I was sent this video MANY TIMES. It was a highly energetic rant about gym classes, the ‘beach body’ and assuming everyone is there to lose body fat. It captured a sentiment I have wanted to talk about for a while, so let’s do it. www.instagram.com/bdccarpenter | Ben Carpenter

This video landed on my feed, and I have some thoughts. Let’s get it out of the way, someone’s body weight *can* have an impact on their health. This probably doesn’t surprise any of you, right? Many people can attest that sometimes their health declines if they gain a lot of weight and improves if they lose weight. It doesn’t always happen like that, but it can. Therefore, there are instances where a medical professional might want to talk about your weight, and sometimes this is a delicate top

Going to the gym isn't actually that powerful for weight loss. There are a BAZILLION great reasons to exercise covering physical and mental health benefits, but it isn't great for weight loss. This shouldn't be controversial, the *average* person's exercise regime doesn't burn a huge number of calories and this is supported by the fact that a lot of studies show minimal weight loss when people embark on an exercise regime. Unless they also change what they are eating, of course. Yes, there are p

Your workout is a BAD way to lose weight. I was tagged in this video multiple times, and also asked for my opinion via message. Have you ever worked out in the morning but then felt so tired you had to lie on the sofa for the rest of the day? If you burned 500 calories from your workout, BUT you were less active for the rest of the day, maybe you save some of that 500 calories and do not get the weight loss results you expect. This is an example of how adding in exercise calories can steal from

Deadlifting at 70 years old. I saw this amazing video (on BBC100women) showing the progress of a woman with arthritis, going from struggling to walk to now deadlifting over 100kg (220lbs). This is an amazing video but I think it is actually even more amazing than most people realise. Resistance training is great for health and longevity, especially as you get older. It isn’t just about young people trying to get muscles, it can help offset frailty and sarcopenia. It can help keep people stronger

Have you ever felt SUPER CONFUSED by health and fitness advice? Trust me, you are not alone. I saw this funny video by fatlossdietitian (on Instagram) and I think it shows how a lot of people feel. One of the problems with overly complicated advice is that if often leaves you with analysis paralysis. So many people are telling you different things, you don’t know what to do. So, if you have NO IDEA WHERE TO START, let me break it down to the most important behaviours. Are these the only things t
