Ok, so it's 2014 and there are still certain fitness myths that refuse to go away.
1. Unused muscle NEVER turns to fat. Muscle atrophies (gets smaller) when it is not exercised or used. Muscle tissue cells can never turn to fat tissue cells.
2. You could never exercise enough to counterbalance a horrible diet. It would take running 10 miles to start burning off a McDonalds meal. Choose wisely what you eat.
