Cesc Escolà, fitness trainer: "The more still we are, the more we atrophy and die."

Fitness trainer Cesc Escolà recounted on Pere Mas's "Versión Verano" program on RAC1 how an injury changed his approach to sports . In January, he tore his Achilles tendon playing basketball, a sport he hadn't practiced for some time. That experience, far from discouraging him, helped him listen to his body and recognize that he needed to stop.

The Operación Triunfo gym instructor and RTVE contributor explained that his recovery has allowed him to learn to set limits , even when it comes to physical activity. To cope with the process, he decided to turn to social media , where he shares his progress step by step. Escolà maintains that this setback helped him focus on the positive and convey a message of self-improvement to those who follow him.

During the interview, she insisted that exercise is essential for both physical and mental health . However, she warned that starting abruptly can be counterproductive . Her advice is to take small steps toward creating a stable routine , since the hardest part isn't getting started, but rather maintaining it over time . In her opinion, this is the only way to truly realize the benefits of training .

Escolà was blunt in stating that human beings "are not designed to remain seated." He argued that " the more still we are, the more we atrophy and die, " and that a lack of movement gradually deteriorates the body . For him, exercise is not a luxury or a supplement, but a basic survival tool , as important as eating and drinking water daily .
