Just because everyone you follow can’t stop posting about the latest fitness craze, that doesn’t necessarily make it healthy. Many of the trends that emerged online in the last few years proved to be extremely destructive and we’re bringing you four you should definitely avoid.
Ab Crack
If Instagram made you believe you must have a line running down the middle of your abdomen to look healthy and fit, think again. No matter how intense your workouts are, you won’t get an ab crack unless you’re genetically predisposed to have one.
A4 Waist Challenge
People taking part in this disturbing challenge compared their waistlines to the width of an A4 paper. Experts pointed out this ridiculous beauty standard can’t be achieved by the majority of grown women, since it relies on changing their natural shape.
Thigh Gap
Trying to form a gap between your thighs with special diet and extreme exercise is usually a waste of time, since this body goal can only be attained by people who have the right bone structure and body type.
Belly Button Challenge
This disturbing trend consists of wrap your arm behind your back until it touches your belly button. This movement can only be mastered by people with a great deal of flexibility and shoulder mobility, and can be damaging for everyone else.
