'The mistake: People go straight for real pull-ups'

A common misconception in fitness is the belief that exercises like push-ups, dips, and pull-ups are simple. However, trainer Freja Ferreira points out that a surprising number of people perform these fundamental movements incorrectly.

Ferreira explains that the primary error lies in neglecting a full range of motion. "Many people are careless about achieving a full range of motion, and then they get no results," she states. This incomplete execution significantly diminishes the effectiveness of the exercises.

While trends like CrossFit and HIIT often dominate fitness discussions, calisthenics, which relies solely on bodyweight, has been steadily growing. Outdoor gyms across Sweden are particularly popular during warmer months, attracting many fitness enthusiasts.
