Pain after workout
Over time, the body adapts to a given workload, so the number of microtraumas — the reaction of your muscles to unusual strain that causes post-training pain — is reduced as the muscles become stronger.
Experts don’t advise exercising through growing muscle pains. It is necessary to stop and monitor your condition.

Top 10 Most Common Fitness Myths
Erasing bad eating with exercise
Your eating has to be in check. About 80% of what you look like is based on diet.
It’s a calorie game, people often overestimate the amount of food they burn in an hour-long sess...
Toning muscles
Your muscles are already toned or you wouldn’t be able to move around. They’re just not visible because of the layer of fat covering them.
Different exercises for men and women
Both sexes have the same body structure but different hormonal make-ups which may mean a difference in muscle strength but does not mean they should work out any differently.

12 Nutrition and Fitness Myths That Just Won't Die - Nerd Getting Fit
Calories In Calories Out Principle Is Out
This myth is usually followed with “X makes you fat, not calories”. That X is usually a macronutrient such as carbs or fat. Sometimes it’s a chemical found in the foods.
Eating Small Meals And High Metabolism

Diet Sodas And Weight Gain
Although there are many potential health effects of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners, weight gain is not one of them. Your body can’t store fat out of nothing.
For some people, consuming certain beverages may trigger a craving for another food. If you know when you drink diet soda, you are going to crave some other food, avoid it.

Heavy Lifting For Bulk
One can get stronger by increasing the size of the individual muscle fibers, and by recruiting more of the muscle fiber to work together when needed.
A bulky body is also considered a negative in certain sports. Getting bulky is a specific, targeted training which includes high-volume exercises, calorie intake, and protein supplements, and cannot be attained by simply lifting heavier weights.
Using Scales
Scales are actually useful in providing you with information about your general progress and direction.
