The dose is everything

Instagram has blown up fitness, but is it all positive? Does it paint a good enough picture of being strong, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally? Zanna Van Dijk is the perfect person to talk about this with, a fitness blogger and instagram celeb who co-runs the Girl Gains movement. Zanna and I discuss where and how Instagram is playing a role in young people finding fitness information, what messages need to get out there, where to start if you are just getting into fitness, the art of self love, and why everyones journey is different and we all need to find our own level of personal balance.  Oh and her book is out, and it looks awesome: https://www.amazon.co.uk/STRONG-Exercises-Recipes-Achieving-Balanced/dp/1472242343/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481646783&sr=8-1&keywords=strong+zanna+van+dijk  Find Zanna here: http://www.zannavandijk.co.uk  And for all her social profiles, search for: Zanna Van Dijk

In this episode we get very honest with ourselves and our situations, the daily things we deal with as people that could hold us back, but shouldn't if we choose to be honest about the why and be clear with a solution. Could 1 simple shift in our mindset be the key.... We also muse around educating the obese segment of the UK population and what it would take to change that on a mass scale, as well as other fat loss musings with this weeks Q&A. Enjoy.
