Takeaways:
Be cautious of misleading information and marketing tactics on social media related to fitness and weight training.
Mini bands are not a magical tool for transforming your physique and should be used primarily for warm-up and activation exercises.
True high-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves short bursts of all-out effort followed by complete rest, and it should not be done daily.
Beware of marketing strategies that target specific demographics, such as perimenopausal women, and promote workouts that may not be effective or appropriate.
Progressing to heavier weights is important for building strength and achieving desired results, and lifting heavy will not make women bulky.
