Is Fitness and social media—harmful

Social Media allows people to share information with the click of a button, without checking the facts beforehand. For example, posts about exercise can be shared by anyone on social media and there are people giving out advice on fitness without having any experience or without the appropriate qualifications, which could be dangerous.

The general tendency is to follow or copy without adequate research. In such cases, people often ignore their health requirements and limitations and end up pushing themselves to the point of no returns.

But that do not mean you have to shun all social media for fear of negative effects. Remember that exercise is about much more than losing weight. Increasing your physical activity can reduce your risk for disease, improve your sleep, and help you feel better in your skin.

Enjoy the benefits of social media without falling for its traps, do adequate research on post and videos available on social media in regard to fitness regime before following or adopting it.
