Fitness Book Review: Exposing Yoga Myths
With all the home exercise options out there, it can be a little overwhelming. YouTube, Instagram, ZOOM classes… But what if you just want to do your own thing?
For the past few months, I started us off with the Train Like A WLF podcasts to familiarize you with — from the breath to the burn — how home workouts should really work.
But now we need to get into specifics, because otherwise, one of us is going to run into educated tangents. (Spoiler: it’s probably me.)
I want you to stock your home fitness locker with useful mental gear. And if I started you off with the breath, then I can’t not start you off here with Exposing Yoga Myths.
Yoga is one of the most popular disciplines to turn to during a time of stress. The postures are simple, direct, and would seem to be universally user-friendly.*
However, yoga is a great way to mess yourself up if you’re doing it wrong.
If you don’t have enough preexisting muscle fiber to literally keep your muscles on your skeleton, and keep your connective tissue in place, then you’re going to get hurt. You’re going to feel worse after a practice.
I would know. Why else do you think a flexy lil’ taekwondo girl would get into deadlifting…
