BUSTED!!
Every time I find a fitness influencer promoting dangerous, unsafe, and flat out lies for money—I’m gonna make a public post explaining exactly why they are full of shit and how they’re risking people’s safety for profits/clout/power/fame/etc
They all should be canceled and held accountable for their actions. #safety #safetyfirst #fyp #Fitness #beware
From my own experience exploring pelvic floor and core exercises, I’ve realized how critical proper technique and informed guidance are. The advice to "lock abs in, lift pelvic floor" during hip thrusts, especially with elevated feet and high reps, can do more harm than good. Instead of strengthening, it often overloads the pelvic floor, increasing intra-abdominal pressure and risking issues like prolapse or pain, particularly for postpartum or perimenopausal women. It’s also common to see influencers pushing repetitive high-rep schemes without considering individual fatigue or motor control, which can lead to repetitive strain or loss of coordination. For example, a prescribed 7-day rep ladder reaching 20 reps might seem motivating, but pelvic floor function doesn’t remodel that quickly. Quick fixes promising anatomical changes in a week are misleading marketing tactics rather than science. In my personal fitness journey, I found that mindful, biomechanically sound exercises combined with gradual, individualized progression offer better results and protect joint and core health. Always question cues that don’t align with anatomy, like excessive lumbar hyperextension compensating for weak hip extension—you want to avoid low back irritation or SI joint stress. Listening to your body, consulting credible sources, and focusing on movement quality rather than quantity can help maintain pelvic health and overall fitness. Safety should never be sacrificed for clout or trends. Stay informed and skeptical of quick-fix fitness claims to protect your long-term well-being.
