Tough Cookie Talks

The Fitness Industry Has It A$$ Backwards (+ Other Unconventional Ideas) (Best of Season 1 Replay!)

Listen Later

Most people don't know what to make of my philosophy on fitness. One minute I’m posting a video of me swinging kettlebells. The next minute I’m telling you to take a rest day. First I’m calling BS on all the ways the fitness industry is making you feel like crap. Then I’m talking about the mental health benefits of working out. But just like everything I do, there’s a method to my madness. My fitness philosophy is unlike that of most others. And I’m not sorry about it.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Why being thin, being healthy, and being fit are not necessarily synonymous.
  • Why fitness is a social justice issue.
  • How the way we operate as an industry pushes away the very people we are trying to help.
  • Why I'll never tell you to "love your body".
  • And lots of other hot takes!
