There’s more bullshit in fitness than anywhere else. America’s political climate might be worse, but it’s a toss up. Whether it’s Instagram influencers trying to scam you with crappy workout programs, supplement companies hocking products that don’t work, or personal trainers upselling their 24-session training pack because “it’s going to take more than 12 sessions to undo what you’ve done to yourself,” (true story, a PT said that to a friend of mine during his consultation), fitness is a minefield.

Thanks for the great article. I will add my personal trainer saved my life undoing what arthritis and I had done to myself. Sure, maybe I could follow your advice on my own, but she was invaluable to me in explaining and correcting my movements etc, as well as throwing off mega positive vibes.
I did static stretches for nearly 15 years before my runs. Still suffered multiple injuries and a constant feeling of fatigue and tightness in my legs. I started dynamic stretching and voila! Runs are so much more enjoyable now. Thanks for spreading the good word, Scott!
Thanks Scott for your article. I am 55 and have enjoyed physical activity since childhood. Another myth is that fitness and physical activity for enjoyment is for the young. There’s no better way than physical activity and fitness to feel good in one’s skin.

Great article!
I wrote a similar article a couple of weeks ago. Let's keep spreading the word!
