  The whole “I quit lifting and started Pilates and now my whole life is fixed” narrative is just annoying

  I love the panicked idea of “oh I don’t wanna lift weights too much and accidentally get bulky!” I’ve been actively TRYING to get “bulky” for years and still have a leaner physique than I want. Good luck getting muscles like competitors on accident lol

  I'm surprised you didn't mention the crazy amount of plastic surgery plus body filters so many fitness influencers use. 9x out of 10 they're selling  courses & supplements for results they purchased from a surgeon.

  As Michelle McDaniel says, printers tone, people build muscle.

  I do pilates more bc I don’t get bored. And I have no motivation to do work outs by myself… I think it’s important to pick something you will stick to at the end of the day

  I'm a man so this doesn't really apply to me but one thing I've noticed a lot of women seem to fall for is looking at bodycomposition metrics aimed at men and assuming they should chase the same numbers. Women store about 10%-points more essential bodyfat and it is there for a reason. A man can be perfectly healthy at 12% BF meanwhile many women might lose their periods at that level.

  FINALLY someone who addresses the stupid “toning” and “8 week” narrative. None of us got fat/unfit/lazy in 8 weeks, so we can’t expect to become shredded/athletes/fit in just 8 weeks either. It’s all about consistency, LONGTERM consistency.<br><br>Subbed !!! ❤🎉

  Old lady here. 70, so there’s no doubt. I did one 30-day challenge to stop eating sugar, all of it. It was hard. I didn’t think I would actually succeed, but thought I’ve been through worse and can do anything for a month, come on. At two weeks the worst was over. Withdrawal is real. At a month, I was sleeping better, chronic pains were gone, I was dropping pounds, and since I had a checkup coming and blood work, I continued for another two weeks. All my blood work improved. My doctor was amazed. And I continued. At a year later, I maintain a body weight I love, I feel fabulous, I’m happy in my own skin. Yes I work out. Yes, I on occasion have a dessert, and enjoy it. No guilt. Keep it simple. Eat meat and vegetables till you’re full. Forget everything else at the store, it’s not real food.

  I’ve noticed a lot of the before and afters never show anyone with loose skin?! Especially those who have lost a significant amount of weight.

  Lifting and light cardio actually helps make my cramps feel much better during my period !
