Loads of trendy tips and too-good-to-be-true tricks promise to help you slim down and shape up. But hey, not all of them stand on the solid ground of facts or good exercise habits. Hand out advice that doesn’t hold water, and folks might just throw in the towel on chasing fitness dreams.

Those include monitoring weather conditions and dressing in clothing that improves comfort, especially during inclement seasons, such as extreme heat and cold. Sleep, too, is an important factor in promoting a sustainable exercise routine.
