[@blackoutballer]

Bethenny's opinion was solely for the goal of being skinny. What Tracy was TRYING to say is that to be healthy mentally and have longevity, you have to work out. I work in the nursing field and see skinny geriatrics who are helpless and always in bed. And then there are fit geriatrics who maintained their muscle tone and are still working out!! Same age. Treat your body as if you're going to live a hundred years, not as if you're only living til summer's end.

[@calisongbird]

Excellent point.

[@lotusgrl444]

very true!!! being skinny is not equivalent to being in shape!

[@rampar77]

Bethenny missed the whole point. She just thought loosing weight was enough. One had to do certain amount of strenuous exercises every week. It didn't matter 2 hours every other day or 1 hour every day. It is part of every day life to be healthy, one doesn't have to enjoy it. Walking is not an exercise, people just wanted the easy way out. Diet is also extremely important.

[@noodlep2547]

@@rampar77 I agree with you. Quite apart from the physical health benefits, I value the mental discipline and toughness you develop from pushing yourself through a workout that you may not feel like doing, or are finding tough.

[@eddieandrade1465]

Completely disagree with Tracy. How can you do something 100 percent of the time and not be bothered by the spectrum of emotional swings? I work out four times a week, keep a healthy diet. I can definitely tell you that there are just times when I'm just not in the moo. Don't forget that people also have a plethora of other responsibilities.

[@bethb5053]

My first thought too until I realized it was titled Debate. I just watched a different interview and she did a good job. I never watched this show.

[@rick8602]

Thats why it was canceled after 1 season lol

[@isacare360]

totally agree with you. Bethenny is litteraly the last person i would enjoy having a conversation with. It is just her and her monologue and her stressful voice. We can clearly see Tracy having to hold on from her experience knowledge cause Bethenny do not leave her any room for expressing her speech.

[@Smartass8504]

Yeah, no Bethenny. Tracy is completely right. You have to have a very good relationship with food, but you also HAVE to make exercising a part of your routine. You don't simply just try to eat better. You need to physically exercise as well. People are always looking for the quickest and easiest way to "get healthier".

[@queline213]

I agree with the trainer. Everyone makes time for everything else they don't care for except for at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday which is good for the body.

[@cookielafoo3848]

No wonder she got cancelled Tracy said like 4 things before Beth cut her off! I really liked where she was going and was curious to hear her knowledge on the subject.

[@theglowgoddess8936]

+Cookie Lafoo I agree. Tracy makes a lot of sense. I want to know more of her philosophy, too!

[@dididlicious570]

I honestly think Bethany has an eating disorder. When she was pregnant with her first child, Bryn , I saw her on the show with Jason and she was like shoving her food down her throat without even chewing it. It was weird.

[@KWms7]

I love Tracy's philosophy. Exercise is truly a mind/body/spirit connection. I need it daily because it is not just creating a body, but supporting every part of my life.

[@robertjahn4190]

Bethenny is a really bad interviewer. No wonder her talk show was canceled. She doesn't want to listen to what her guests have to say. Bethenny tries to disagree with whatever her guest says and tries to prove them wrong.

[@MsCerise007]

All her guest are mainly wrong!!!!

[@deejeff8846]

Tracey doesn't like to hear the truth

[@rawhaanhenry8326]

The trainer is absolutely correct. Food alone cannot optimize your health. You might be skinny with dieting but movement is what gives longevity. Being old and skinny is not the same as being old and having mobility and freedom from decrepitude that comes from moving in alignment. two separate things. No matter your genetics, everyone needs movement, but in terms of food, the needs vary considerably based on your genes. It doesn't mean being in the gym. It's not about the gym. It's about movement.

[@donnanegri3186]

Im in my second year of stroke recovery snd as I have learnt at the hospital the human body is made to move, not lie around .this applies to all ages

Problem begins when she won't allow them to speak and instead pretends she is at their level of knowledge and experience.

[@nonnad9210]

TRACY IS THE BEST!!! all my life ive heard people saying to work out 3 times a week and i havent seen ANY changes in my body. When i listened to this wonderful smart woman and got into routine 6 days a week, oh what a change!!! She is absolutely right and very very clever. Shes talking about BRAIN, ladies and gentlemen! Anyone who is familiar with chemistry and biology knows what im talking about.

[@Dancediva240]

Nonna Dek The reason you saw a change with Tracy's methods is because of the 'pigeon-diet plan' she formulated. Your body was just taking in lesser food and you dropped the pounds in that manner, which means that you don't need to do her workout AND follow her diet plan, you just have to eat the way she says you should eat and anybody (even those who haven't even heard of this fraud) will lose weight. What kind of workouts are you doing that you haven't seen results yet? If you concentrate on weight training with progressive overload as the fundamental principle governing your fitness framework, then 3 days a week on non-consecutive days with a healthy eating plan ARE sufficient. Most misinformed exercisers (and this isn't their fault owing to the BS being advocated about fitness all round) do only steady state cardio and religiously document every morsel that goes into their mouth. There is no need to spend 12 hours a week exercising. This woman has absolutely no idea what she is saying and she doesn't understand the first thing about the workings of the human anatomy and how divorced from reality her BS plans are. Please start doing barbell squats, deadlifts, overhead presses and bench presses and steadily increase the weight as you get stronger. Do this 3 times a week while maintaining a generally healthy diet but not restricting yourself from having what you like. Only then will you realise that Tracy Anderson is a downright liar.

[@nonnad9210]

Thank you very much for taking your time and giving your advice, i appreciate it. But why are you saying TA is a liar?

[@Dancediva240]

Nonna D There are many things she has said not just in this video but in mainly all of her other workout vids and interviews. Lie number 1: She tells you that you have to workout ALL the time, almost daily. There is absolutely no need to do that because not only is that virtually impossible with all the other commitments people have, it is really unnecessary. If you do compound exercises 3 times a week and eat healthy, your body burns calories even while you're at rest, while you're watching TV, while you're playing with your baby, while you're in the shower, you name it. It's called EPOC, you can look it up.Only strength training can achieve this, NOT cardio. Lie number 2: She says people are cutting out entire food groups from their diets and she has a big problem with that. She's one to talk, really. Her 30-Day Method diet plan imposes a ban on starches in general. No bread, potatoes, pasta or rice. There are no fats, no dairy, no salt and no red meat. You will definitely look thinner after such a hefty embargo but will you feel great? Nah-uh. If you're subsisting on less than 1000 calories a day, you will be so starved you might end up taking a bite out of your own arm. Lies in her other nonsensical comments are countless but the one that had even those with absolutely no fitness or physiological expertise laughing is where she said no woman should lift more than 3 pounds, right before Gwyneth Paltrow says my one upper arm doesn't sag as much as the other because I carry my 30 pound son in it and to match the tonality of said arm to the other side, Tracy makes her twirl a 3 pound joke of a dumbbell over her head. Why doesn't she just tell Gwyneth to stop carrying her son since lifting him will make her bulk like Stallone? And GP being the idiot that she is famed to be, will most likely listen to that bullshit piece of advice TA is spouting too.

[@nonnad9210]

))) ok, i see. Definitely can agree with the first one! I havent seen her diet plan though...Well, thanks a lot! I actually do what you say now, i go to gym 3 times a week )) i stopped working out at home, because i lost my motivation.

[@Dancediva240]

Good on ya, Nonna! I got sucked into her crap a few years ago myself until I came across an article that cut through all the BS and expounded the benefits of compound exercises for all round strength and sculpting. Here's to our success. All the best to you!

[@jennterry6977]

Lol I commented here 7 years ago and can't believe I actually bought into what Bethenny was saying. Glad I have more knowledge now. Some form of movement everyday is essential to build strong muscles and bones and to stay mentally healthy. It's not just about being skinny.

[@Almamater8888]

Tracy is right on this. A person has to make the decision to get into exercise and stick with it. Those who don't because they "don't like it" or "don't like to sweat' will have to live with the results on their chosen dislikes.

[@lilyg8324]

shes is one that has the most awkward conversations with her guests.... no wonder it got cancelled.

[@donnanegri3186]

Bethenny is best on real housewives

[@Megandicks]

Bethany invites an expert on the show and she just blabs "this is how it is...blahblahblah I know more than you." While the expert is just like "Right... sure... right... right... Right... okay Bethany." Talking to a brick wall.

[@jayt4835]

As a trainer myself I 100% understand what Tracy is saying but we’re also taught how to deliver this message in a much more consumable way. Don’t be too harsh with your approach or you’ll lose the very people you want to connect with.

[@countchocula5379]

Telling people the truth, that exercising everyday is ideal for the human body is not harsh. It’s the truth. The fitness industry spreads so many lies. The truth isn’t always “easy” for people, but we should all at least know what to strive for. For me, even on days where I don’t do a full body resistance workout, I at LEAST spend an hour or more walking. You can space it out throughout the day. Invest in a rebounder so you can bounce at home. Wake up a few minutes early, go to sleep a few minutes later. In the bathroom do a few leg lifts, take two minutes in the morning to do a couple jumping jacks drop and do a minute plank here and there. We can ALL for activity into our lives and we MUST if we want to live happy and comfortable lives within our bodies. It is imperative.

[@KF-nz7cq]

What do you recommend

[@blissfulbaboon]

[@AlexandraMedina-or4vw]

[@jayt4835]

@@AlexandraMedina-or4vw It’s her tone & delivery not the message. It’s obvious that she’s being a tad aggressive. In fairness it’s probably in response to being interviewed by someone who is trying to downplay your point from the start.

[@Angellisable]

Bethenny is seriously closed minded. I doubt that if there was a PhD sitting in front of her saying the exact same things that she would argue back. Stacey is on point and professional in this conversation and as a fellow professional I agree a hundred percent her point of view

[@JameeyJ]

Bethenny is so wrong. When I used to do Cross Country in Highschool that was the best time of my life because I felt so good! I worked out 6 days a week and I was running up the stairs to class and not out of breath. I could run around a track 5 times without getting tired. Working out on a daily basis and getting used to it takes time but after a while you start to love it. It's like getting used to being away from your family when you go to college. You hate college at first because it isn't what you are used to but after a while you start to love it because you build a relationship with other people and yourself....Bethenny is very ignorant and lazy

[@curly208]

Good grief, no wonder Bethenny got cancelled. What a know-it-all. Her experience is hers alone. This disagreeable banter helps no one.

[@michellezito5542]

I have been doing Tracy's workouts for several months now...not only do I LIKE them, but I am becoming pleasantly addicted!! Haha! I enjoy exercise now and I look forward to it. I think this is a benefit of working out for some. The more you do it, the more you want to! I NEVER thought I'd say that. Bethenny should give it a shot because it could happen to her too! I'm with you, Tracy!

[@fraudi-costanzo6356]

I worked out with Tracy Anderson for a whole year, never missing a day, working out 6 days a week, one hour of cardio a day + muscle exercises. This programm gave me body dismorphia! It made me believe i HAD TO CHANGE my body type. It made me believe that only her exercises are the right ones as they are targeting the small muscle groups. It made be believe that if i missed a day i would never see results. It made me believe that lifting weight will make me look like the hulk. It made me believe i was a "skinny fat" person with fat stored in my deep tissues that could only be removed with Tracys method. It made me loose the joy i had working out! I strongly advise women (and men) and teenagers to NOT TRY it!

From what I got is that she promotes a good relationship with food and exercise. I don't like going to the gym but I have found that I love walking outside. I think it's a balance with food and finding a healthy exercise you like doing.

[@babycee303]

I spend 6 weeks in a scandanavian country and went to the gym 3 times the whole time I was there (I workout 4-6 times per week here). I went for 30-45min walks three times per week. I ate pasta, ice cream and drank juice(things i was always scarred to eat here in n.america), I came back to n. america and I put it back on as soon as I came back. my point is, when I was in europe, i enjoyed the balance, a workout was a treat, i lost weight and when im in n.america i workout 500% more and yet it wont budge

[@skylaellis]

I agree with the trainer.

[@DM61511]

For those who exercise on a regular basis and fit it into their lives like showering, eating etc.. it's not a "chore." I agree with Tracy. I workout 6 times a week and it's something that I HAVE to do, I can't live without it. For those who don't have the same perspective as Tracy, it's hard for them to keep up with a fitness regime like working out 6 days a week and stick to it because they are not use to it. Gradually increasing your workout hrs/week is better than completely negating and seeing it as a chore like Bethenny does.

[@meganbright94]

I agree with Tracy about at-home exercise, even though she didn't get to finish her sentence. I think working out at home is much less distracting. But the occasional free-week at a gym is renewing! Yoga is one of those things I enjoy in groups of people. At-home practicing is also good, I think it requires more discipline and concentration.

[@KimMcCoy]

Tracy is right. Nice that you have a genetically even body Bethenny, but 99% of people need to move...daily. Tracy, keep talking truth, and thank you. Bethenny, you're blessed. Most people have to work at it, and there's enough laziness in the USA, so people will listen to you because of your show, and you do no service by saying "you don't have to workout all the time". Bodies that move look like bodies that move.

[@pikkoro98]

I love how calm Tracey is.

[@mdoyle94]

Tracy's delivery was terrible. "You do need to be working out all the time." As someone who suffered from an eating disorder for 10+ years, I get where Bethenny is coming from. You need to have a good relationship with exercise, especially when you are prone to obsessions or body image issues. Exercise does not need to control your life.

[@cherylhickmon8573]

It wasn't terrible..it's just some people(Bethanny)needed to hear the honest truth and Tracy gave it to her and still she didn't listen

[@mcalindenger]

i kind of get what tracy is saying. if you do little and see no results then you will not do any exercise and make excuses. bethenny is very thin unlike myself and working out everyday if i can will help me to reach my goals even though im hating it it is benefiting me in the end.

[@songsaboutj]

I agree with Tracy.

[@ratulamorie5255]

You make a habit or a routine out of the things you do most often. If you work out 6 days a week, it will become a routine. And you'll find it will be easy to stay on track, even if you miss a workout here and there. Does that mean you have to go hard all 6 days? No. You can alternate between heavy and light days. Not to mention that fact that your body is designed to move. It's not meant to be sedentary. Also, not everything in life that is good for you is something that you will like or will make you happy. So I agree with Tracy. You should be working out every day or almost every day. she's a trained professional. I'll take her word over Bethenney's any day.

[@PushyMuse]

9 years later and Tracy is spot on.

[@Likaye-b9t]

I think Tracy is over the top and her workouts are ridiculous. 6 to 7 days a week is not practical. It easy for Tracy because that is all she does. I am with Bethenny on this one

[@HondaMistuV4L]

No but she is right.. for someone who wants to see a real change, in their body, their health, their energy, etc. you have to do this. At least 5 days a week

[@verydenise]

HondaMistuV4L for dramatic changes sure, but bethenny is right that most ppl will not do that. 2-3 times a week has shown vast improvement health. plus it's dumb for tracy to say YOU HAVE TO, or what? the fitness police will get you? some people are naturally thin anyway

[@HondaMistuV4L]

exactly... BUT going to the gym 5-7 times a week is not to make you thin, its to make you fit... healthy.. big difference. You can just stop eating like Bethenny and get thin.

[@cynthiaclark3140]

I think there are two teams of opinion here 1. How to get thin, and 2. how to do same but with a well rounded plan that gives you the body, the health and the ability to age really well. I do Tracy's program, and it's for those whom are very self disciplined...not for everyone. But to ignore the need for CONSISTANT exercise averaging 3x a week plus a healthy diet? Stupidity!

[@maverickred9885]

Its not just about how many days, but the intensity of the workouts; its it low to moderate or high intensity? Is the muscle overactive or is it underactive? rom? muscle test? neuromuscular control? stabilization? Proper form and/or recruitment? There is more to exercise than just exercise. Do not forget about the recovery period.

[@natskyj77]

Tracy is preaching the truth!

[@strangertobluewater]

I'm inclined to agree with Tracey. I wish she had reframed it as "Movement" vs "working out". For me, working out can mean 10 mins of yoga, walking, running a mile. It's never 60 mins of sweating it out at the gym.

The reason why they are debating is because they have different goals. Your goal should determine your actions. If you want to exercise for weight management/loss, no you don't need to do it all the time, or at all (re: Bethenny). If your goal is to achieve your healthiest self, then you need to exercise often (re: Tracy). You can do it daily/almost daily, if you pick something you enjoy, and set realistic time limits. Everyone has different priorities, and so some people will give exercise more time than others; just depends on what you want.

New respect for Tracy Anderson. She held her own with steamrolling BF, and is looking at exercise as a deep emotional and spiritual connection that maintains health. We as humans are programmed to move daily, to maintain cognitive ability, mobility, and health. BF has also said she “sleeps when she can” vs the philosophy of maintaining daily, healthy food habits.

[@futurehotchickin2009]

Tracy FINALLY told Bethenny the truth...."You're genetically blessed". Being 35 lbs heavier than around 120 lbs. at 5'7" is NOT FAT!! It actually falls within the healthy weight range.

[@Immaculately.vibing]

yeah, I feel like they could have both addressed the fact that there are more options that just running and the gym to workout, that dancing and being active while having fun is an actual possibility.

[@LateNightBarFight]

Exercise is crucial to health, but what people aren't understanding is that exercise is chasing your children around the park, walking up and down the stairs doing the laundry, going on a hike with your dog. Being ACTIVE is crucial, working out in a gym for a set time every day is NOT. Period. The most physically fit people don't even step foot in a gym, I know, I live in California and have may friends who are surfers, rock-climbers and hikers. They never go in a gym and they never exercise like it's a chose, they're just physically active. Be physically active, don't sit around in front of the television eaten Bon Bons. So I disagree with the trainer here. I don't do any form of traditional exercise, i.e go to the gym and get on the treadmill like a robot or some shit. I go hiking, I go swimming, I just do fun things that are physical.

[@YasFlowers]

Bethany is wrong for sure. Why is she fighting with a trainer that has actually studied the body and about diets. Its her job, not for fun or personal development. God Bethany you are obviously not educated so stop acting like you are. You are lucky, there is a difference.

[@patty-cf7jj]

I seem to be the only one here who agrees with Bethenny. I know what she’s saying. If you set the bar that you need to work out hard every day, it can backfire. Many can’t live up to that and then give up completely. It’s better to work out a few days a week than not at all. The only way I became consistent and rarely miss a day is that whenever I didn’t feel like working out I would decide to just take a leisurely walk on my treadmill. But once I started I would feel more motivated and start increasing the intensity. But if I thought every morning in advance that I would have to knock myself out that day I would dread it and hate it and become miserable and probably skip it.

[@evie6811]

I agree with Tracy Anderson hands down. If everyone had the attitude that they don't want to do things consistently just because they don't enjoy them can you image the state our world would be in?!?!

Bethany walks a lot more than most. Living in NYC you get excersize daily by walking everywhere. Not a ton of over weight people in NYC. BF might not realize it, but she works out much more then she thinks. Not a bad thing at all. With her diet and a ton of walking no wonder she is so thin. Plus she has a tremendous amount of energy and works like crazy. She probably doesn't have time or patience to do a workout. Considering her fast paced life. They are both right. Just different POV and lifestyles.

I agree with Bethany we don't need to work out everyday...but try to keep an active lifestyle. The most important thing is what you put it your mouth. There is little point to eat a bunch of meat or other junk food then go to the gym. Eat well and be active!

[@izabelao.3955]

Plus, some people really don't have the time to work out every single day. There are days when I wake up at 3am to go to work, and then I finish at 2pm. That's 11 hours of walking, running, having to carry heavy boxes. Really, the last thing I wanna do after a shift like this is to work out.

[@HondaMistuV4L]

yes but you are missing out on Tracy's point... If you want to make and feel a change.. etc. etc.. re-listen to what she says

[@katherineelizabethco]

At the end of your life will you say '' I enjoyed exercising everyday. '' ? If you can say '' yes'', then great; you spent time and energy doing something of value. On the other hand, if you didn't enjoy exercising, then it was a waste of your precious time here on this planet.

[@katherineelizabethco]

Are you mocking me ? I hope not. My response is about exercise, not necessary bodily functions. You were probably just kidding me, yes ?

[@katherineelizabethco]

This reminds me of the man who says, " If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. '' The body, mind and soul all require maintenance, along with our relationships with family and friends. Life is maintenance ! Never Give Up.

[@niharikajaisudan]

i totally agree with tracy. people who have lot of weight to lose need to workout daily to see results compared to people who are in their ideal weight..tracy's method is easy to follow and hard to continue till forever but it works.. and we have to make a strict habit of eating less quantity of everything.

[@plumariastore]

What a amazing debate! We can see both arguments and see where they come from... Both have good points and we can analyze what's best for each one of us :D

[@alyssalove7698]

Bethenny rejects the discipline in the training so her mindset doesn;t transform along with her body. The muscles tighten but the attitude remains flaccid. Most annoying for personal trainers to deal with.

[@Facelessentertainmentlg]

I have tried working out daily.. back in 2009 I worked out faithfully 4 times a week and when I tried doing more, I actually did not feel good... my body would give out.. and now I do 3 to 4 times and I feel fine.... I have maintained, gained and lost... I just do not agree with either one... I think there is NO one way, it is about what works for the individual

[@khandibaugh23]

People think exercise is a bad word. Exercise can be playing volleyball or tennis. Exercise can be a 15 minute walk etc.

[@girlchasingdreams]

I heard Bethany say 'I this' and 'I that' so many times (Does she ever stop talking?) that by the end I didn't really care what she was saying. I found her attitude to be very negative and condescending. Aside from that, I don't think her argument holds much significance. I mean, nobody really WANTS to work out! People do it because it's good for them and makes them feel good don't they? I think Tracy seems genuine. She spoke in a focused and logical way and what she said made sense to me.

[@TheAvgWoman]

Expert vs. a person who just talks a lot. I'll lean in with the person who actually knows what they're talking about...

[@BraBaBe]

I think Bethenny shouldve let her give the advice, she's not the expert...

[@johniii8147]

No wonder Madonna dumped Traci. She's not right. Her own issues are coming out.

[@allgonewaxing4158]

Tracey rocks you must workout every day ! I'm 57 I don't diet but workout 6 days a week and I look and feel better than when I was 30

[@DeaLenihan]

A personal trainer's LIFE is working out. It is all they think about. Normal people that don't do this for a job should not be guilted into working out more than they want to.

[@NonieDeLong]

Muscles atrophy as we age. Forget weight. Do you want to be able to move in old age? Then you need to move. This type is daily but slow, heavy lifting plus walking or swimming or sport is also good for muscle health, mobility, and bone density. Nutritionist here and I think diet has to be addressed. I don't care what we call it. What we put in our mouths day in day out shapes our health incredibly. Learning healthy meals you love is life changing!

[@Fawn123]

Just wait and see what they both look like at 80 and you’ll see who’s right. You need to exercise whether you’re skinny or not. Exercise is not all about losing weight, it’s also for building muscle, which is super important, ESPECIALLY for a skinny person. I used to think I didn’t have to exercise either, and didn’t have a good relationship with it too, but I’m glad I grew out of that ignorance.

[@MelissaRae1975]

I do appreciate the open talk they are having though. Its nice to see reality at its best

[@jamespark4053]

Not everyone is the same. Eating is not good for me because I used to eat over 40,000 calories. If you workout, you should give it your best but if you are going to run for 10 minutes. What are you doing with your life? NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME....

[@niharikajaisudan]

if anyone remembers how we used to skip meals in anger because we were mad at our parents or something like that.. its all in our mind, we have to make up our mind to eat less quantity everytime we eat anything and exercise and forget about it till next day...

[@kimdelk1181]

tracy anderson has to say u need to work out everyday b/c she's built her business and life around fitness. in an ideal world, everyone should workout everyday. for the average too-busy american doing what u can and what fits in with ur lifestyle is better than nothing. so i think bethenny has a point. there is a point where u can stop altogether exercising when its becomes like a chore or feel run-down and u shouldnt get to that point.

[@aliciabiatch]

It's not about being lazy, it's about what ones individual goals are. If you're content with working out at your own pace while eating healthy, then that's totally fine because it works for you. If people want to adopt the lifestyle of working out all of the time while eating healthy, that's fine for them too. Some people may not be ready for it. To call them lazy is IGNORANT. I totally get where Bethenny is coming from. I started working out and did it constantly and began to hate it and it did feel like a chore. You have to do what's best for you and your body.

[@MsCaliforniaOne]

Now, let's talk about cheek implants and joker smiles!

[@kallybloome]

Team Tracy on this one 👍

[@ComplexionSalad]

lmao she stayed getting roasted on her own show

[@klimber10001]

I think this Tracy Anderson knows what she's talking about. She has made all valid points.. points I need to apply to my life.

[@natalied3347]

Her routines are garbage and over priced, but Tracy is right lol. Bethenny just talks over and argues with anyone who doesn't agree with her... she's a terrible host. Also, she's only speaking for herself, not the rest of us, because I work out almost every day and it's my favourite thing to do.

[@shannonsmith2642]

Love Tracy! She’s absolutely right and love how she doesn’t back down.

[@Sk8erBoiZach]

if Giselle (being genetically blessed) does what tracy says then ill stick to tracys idea

[@melissaculpepper7663]

Why did Bethany even have guests on her show? It seems Bethany already knows it all. She claimed to want to “have a conversation” but then proceeded to talk about what SHE wanted or didn’t want. Allow the viewers to glean from both approaches/philosophies. Be a gracious host and allow your guest to speak and flesh out their viewpoint.

Disease is not cured by exercise: when a patient becomes ill he is put to bed to conserve energy for fighting the disease. Tuberculosis was conquered by bed-rest and not by jogging. - Broda Barnes

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

I totally get what Bethenny is saying. I think it all depends on how much you really like or dislike working out

[@May17760]

She interrupted her guest way too much. Tracy is a trainer for fucks sake, Bethany is not. I'm pretty convinced she knows tons more about diet, exercise and the body than Bethany. Bethany needs to stop pretending she knows what she is talking about and let her guest get her professional opinion across, for she is talking to a TRAINER, who does this as a CAREER.
