Fitness Myth Busting with Hina Sampat

Many people have wrong assumptions about what keeps their body fit, and active. A lot of us keep up with the latest fitness trends, even workout regularly, but at the end of the day, we’re still sore, right, and something or the other just feels wrong.


Today we are debunking myths about fitness.


MYTH #1: No Pain = No Problem

Your muscles over time get tighter and tighter over the years. Resistance training only rapidly increases the speed. The years of tightness keeps building up. So even when you feel no pain, doesn’t mean you have no problem. Have you ever suddenly hurt your back? Or suddenly your knee gave up one day? It happened randomly, right? Not really. It was the result of this unforeseen tightness.


MYTH #2: Stretching is the answer to the problem

Stretching doesn’t solve all issues. Especially static stretching. Yes, it might elongate some muscle fibres, but those are not the deep, affected muscle fibres. So the effort will barely make a difference.


MYTH #3: Massages/chiropractic sessions can solve the pain

When dealing with pain, massages or chiropractic sessions may help you, sure. But it won’t resolve your pain. We should be preventing this pain from happening in the first place. And the answer to that is not massages. It is intentional, deliberate movement. Like Somatics. Or Yoga. Best of all, SomaticsYoga.
