5 MYTHS about fitness you need to know:
— Marcus Oon (@themarcusoon) December 2, 2022
• You need to change your exercise routine every week
• You need to spend hours in the gym
• You need a lot of protein to build muscle
• You need hours of cardio every week to get lean
• You need to avoid “cheat” foods to get lean
If you let motivation dictate your actions, inertia conspires to keep you in place.

ABOUT ME
This endeavour of mine began when I was going through my clinical rotations at various acute and community hospitals as a student physiotherapist, where I witnessed first-hand how poor lifestyle habits can lead to serious health consequences, including the onset of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol (which are well documented in research to cause further health complications like a stroke, or heart disease).During this time, I also realized that life is fragile. It can be taken away in a second.I knew then that I wanted to make a difference and help people prevent such illnesses from happening. Why not do something now?Here's a quote that strongly resonates with my mission:"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in."
