Coach’s Corner – 12 Fitness Truths I Was Wrong About

Welcome to another solo episode of the Over 50 Health and Wellness Podcast. Today I'm sharing a bit about my personal yoga experience and reflecting on some things I've gotten wrong on my health journey. 

 

I tried hot power yoga years ago - intense flows in a heated room. It was a sweaty struggle at first as an inflexible beginner surrounded by bendy yogis. But over time it helped me build strength, flexibility and mind-body connection. 

 

I'm now re-exploring slower styles like yin yoga. It's challenging in different ways - sitting still and turning inward. But great for mobility and meditation. 

 

Next I talk about things I’ve been wrong about. We all make mistakes and get things wrong, especially in ever-changing fields like health and fitness. I've learned a lot through trial and error. For example:

 

- What works for weight loss long-term is more complex than just calories in and out. 

 

- Consistent balanced training is better than all-out intensity.

 

- Anyone can make a positive impact with health info; no one is too unimportant.

 

The key is staying humble and open to growth. It's uncomfortable admitting when we're wrong, but that's how we improve.

 

I hope this reflection provides some value. Thanks for listening - stay strong! Check the show notes for more details and resources from today's show.
