necessarily lower the risk of injury and that “no pain, no gain” is terrible device, but when it comes to exercise, incorrect knowledge can lead to you doing more work than you need or worse, injury.

If you think this is just a stack of wood… take a closer look.
Imaging taking a walk through a rural field somewhere off in the countryside. If you came upon a large stack of logs, you probably wouldn’t think much was out of the ordinary. After all, farmers and even those who just live in the countryside create large bundles for their winter supply. Or maybe you’d just assume they were discarded and left behind by some lumberjacks. Upon closer inspection, however, you’d be amazed to find that one particular set of seemingly normal logs are actually a secret cabin in disguise!
The camouflaged nature getaway was designed for Dutch performer Hans Liberg by Piet Hein Eeek, to be used as a recording studio. Even when he isn’t recording, the little cabin is the ultimate escape for some “me time” when the hustle and bustle of everyday life begins to grow overwhelming. Portions of the logs lift up to become fully functional windows, and inside the small space is simply furnished with musical instruments, recording equipment, as well as a bookshelf and cozy window seat. Imagine escaping into the woods, tucking yourself away in the little cabin, and snugging up on one of the over sized, plush cushions. Talk about sweetness in solitude.
The cabin looks even more charming during nightfall, as night descends upon the woods and quiets the world around it. Te only thing visible from the outside of the seeming stack of logs is the warm, orange glow of the lights. The perfect, serene atmosphere for any musician at work.
