โฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃโฃHands up whoโs ever been guilty of any of these ๐ I can safely say these drive a lot of health & fitness professionals crazy because pretty much all of it comes down to an industry that benefits from people feeling rubbish about themselves. Let me explain: For the longest time, the fitness industry (and society) has been obsessed with cardio and being thin. It has relied on people (๐ฎ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ญ๐บ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ) feeling negatively about themselves so that they can be sold products/services that either might not suit them or that they donโt need all in the name of earning a quick buck. For example, this week 3 businesses have tried to sell me a nutrition plan that I can then re-brand and sell on as my own ๐ Wild.โฃ Without in depth knowledge of nutrition and how different things may impact different people it would be so irresponsible of me. Thatโs why nutritionists have a job!

The tide ๐๐ turning, women are ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ฅ to lift weights, not try and โ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌโ from pregnancy and understand the basics of healthy weight loss - but itโs still not enough. Exercise for me has always been about celebrating what your body can do and how it makes you feel. When you enjoy exercise, results come. Over time, I hope this outdated view will continue to change - but until then, stay savvy; ask questions, exercise for health not just aesthetics (but also itโs ok if you have an aesthetic goal - youโre an adult and you can decide what you want ๐), donโt buy supplements etc. that you havenโt got a clue about - and know that thereโs no quick fix. Being fit and healthy is a ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ choice. And one bag of salad ainโt gunna cut it sadly ๐คฃโฃ
