But as someone who was personal trainer/ fitness group instructor who’s into fitness and bodybuilding. Those shows are realistic. Fitness models and people with the idea fitness body. This is how it is. It’s a lifestyle. If you want that amazing body, you have to workout. Keyword work. It’s not easy or fun. You have to be a little insane (good insanity) to get and keep that insanely good looking body. People who want a “fun, stress free, I’m sweating a little” aren’t going to lose weight and keep it off. That’s why people are fat or overweight. Thats why you hear so many people who want a fitness body or loss weight say they tried everything. But exercising. Or are frustrated when they can’t lose weight or keep it off. That’s why people who comfortably workout and have fun stay fat or can’t get their idea body and give up. Walking 30 minutes slowly on a treadmill, lifting super light weight, a light circuit training (which I use to teach, but I did none of that stupid stuff) and doing Zumba a couple times a week is going to do nothing to get that goal body. It’s just to take your money and make you feel good and like you did a workout. If you look online at any video if Zumba, or health club CrossFit classes, most of not all the people there are overweight and they stay that way. It takes way more. It’s not easy and it doesn’t get easier. The difference is, it take years to get into this lifestyle. So the crazy becomes the norm. I started working out for bodybuilding when I was 13. I was getting a little cubby.. But loved the gym. I’m 34 now. I’m a fitness model But if I was to just started working out today, I would feel the same way as the average person, because It is hard. And I would still be cubby with little muscle mass. Like the average guy. Working at many fitness clubs. Average people who “workout at a the fitness club are usually average looking and the average body is fat, cubby, or skinny fat. There’s nothing wrong with that. But they want a fitness model body without doing what it takes to get there. I’ve seen people come in and do light workouts for years and stay the same. But when put them through what I go through. They can’t do it. These shows are a more extreme version of what people who have the unattainable bodies go throw. But It takes years and insanely hard work. But they want those results in months. I understand. Working out sucks for a lot of people with amazing bodies. Even it’s sucks for me some days. It’s not fun. But they do it because of the results, how it makes me feel and to be healthy. If you want a super fit body (no one works out to just look ok), but want to do it the fun, enjoyable, easy way and keep that body.. That’s not going to happen. That’s why a lot of people can’t and won’t do it. I feel like I suck a lot at the gym and when I do intense workouts for bodybuilding. And when my coach tells me I’m doing great and I know he’s lying. I call him out. Most trainers at big box gym know they’re clients are sucking and not putting in there all. But wouldn’t dear tell them that. They would tell them how awesome their doing.. just to get their money. I’ve seen many trainers with fat clients they’ve been training for years and there’s no difference. But the client feels good and like they’re making progress. I had to stop training people for that reason. For me, some days I feel like I’m going to die. But I have a goal and I want that look. Also it’s part of the lifestyle I enjoy. It’s crazy.. but it’s amazing, and fun seeing how I can manipulate my body to make it look the way I want. So the show is just a sped up version of what people with super fit bodies go through. But you learn it in a healthier realistic way to handle it. The p.c thing is There’s nothing wrong with being cubby, a little fat, or skinny fat.. as long as you have self love and stay active. Which is very true. But to be real. if there was a pill that could instantly give us that a super hero, celebrity body.. most people would take it. But it takes years of hard work. Really hard work. And most don’t want to do it. And I understand.

I agree! If you want to have a healthy positive relationship with exercise, it should be a reward in itself. Otherwise the motivation for exercising won't be enough to want to keep at it

[@bantakkor8039]

Swimming. Much easier on the joints if someone has overweight. Pure muscle exercise as you have to overcome to higher density of the water while moving inside, and the bigger you are the more calories are burned for thermal use to heat your body up. Obese people are just to be sent swimming and moving/playing around while their body (obviously excluding the head) is under water, combined with healthy nutrition and caloric deficite (not to big of a deficite to prevent hunger attacks) until they reach a size where they can walk for about 1h straight at a medium pace, from there on you gradually add more walking to the swimming routine until you reach the ability to easily manage about at least 2-3 hours (without break) per day for a month. And add some easy exercise for the upper body. If the weight is appropriately reduced to allow for more intensive training without risking injuries, proceed. It's a slow process, but you don't want to risk to bust a clients joints and cripple them... if you throw an ant from a table it survives easily, if an elephant falls the same height it might break its legs. People need to lose weight BEFORE they can really train hard.

@@lok777 Looks like youtube shadow-deleted your comment, but I'll respond to what I can see of it in my notifications. From the way you talk about it, food obviously has never been a struggle for you. It's easy to pat yourself on the back for something that has never been a challenge. I can just as easily say "how can people drink this much? I couldn't do it even if I tried," or "how do people waste all their time gambling? those slot machines bore me to tears!" I could brag about how "disciplined" I am never to have fallen into an alcohol or gambling addiction. In reality, I was never at risk. I've never _had_ to apply discipline to keep myself from binge drinking or gambling, as they are things I've simply never had a desire to do -- just as you have never had to apply discipline to stop yourself from binge eating. Every one of us has their vices, and those whose vices are more outwardly visible aren't lesser people because of it. And I do mean everyone -- one of yours, for example, is tearing other people down to feel better about yourself.

probably because you slowly edged up your muscle weight. The two times I went to lose, I didn't pound hard, but I always got heavier before I got lighter. Mostly my thighs and butt would beef up a little, and then the muscle mass started working on the fat reserves. So you GAIN for a week or two before it starts to come off. After a month, you get to a happy melt and you look different but weigh the same...then it starts to come off. It is nonsense to try and lose 100 pounds in 13 weeks.

I can personally relate with this. I was 18 and was overweight and my father made me join a gym and trainer asked me do strenuous cardio on day 1 and I was a couch potato who never did any exercise or played any serious sports. I failed to do even 2 minutes of that cardio , though I was asked to do 25 minutes. My father was disappointed by me , I too was embarrassined and trained had a haughty smile. I couldn't do that cardio and left the gym after three days because my experience was so bad and at home my father scolded me and said I will not amount to anything in life. I was 18 then and thought at that time that adults know how world works and know their stuff. I blamed myself and thought something was wrong with me and maybe I was not masculine enough. Today I realised that gym trainer was total noob who had no idea about human psychology and physiology, he was a gym bro with big muscles but limited intelligence. It was not my fault. With right information I lost weight and today I no longer listen to any Gym Bro . They say you need X grams of protein, Y number of reps and blah blah. All that is BS. Consistency is the key all else is BS. And you will only be consistent if you go easy and don't torture yourself in diet or exercise. Sometimes you have to be hard on yourself but 95% be easy. Easy does it. Just be consistent. And don't be like my loving but misinformed parents who still think that you lose weight by doing cardio.

The “obesity crisis” is why more attention needs to be given to mental health. Rather than life coaches, nutritionalists, personal trainers etc., the approach should be more psychology-oriented. It is about completely changing their relationship with food. They eat to feel good, and they need to take an approach where the desire to feel good via good health exceeds the desire to simply feel good by eating. Food is just one of little bit of the journey to feeling good.

All of these are "attempting to better themselves". "so it's not fair to judge off appearances imo.

So this young woman was bullied so much that she was pulled from school. And their way of "motivating" her was to keep telling her what a loser she is, saying stuff like "do you want to stay fat?" She worked a lot but even when she was making progress, it wasn't enough. This is weightloss TV, so of course you can't have people telling her that she has worth, and encouraging her and recognizing all her effort and work. Instead, the mean, hardass trainer claims that she just isn't taking it seriously enough. I guess their quota for demeaning comments for the episode wasn't filled yet. I absolutely hate this sort of crap. Who is it supposed to inspire, anyway? If I didn't learn to love working out on my own, this (and The Biggest Loser) would convince me I could never do it, that it's always torture. And while the accomplishment was amazing, it was only framed as a way for her to stop being the loser and go back to school as the skinny hottie, and show everyone! Because (repeat after me) _weight defines your worth!_ This was such a great opportunity to talk about self image, self love, bullying and how support and the right attitude can make all the difference.

This show makes me so f**king sad. I grew up kayaking and hiking and biking and rock climbing and swimming on the regular.

I have ALWAYS enjoyed exercise and it has become a coping mechanism for me when I'm going through a hard time. I feel like this is how everyone is supposed to view exercise and it hurts my heart so many have this torture as the idea of what exercise looks like. It really hurts my soul to see this. WHY?? WHY DO THEY WANT PEOPLE TO THINK WEIGHT LOSS IS INCREDIBLY HARD AND YOU HAVE TO SUFFER FOR IT?? WHY??? I want nothing more than to take everyone who was brainwashed into feeling this way kayaking. It is the best and most fun thing. I literally don't believe there is a single person out there who would not absolutely love kayaking. I want nothing more than to share my love of these things with people and show people exercise is fun! So you would think especially a personal trainer like the personal trainer in the show would be that and would want his clients to have fun while getting in shape and show them it doesn't have to be suffering.

[@Itried20takennames]

I know they do it for the drama, but the message that “weight loss means hours of exercise until you sob” is a terrible and false message. The reality is that for most people, particularly if fairly overweight, exercise is a minor component compared to portion/calorie control. There is tons of research on this, but the best evidence is that it takes 45 minutes on a treadmill to lose 200 calories, and a few gulps of soda in a minute to gain it back - food is just so calorie dense that unless you are an avid runner, it has little impact, and none of you “treat” yourself because you worked out.

[@TaeThei]

Depends on the food though. You can eat light food that is just as fulfiling and even more refreshing. Also cutting on sugar allows the lipase to work better in brealing down fats to be used for energy. Exercise is still a major component of weight loss, especially if youre muscle building which burns more fat

[@ハーフ-r1m]

Diet is 80%, no 90% if you're seriously overweight and trying to lose weight. You can't really exercise much if your mobility is low so it's important to do light exercise to improve mobility. Dieting doesn't have to be super extreme either, just try to manage your calories throughout the day eating foods that are not too calorie dense so you can fill up without having to eat as many calories. An important thing to do is to stay at a slight deficit but not completely starve yourself. It's almost better to lose weight more slowly so you don't rebound super bad. Thanks to the internet now there are plenty of great recipes online that can seriously help with weight loss and such.

This video breaks my heart. My friends and I at that age were dancing and running and playing to keep in shape. No one should be treated like that, let alone kids. A calorie deficit can be achieved through diet, anyway, exercise is just accelerating the process. A really competent fitness instructor would know that pushing someone beyond their physical and mental capacity is the worst way. These people should be fired.

Imagine being a bunch of adults, preying on vulnerable teens and bullying them for TV. And lie about the existence of medical monitoring. Absolutely deranged.
