2 Teens Hospitalized After Doing 1,000 Squats Each

I saw this on TV this morning:
https://www.livescience.com/66054-te...is-squats.html

It reminds me of a story one of my fitness class instructors told us some time back. There was a woman who was taking her first spin class and apparently she overdid it big time. She also ended up with rhabdomyolysis and, if I remember correctly, she actually died!

I think my butt hurts just thinking about that. But good article! I would never do that man squats but good to know about the extremes. Thanks for posting.

1000 reps of anything isn’t good, neither is super long extended time holding a pose. I’ve never, ever seen good results from exercising like this yet it seems many trainers are uncreative and feel it’s better to OD on the same damn thing than try something new, body awareness be damned. I know someone who planked themself into a hernia during a pt session of unending planks and pushups. The body has a certain threshold meant not to be overextended, pain signals are there for a reason.

I don't know that I had much more sense at that age, though, to be fair!
