What’s the most cliche advice about physical fitness you have ever received?

1. In my honest opinion, a lot of cliche advice is actually good advice. Ig the worst i heard in highschool is when every said I should have no rest days, but since then everyone has learned and like yk, it’s better with more rest. But yeah, that’s the worst I’ve heard ig

2. “More reps, lower weight to get toned. If you lift too heavy, you’ll get ‘too muscular'”

   It’s so weird how people think you can just accidentally get jacked.

3. No pain, no gain.

   Guess they are right, but I heard this after a little league at bat when I got jabbed in the thumb by the ball.

   It hurt quite a bit a first.

   Ended up being a hairline fracture.

4. “No rest days”/”No days off”

   Your body don’t do shit without recovery.

5. i know it’s more related to sports in general but…

   “it’s all about breathing”/”you just need to breathe”

   well gee, thanks coach, here i was not using my lungs like an idiot…

6. “Get ripped.”

   Um, no. Get healthy.

7. “Make it a habit”

8. Cliche doesn’t mean wrong guys, it means overly common, tired etc.

9. Women being afraid that they accidentally get male muscles if they work out.

10. “Shock the muscle” typically leads to people changing their routine too frequently.

11. The “don’t get to big” I’ve been trying to get too big for 10 years lol
