  Arguing that counting calories will develop an unhealthy mindset while selling a book called The Bikini Body is kind of special to say the least.

  I feel like a big factor for these sorts of influencers getting so big is the non-intimidating factor of what they prescribe. If people think &quot;Okay, I can probably do that&quot; and feel like they did some working, then they&apos;ll keep coming back, regardless of actual efficacy.<br><br>Combine that with a generally pleasant demeanor and it can bring a lot of repeat viewers.

  Kayla seems more naturally skinny than fit from training. My guess is that she looked pretty much the same before she started exercising.

  As a physical therapist, I am absolutely shocked at how hard a bridge is for some people 😂. If you work in a gym or spend time in one you might not be used to exercising with people that are scarily de conditioned. I have had people call me and yell at me for all the pain they are in, only to figure out that it’s just DOMs from super basic exercise. The shocking part? It’s been so many decades since they have done anything, they didn’t remember muscle soreness was a thing.

  I can&apos;t be the only person that wants to see Mike reenact this workout in the same outfit

  Every woman i’ve ever tried talking to about working out has complained about not wanting to get “bulky” and therefore they tend to want to avoid weight training. Girl, i’ve been trying my whole life to get bulky and that’s just not how it works lol. I always tell them unless they are taking copious amounts of steroids/peds that they are physically incapable of getting too “bulky”. You’ll build some muscle for sure but you’ll never get to a point where a man and/or woman finds you disgusting, freaky, or unattractive because you have too much muscle. It’ll be quite the opposite actually lol.

  I’m so glad you reacted to her. As a 30 year old Australian woman I was part of the demographic Kayla’s plans targeted years ago when thigh gaps were in 😂 she sold 1200 cal meal plans that recommended a black coffee when you’re hungry 🙃

  Whenever Scott tells Mike that a joke is no good for YouTube, Mike just needs to point at this clip of Scott cackling maniacally about necrophilia.

  Here&apos;s the reality for anyone who wants to exercise: Just do it. It doesn&apos;t matter if some of her routines are sub-optimal, what matters is that you&apos;re moving, and that you move in a safe way. It&apos;s better for people to do something than to sit around doing nothing.<br><br>If later you decide you aren&apos;t happy looking like you never workout or you want more strength than what her routine provides — then find something more advanced.

  Mike, bring on Christle for one of these some time. In this case it would&apos;ve been especially interesting to hear a woman&apos;s perspective on women-centric workouts.
