From “As Seen on TV” exercise equipment and videos that don’t work, to “energy bars” and supplements that are marketed as “health food”, to part-time personal trainers who are better called “kids”, to diet books and fitness magazines that publish anything as long as it supports their agenda… the fitness industry is better called the “greed industry” and has very little credibility.

An imbalance, in a set of muscles surrounding a joint, eventually leads to a minimized range of motion within the area, localized soft tissue discomfort and/or frequently acute or chronic injury. This type of pathology is common since we’re capable of performing very specific activities for long periods of time on a daily to yearly basis (i.e. sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen or endurance training excluding all other balancing activities).
Only targeted progressive resistance training – NOT stretching – prevents or corrects this musculoskeletal imbalance.
