Singapore Corporate Fitness: Real Life Lies and Misconceptions
The false stuff is still out there...
I was having lunch with some friends in the finance industry.
These are smart educated people who earn good money. But they still had some sommon misconceptions about fitness and how to get more of it.
But, they were open to learning and thats great news!
Here are some of the issues that came up:
Core stability? How do you train it? - Stability exercises not sit-ups
Nutrition basics - whoa! a calories is NOT a calorie... the Quality of calories matters alot!
Isolations, slow, machine exercises - Oops, those combine the 3 LEAST effective types into one time wasting program!
Jogging - dangerous and unproductive
Eating more often makes me... LEANER?
It's too big of a job to clear up all these misconceptions one by one. Good thing we have the internet and I have a website and newsletter (subscribe at the bottom of the blog page) that can help spread the news!
