Performative Exercise vs Effective Exercise

Imagine scrolling through your Instagram feed, and there it is — a video of someone doing one arm push-ups with lightning speed, performing acrobatic jumps and showcasing seemingly superhuman feats of strength. It's an impressive digital circus act designed to capture your attention, gather likes and increase followers!

But here is the thing…

This type of performative exercise is rarely the safest or most effective way to exercise.

In fact it’s often out-right dangerous!

Effective exercise is all about making the most out of your workout without the need for digital fireworks. It's about selecting simple exercises and routines that align with your goals, whether that’s building strength, improving endurance, shedding excess weight or simply staying fit and healthy.

In a world full of flashy online content, effective exercise is the silent achiever. Simple exercises, good biomechanics, safe rep speeds and minimal risk of injury!

It won’t wow social media followers.

But effective exercise, not performative exercise, is where the real fitness magic happens!
