MOVE YOUR BODY! 💪🏼

When they told you there was only one way… they were wrong.

And now we have the data to back it up.

The messaging that was trending over the past few years - that there is only one path or one way to health - was not only dangerous and counterproductive, it was WRONG!

“David J. Sautter, a NASM-certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition specialist at Muscle Booster, told Flow Space that this isn’t new information. What is new, however, is that “thanks to the ACSM, we now have the data of 137 systematic reviews backing our ethos,” he said.

“The new guidelines confirm that people who have no experience with certain movements, no equipment or limited time to exercise, can still massively benefit from more accessible forms of resistance training, such as bodyweight exercises or resistance bands.”

Another key point addressed in the paper may quiet the constant debates about the most effective type of resistance training. According to the science cited in the paper, “nontraditional training is highly effective,” so don’t worry if you’re not interested in doing squats with a barbell balanced on your back. If you prefer to lift your body or use resistance bands or lighter dumbbells, you’ll still benefit.

“If training without equipment, or at home, is the easiest way for someone to incorporate exercise in their life, then that is the best exercise for them to do,” said Sautter. “Any form of resistance training you can stick to, ideally from two sessions per week, is the most effective form of resistance training.””

Long story, short, move your body! Have fun, stay consistent. Find new ways to challenge yourself. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
