Any popular belief is turned into truth, irrespective of the fact if it really is the truth or not. There are many myths in the fitness world, steer clear from them as they can effect your workout.
 
“Muscle will turn into fat if I stop exercising.”
Okay, get this right; Fat is made of fatty acids and glycerol, while muscles are made up of protein compounds. So obviously, one cannot “change” into another.  
 
“Crunches will give be a toned body shape.”
This is a very strong myth, prevalent even among trainers. You can never burn fat from your midsection by doing crunches. In fact, by doing crunches, you may add an inch or so to your waistline rather than getting a lean body.
  
“If I skip breakfast, I’ll be thinner.”
Dieting or skipping breakfast will never make you thinner. If you don’t take breakfast, your body will be “alarmed” and start consuming lesser calories and as a result your metabolism will go down the drain!
