LOVE when you call out the bullshit!! I was a fitness instructor and personal trainer for 28 years and am so glad that I am not in the gym environment anymore. I do miss some of the equipment etc (things that a home gym can't have), but the whole vibe at many gyms are disgusting now. Again, I 1,000% agree with your take on things!

[@JustinaErcole]

It’s hard to find a gym you vibe with for sure!

[@fitnicstudio7483]

Totally agree, left teaching at gyms in 2020 & I despair at what’s going on now, teaching for 25 years & I’m thinking of a career change for sure

[@jolothefighter]

@@fitnicstudio7483what are the main reasons youre doing this? what is wrong with the gym do you think?

[@Kathleen-qq7hn]

it is SO SO SO insidious to use sobriety as part of a fitness program! that feels like an incredibly slippery slope regarding individuals struggling with their relationship with alcohol, especially because some reputable studies suggest a connection between substance abuse and eating disorders. respect as usual for your reasoned and amazing takes, justina!

[@JustinaErcole]

100%!

"Can we stop reducing women to what their godammed body looks like, please?" Hell yeah Justina! I am with you, 100000000%

I would LOVE for you to include the misinformation around “glute shapes”… as a fitness coach that specializes in helping women overall but hugely helping them to grow their glutes there is SO MUCH misinformation being pushed around… Its not new but stuff like “workout to get rid of hip dips” etc basically people using “glute shapes” aka the natural genetic bone structure & fat distribution of an individual👀 & pushing workouts to “change” this shape… anywho I got in hot water after calling out a creator about this but it def needs to be talked about more

[@hannah-cs9xn]

yes this 100% and we’re also dangerously close to a return of the thigh gap era

[@MeeksLp]

Your content is flipping good , I’m a PT only for the last year and I want to help as many women over 40 feel good and age well I don’t bull shit my clients or claim to know everything, I learn so much from you and lately hearing my clients say things like my “ my mental health is better, I snap at my kids less, I wore a dress with out Spanx, I lifted my bike over a gate which I couldn’t do 6 months ago” makes me know I’m doing a good job Thank you Love from the UK

[@MajestyHammond]

DON"T GET ME STARTED ON THE WHOLE POV THING!!!!! 🤣😭Definitely going to check out your core video as I've been having trouble getting my mind around the whole core engagement thing lately. That swing! What is happening?!?!

[@JustinaErcole]

Hahahaha I can’t unsee the POV thing!

[@LomiHEART]

thanks girlie pop for another one of these~!!🤣🤣 Justina you are amazing! im learning so much! completely random comment, but I go twice a week to a fitness class and while the exercises are great the instructor keeps saying things like "do you feel the burn? it has to hurt to work!" or "we don't want flappy arms" or cellulite! each time I remember you and I imagine what face you'd do hearing these!lol!!

[@JustinaErcole]

Haha ohhh yes the group fitness mindset is tough with coaches.

[@violettefemme21]

One of the most interesting things from this video was how you mentioned two accounts that have blocked you. You said both pretty casually, but it was cool to see your perspective on a business account blocking you versus a personal account blocking you.

[@JustinaErcole]

It’s definitely my personal opinion, but i think businesses blocking people is a no go.

[@violettefemme21]

@@JustinaErcole I hadn't really thought about it much before! I definitely agree with you; except for obvious extremes of if people were coming and harassing others in their comments or something. But that is akin to banning someone from a brick and mortar business anyways. Which again, is an extreme and not even anywhere close to what you were doing.

[@JenVarelaR]

"My husband had to tell me to calm down". Low-key mine also gave me the side eye LMAO. Pilates arms and dancer arms would forever bother me. And to the most important question on this video: I'm Hufflepuff (no I really did the hat thing in a Comic Con and that's what came out).

[@JustinaErcole]

The shirt came off and I went feral lol

[@JenVarelaR]

@@JustinaErcole it was a collective (and understandable) reaction.

[@laurieann2714]

If you have a legit counterpoint and someone blocks you, they CLEARLY don't know what they are talking about. Kettlebells are dangerous when done improperly! I used to teach kettlebell classes and they needed to be VERY small groups or individualized. That was a cringy "swing". Also, I am now a Respiratory Therapist and when I see medical shows that clearly don't consult anyone in the medial field, i also cringe. Lol

[@JustinaErcole]

Absolutely!

[@thriftydancer2984]

Please make more of these videos. Your analysis and comment is accurate and educational. And your personality shines through them which is why I watch your videos.

Some real gems there Justina! My first reaction to the Melissa Wood Health video: “Damn, Mother Theresa has had a serious glow up!” (Is there literally nothing she can’t fix?😂). The POV lady missed such a good caption option. Really it should have been: “Is your FUPA all FUBAR?” (she can have that one for free). That kettlebell “swing” 🙀! That is so bad (not Jillian Michaels bad, but still bad).

[@JustinaErcole]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed!

Influencers that still use the spot reducing/tone your wtv in X days baffle me. Are they deluding themselves that what theyre doing is helpful? They're so adamant that how they word their ads is okay/accurate. Even when confronted in private they keep up the charade. Im always just unsure if theyre just hustling to keep up the image of their business or do they believe their BS..

[@JustinaErcole]

They’re either completely uneducated or simply don’t care.

I love this video. Might be my favorite on the channel. I have been telling hubby that I don't like certain KZbin trainers wearing skimpy sports bras and grabbing their boots in their thumbnail and have a major crush on the Swat actor and now he gives me a hard time and tells me the Swat actor has no shirt on and what's the difference 😂

[@Amy-jj8gy]

There’s also the highly likely probability that trainers/celebrities who say “I only do this” either a) don’t actually do it, or b) do much more than that one thing. How many times have you seen “Pilates arms” where you KNOW weights were involved?

[@amandabenson1793]

Thought from a fellow Ravenclaw 😊 I have a coworker who went on Ozempic last year to help with her diabetes. Her doctor started her with a low dose and took a few months to slowly increase it to the full dose. She initially did great with it but then started to have a consistently upset stomach every time she ate. It got to the point where she was afraid to eat or drink anything and wouldn’t throughout her entire workday. She eventually figured out that this started once she reached the full Ozempic dose. Her doctor took it back down to an amount she’d done well on but it’s taking her awhile to get over her fear of eating and drinking ☹️ She’s the person I now think of whenever I hear about Ozempic now

[@gemmataylor2758]

Brilliant video. I very rarely drink alcohol. Had 3 alcoholic beverages since New years Eve. But if I am honest, there is very little change! I am still knackered! Still get headaches etc. Think I just need to accept that as a 42 year old mother of 2 who works almost full time, that being tired is normal!

[@JustinaErcole]

Omg you’re doing great mama!

[@yourtanktopfriend777]

You are a delight! Thank you for calling out all of this BS.

[@shannonkirk8158]

Oh my gosh, the form one! I edited content for a health and wellness website for years, and we edged into fitness stuff a little bit (10 Yoga Poses for Relaxation, say). And once I took my fitness instructor training, looking for stock photos for these articles was the WORST THING EVER! I would have to go pages and pages deep to find someone who wasn't doing plank pose with their neck cranked all the way back or bicep curls with their shoulders in their ears. Inevitably, I'd either have to settle for terrible lighting and angle but proper form or some vague reference to the move in question. It was so painful. So, it's rampant ;)

[@Jade93972]

April Whitney is the 'petite workout girl' and tbh she really doe a good job. The advice she gives isn't specific to petite women, she just markets it as such. But she's not wrong, many petite women do believe that they need to eat in an extremely restrictive manner to loose weight and she is generally directing women in the right direction, even if she's using some dumb marketing tactics to do it.

[@JustinaErcole]

She does a good job of…lying to people through dumb marketing tactics?

[@Jade93972]

​@@JustinaErcole Sure, she does a good job of that, probably worth it though if it convinces her targeted audience of petite women to start strength training instead of starving themselves.

[@JustinaErcole]

[@amberc9053]

I remember seeing a video on tik tok from a Pilates instructor thats said the clasic "when you start doing XYZ workout and now your wsist is tighter" blurb. U mentioned that many fitnesd professionals have said that was untrue and she responded "its literal science. Try pilates"

I am SO confused on the Miley arms thing...she doesn't have muscular arms...she has slim arms. People look at a pic of her taken in a nanosecond where it looked like she had some muscles and lost their mind....Miley is a slender woman, she's not muscular like Janet Jackson back in the day. I'm SO CONFUSED.

[@JustinaErcole]

It’s because we’re back in that trendy phase of being so thin to see muscle underneath = muscular for women 🙄

[@JustinaErcole]

ALSO no shade to Miley and her arms at all!

[@MJsGuardAngel]

@@JustinaErcole it’s no shade at all, we’re simply describing her body type which a slender. She’s not muscular / jacked which is…true.

[@BrawnyKing]

It's not just the creators to blame. Even people ask stuff like: what workout should I do to get a body like ______. But, it's not that serious considering their lack of fitness knowledge. Trainers promoting the same... Not acceptable. Another superb video 👍 Touched so many important points.

Miley Cyrus has a hole in her heart. She was born with it. This means she can’t actually smoke and she can’t actually work out strenuously. This means she does what she can. I’m so tired of people arguing over what she does. I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s at a different pace than the rest of us and just because you do what she does doesn’t mean you’ll look like her.
