    agreed big time

    except for nutritional info. Our food is not near the quality it once was


    Amen to that. I thought eating healthy would do the trick. I only ate 1200 calories or less, and now I eat at least 1800 and I'm losing weight.

    Sure, what works 40 years ago will still work now. But it may well be that the WHY it works is now much better understood, to the point that what 'worked' 40 years ago isn't considered very good now, or may even be considered dangerous.


    Also, errr....
    consider the source. If they don't look healthy they have no place giving fitness advice.
    While I could 'look' more 'healthy' myself, your profile picture to me suggests you look over-fat and I don't see significant muscle behind that.
    Should I/we thus ignore your initial post from that?

    And I submit this: If 2 personal trainers say: "I can make you fit" and one looks like Jabba the Hutt and the second looks like Henry Cavill- who are you going to hire?

    Depends. Does Henry Cavill have his shirt off? :blushing:

    But really, I wouldn't hire either because I'm poor.

    I would hire him...doesn't matter what for as long as he looks like that. He could be crap at the job too, I'd still keep him around.

    from people who are more out of shape than me...

    In today's; "I read it on the internet so it must be right" trend, everyone is a fitness expert and I get sick of people that don't even work out (or do so once in a while) trying to tell me what's best for my workout or physical appearance.

    The truth is this; the FACTS about exercise, nutrition, metabolism, calories etc. Never change. The fads are based purely on misinformation and are intended more on commercialism than health. I have been exercising regularly since I was 14. I've seen trends come and go and they are all the same: "This is the NEW way to lose weight, get healthy, eat right etc."

    There is no "NEW" way. Body physiology does not change with the times. What worked 30 years ago, still works today. What worked 100 years ago still works today. When you get advice from someone- consider the source. If they don't look healthy they have no place giving fitness advice.

    And if you get your "facts" from the internet, back them up with at least 3 other sources. You will often find that the article you read is very one-sided and is not based on anything but anecdotal evidence- which is always flawed.

    Aside from all of this.... everyone has a unique structure... though we are all human.. our DNA is slightly different from every other person... you have to experiment with your body and do what gets YOU the optimal results.. what works for one very well may not work for another so well... plus it depends on nutrition... all fitness results depend on nutrition... I say experiment with fitness just like people experiment with different diets... soooooo yeah... and I wouldn't take advice from anyone who doesn't PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH... EVER lol.

    I suppose you wouldn't take fitness advice from a cat, either. But look at this guy. Primo physique. DYEA? (Do you even agility?)

    I was shocked at the lack of cat gifs, here.
    I love this cat.
