Overestimating how many calories you burn during exercise

Many people believe that physical activity "boosts" their metabolism. While exercise does boost metabolic rate, it may be less than you think. According to studies, people who are both moderately overweight and overweight tend to overestimate the number of calories they burn during exercise, often by a significant amount.

People may sometimes overestimate their level of physical activity. In one research, 29.1% of participants reported doing more physical exercise than they actually were. Exercise is still important for general health and can help weight loss. It's important to know how much exercise you're getting and how many calories you're burning. However, experts suggest it's best to create a calorie deficit through eating rather than exercise. Work out in ways that you enjoy to make fitness a way of life, not just a way to burn calories.
