Saying that you should reduce cortisol to zero is like saying that you should reduce estrogen to zero. The body can suffer from excess in any area but it's also not made to function with literally zero of anything that you find in a normal human body. You need some fat, some salt, and some of the hormones that, in excess, may cause you problems

Just a thought on the "middle aged women" clip, as I've seen this one do the rounds of various commentators: a lot of women who fit into that age bracket are taking those fun classes because they feel excluded from, or have had poor experiences of more traditional exercise and fitness instruction. Probably going back to PE lessons in school.

Does that fitness coach realize regardless of her views on body positivity NOT everyone NEEDS to lose weight? Is she saying ALL of her clients have a weight loss only goal for working out whether they’re 180 pounds or 95 pounds?? Either I’m crazy or she is 😅 I’m 110 pounds and typically a size 2. So this chick is saying I should only workout with weight loss in mind? I guess I should Stop working out then cause right now I do it to 1. Feel good/it’s therapeutic and as Elle Woods taught us exercise makes you less likely to off your husband when you’re happy 2. To work on building muscle /stay in shape. Someone get this chick a reality check!!

@brightknight1965 2 месяца назад

I fully support non weight loss fitness goals. They are so much more empowering and honestly more directly linked to effort than weight loss. I grew up watching my mom yo-yo diet with WW constantly and it put a lot of weird food feelings in my head. I can’t imagine how much better it would have been to grow up with a mom that was doing things like hitting weightlifting goals, running a 5k, heck even doing that high energy workout class. I would have seen a parent gaining abilities or having fun with fitness vs a mom that said mean things about her on body and commented on things I ate

I get that aesthetics is more personalized and not everyone likes the same things but the motivation of "i want to look tiny thats why i work out" is smelling" i have an ED but i dont want to admit it" to me. Fitness is NOT something you practise so that you can become tiny! That's soooo harmful way of thinking. Like...girl... No!

@Luziagz 2 месяца назад

I still have conflicting feelings about this, so I don't weight lift a lot, simple, as Justina says. But I think I feel conflicted because of the influence of diet culture etc. As a result of weigh lifting and generally working more on my upper body (and lower body!) I'm bigger, heavier and stronger than ever and that has improved my ability to do so many things. My body also looks much better than the skinny version, but if you told me this 10 years ago I'd be in horror.

@saraashkir5793 2 месяца назад

Also the fact that she said “you wouldnt think I have abs” when going out in normal clothes made me pause. I would assume someone with muscle tone is more likely to have abs than someone who just has skinny arms? So shes associating the bulk as FAT not even as muscle. When she says her arms are big she thinks of them as fat not as muscular arms which is so confusing

YES!! I am going to the gym because osteoporosis and heart disease run in my family and I turned 45 last year and have started having symptoms of perimenopause. Younger people with periods: perimenopause can start often start in your 30s, and it is NOT fun. You still get your period, PLUS menopause symptoms! Doctor said I couldn’t go on hormone therapy because I was a smoker. I already have arthritis and joint instability, eg chronic pain. So losing more mobility is a big concern, and frankly being active is extra hard for me. I quit smoking, started going to the gym, and changed my diet to fit my goals: lower protein and lower sugar and saturated fat. Yes, I am “losing weight” (slowly) but that’s not my main goal. I will note that it helps that I don’t have trouble affording particular groceries in this economy, my kids are old enough and I have enough support that I can take time away from for *hours* every week, I have a great gym that I have access to, etc

@holleyjay1122 2 месяца назад

Wow, that last girl triggered me. There is so much more to health than body size. Are there certain body sizes that are statistically more healthy, 100%, but there has to be nuance! I might be considered on the larger size of healthy, or even overweight by many in the health industry after a 20 lb weight gain as a result of an injury last year. Frustrated, I went to my doctor, a dietitian, and a PT and every single one had the same response… You have great habits, your labs look amazing, your workouts are great, and your diet is a great balance of nutrient dense food and enjoyment. It took all of them to convince me that being in a bigger body than I was used to or comfortable with didn’t mean I wasn’t healthy. I can run a 25 min 5k, I squat my body weight for reps, I have the energy to be the mom I want to be, but because society has programmed us to believe that only super thin is healthy…it’s hard to believe I can be healthy and be a size 8. Women like her are the reason it takes 3 professionals to convince me I’m ok.

i really hate the word "bulky" because isnt it just becoming more muscular? probably with an increase of bodyfat too? i hate these words because they feel patriarchal. we dont use these words for men because them having muscles is seen as a good thing, but then they use these words so negatively when it comes to women. i find it insulting as someone who wants to be muscular. i train upper body about 3-4 times a week. my shoulders and arms are pretty big, though while ive started training them less to focus on my legs since the muscles there are lacking, i still dont see the big deal. one thing i have noticed, these same women will rant about toxic body standards in society, yet say these things negatively that makes it feel like theyre saying being muscular is "bad". it also feels like theyre still promoting the skinny standard (even as a naturally very skinny woman myself) its such a toxic mindset imo. its why i deleted tiktok.

@lindsaytruax234 Месяц назад

I think it’s definitely a cultural difference. For example, I’m currently 10 months postpartum and I exercise throughout my whole pregnancy and after pregnancy it’s been pretty difficult to lose the weight and BS fit as I used to. I used to lift 200 and up to the point of me giving birth I did 5 miles. Right now I can barely do a mile emotionally or physically. back to the point my mom does not stop talking about how big I’ve gotten even though I’ve only I think I’ve only sized up two sizes so I went from 28 to I think 30 or 31. And I would say it’s definitely a cultural thing you bounce back is the thing.

@jenstang4529 Месяц назад

When I started working out 8 years ago I went to RU-vid to find workouts. I had an average to slimmer body type as that is just how I’ve always been. All the videos I saw there were pushing weight loss and I felt like these people are coaches so they must be right I will try to lose weight. I hated the exercises, and I didn’t lose any weight because I was already slim. Then I found fitness Blender and they were doing strength training, and I realized it had never occurred to me as a woman to get stronger. Only leaner, skinnier. So I researched the benefits of strength training, and I realized it would be very beneficial for me as I was already starting to have problems with arthritis. I’ve utilized fitness blender, Sydney, Cummings, and Caroline Gervin. I have been strength training along with some mild cardio for eight years now and I love it. I wish I was bulky like that one girl who was complaining ha ha but I have a very small body so I don’t tend to get a lot of mass muscle. However, I do have muscle and strength, better eating habits, better coordination, and better daily movement. This was absolutely the right choice for me as my arthritis has worsened over the years but having muscle and a strong body has helped slow this down and manage pain. So no not everybody needs to lose weight, not everybody’s goals are the same. Peoples lifestyles and health differ greatly. If I had seen a video of that lady in the beginning of my fitness journey, I would be convinced that I needed to lose weight when that was the exact opposite of what I needed. That really bothers me because that kind of misinformation is seen by people like myself who didn’t have a lot of knowledge about fitness and can send them down a track that is unhealthy and a waste of time. I’m glad I found fitness blender, Justina and all the other great influencers I did early on. I really wish there was more information for women on strength training and mobility, especially for us ladies that are getting older. I find Justina has one of the only of the few sites that talks about mobility, strength, and a realistic approach to fitness for beginners, or anyone for that matter.

You clearly triggered that last woman!!! She went into a tailspin, my goodness! And just by DARING to imagine habits, drive, or motivation that isn't solely about shrinking oneself!!! I think that says a LOT about the things she tells herself, not just her clients. Big yikes for that trainer! What a small life they must lead, to be so obsessed with shrinking themselves and everyone else. I dunno, I find joy in movement and joy in goals that enhance my life beyond just how much I weigh on a scale, but I guess that approach is UNHEALTHY?? Also, the assumption that someone who has a goal of 10 pushups must be in an ugly obese body?? It's just wild where her head went because of your post!!!

This is the first video I've watched from you and everything you said in response to that last tiktok was on point. I'm fat. But I can run a half-marathon. I have greater upper body strength than some slim people I know. I want to be healthier but struggle with keeping up healthier habits, but I also love movement (running, swimming, dancing, etc.) I'm autistic and have ADHD, so it's a real struggle. I don't need someone telling me what I need to do unless I've asked them! After a minor injury at the start of the year, it's been really hard to restart, but I'm hoping that getting back to the exercise that I love and replacing certain unhealthy foods will help me get back on track to my goals. And I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos for inspiration and tips!

Saw a few people making fun of the cardio drums videos recently and your response was exactly what mine was - looks fun and they're moving, that's a positive! I also looked it up and found a bunch of videos done by a muscled male fitness instructor with loads of energy that would clearly get you a decent cardio workout (I'd be flat out halfway through his Uptown Funk routine), and I have my suspicions as to why those videos didn't go viral as opposed to heavier, older women doing more introductory sessions. I have leg issues that get worse every so often and when I last had severe knee/hip pain that made gym sessions too painful (and also potentially very harmful) I tried out an Aquafit class and had a total blast bobbing about and waving pool noodles to music with a group with an average age of 65, would go again. It was way better for me than sitting at home as my joints and muscles were getting some resistance exercise and the water helped to support things, even if it wasn't as taxing as a 'normal' weights and cardio session. Here's to the middle aged ladies having fun.

I love these videos so much. They are all the sass and education and tea that I want in a video. 😂 I saw that Jo posted a strength training + deep core program. I commented and said: “I swear nobody knows what “deep core” is. It’s just another trendy way of saying “abs” and it’s so misleading. I seriously doubt this program focuses on pelvic floor exercises and stabilization for muscles that stabilize the spine like the multifidus, rotatores, and QL. It’s literally going to be crunches and planks and I hope someone proves me wrong. Bc this screams, “I’m an influencer and have no idea what I’m talking about.” She responded and said, “I’m a kinesiologist who had 2 pregnancies and c sections. Please don’t assume before you know just because you’ve seen other influencers doing things incorrectly. There are no crunches and planks in these workouts.” I said, “Fair enough. Though you must admit, it’s been a buzzy way to say “abs,” in the current fitness influencer space. It’s definitely misleading. Also, having children doesn’t make anyone an expert in physiology. I’ll trust your kinesiology background, but that’s as far as the trust goes.” And her minions jumped on and said I need to pray the hate out of my heart. Nobody knows what hate is anymore. Critique and criticism isn’t hate. 🤷‍♀️ I respect Jo and to be honest, I think we share a similar faith - so it’s funny when her Christian followers are praying the hate demons away. I certainly don’t hate her. I hate her branding. I do genuinely respect her for not doing the TSwift and Bey workout if her convictions are telling her not to. I wish so hard though that she was educating people correctly.

I so thoroughly enjoy these breakdowns! Re: the "middle-aged white women" one. YES...love your reminder that finding movement you enjoy is the only way you'll stick to it, AND also giving yourself allowance to give in to novelty or changing up a routine. I started working out regularly 12 years ago with walking, then I did Zumba for a bit, then a friend from that class got me into the KB class & yoga at our gym. After loving how strong I felt, it gave me the courage to join roller derby (a full-contact sport) and started weight-lifting & hiking to cross-train. After a few years of that the pandemic happened and I stopped derby, but I ramped up my hiking distances then started running & trail running. I ran 4 races last year! All this to say that keeping fitness fun, impactful, balanced & interesting is the key to longevity. It doesn't always have to be the same activity for years on end!❤️

18:37 A fitness goal can also be gaining weight in terms of gaining muscles. There are people who are underweight and search for a way to gain weight because it's so difficult for them. I remember a few years ago when I googled how to gain weight and not one result was about weight gain but only about weight loss. And also now when I search for healthy high calorie recipes I need to click through several pages until I find a healthy recipe with many calories because "being healthy" is still so much associated with weightloss and not maintaining or gaining weight.

When I was trying to find a personal trainer a couple of years ago, I was worried they would push me toward weight loss even though it wasn't my goal. I wanted to feel more physically capable but I had never been overweight. Luckily I did find a great trainer who just focuses on helping me be stronger, and through working with her, we identified things that weren't normal for me and helped me get an asthma diagnosis in my 20s. I felt extremely validated at my first check in where my trainer did ask me about my weight and took measurements. My weight hadn't changed at all but my waist and hips had lost 1-2". Her response was that it was totally normal because it meant I had likely lost fat but gained muscle. But 100% most exercise and fitness targeted toward women focuses on weight loss and there are a lot of women who don't have that goal, and personally I struggled with figuring out how to approach fitness to feel stronger and more physically capable when everything was about "lose 10lbs" or "get a snatched waist".

@Feverm00n Месяц назад

As an anorexic about to enter residential treatment (my desire for recovery in very large part motivated by my desire to learn how to lift weights and just regain strength and fitness in general), it is WILD to watch that coach cause such a commotion about the very normal take of “don’t promote exercise in an exclusively weight loss context to women.” Especially considering the health consequences of EDs & restrictive EDs in particular. For the longest time, anorexia was THE most lethal psychiatric condition until the opioid crisis nudged it out of first place.

He continued to push me to say I wanted to lose weight and when I didn't he turned aggressive and said I had given up on myself. I was like whaaaat?

I am 5'5" with naturally thick limbs, and for me if I had to choose, I would rather have a body that does what I need it to do than one that looks exactly how I want. I am trying to run a 5k under 40 minutes and do a 100 lb overhead press. I want to have the energy to play sports. I think I will probably lose weight in chasing these goals. But if this size 14 body can do all those things, okay. That's okay.

That type of workout class is what got me into fitness. Like everyone I had no idea what I was doing in the gym. I started trying out group fitness classes to see what worked for me. I ended up learning a lot about lifting and form and started training on my own but when able I still like to incorporate them. I like lifting but I also like spin classes, yoga, and functional workouts. Its great for overall fitness. For the next video saying everyone should want to lose weight, weight loss is one of my goals. However I weigh around 100 pounds, so it is not my primary goal as I only need to lose a few. Not lifting isn’t going to make me obese and lazy. But I have other goals as well. Getting a pull up, being able to run comfortably, being able to participate in active hobbies, mental health, better sleep/skin, better energy, confidence, etc. Not to mention just being able to function on my own. I don’t need to want to be a certain size to be able to do anything in my daily life that includes strength. That could be anywhere from opening a jar to picking up a sick/child or dog. I don’t care my weight when my dog has surgery and needs to be carried into the car

I can hands down say that if my coach talked to me the way the coaches did in these videos, I would LEAVE. I train powerlifting. I'm a newbie that started powerlifting last fall, and I started strength training with a barebell in 2022 so I'm a beginner. I was terrified when I first entered powerlifting because I was scared that everyone would think of me as a loser for being at a beginner's level. My trainer took me seriously from day ONE. Even if I couldn't do a bech properly, and even though my weights were and still are a lot lighter than many members in my sports club, he takes me seriously and treats me with the same respect as his more experienced athletes. Because of him I feel empowered when I go to the gym, even if I'm not as strong as everybody else. I feel motivated to get better, improve my skills and get stronger and really enjoying the process, and I'm super greatful for having him as a coach. The fact that he believes in me makes me believe in myself. I can truly say that personal trainers and the way they speak with their clients matter.

I really liked your comment on the girl who was mentioning becoming very bulky on her upper body. I loved that you mentioned how 2-3times a week for upper body is crazy and I'd like to add 2 things: 1) Totally agree that "bulky" is subjective. I'd say that still today, many people associate "bulky" with male muscle size, which a biologically born woman could likely only achieve if she either is a freak of nature or some extra juicing. 2) Another extra help she might have had is being in a caloric surplus (basically being in a bulk phase). If she were in maintenance, it would have been less likely to gain that much muscle.

@maggiemae3825 22 дня назад

As an overweight woman with many health goals which include weightloss and other things, I think that the way you talk about weight is exactly right! I have excellent blood panels, blood pressure, etc. but I'm also 33. And I think more fitness channels needs to be talking about how we can be healthy, but that maintaining health as we age is also so important! Even with those healthy panels and everything else, each year my body gets a little more stiff, I get a little more back pain, etc. And I know that it will be better in the long run to lose weight while I'm young since and while I still have those healthy blood panels, blood pressure, etc.!

I'm a person in a larger body. I occasionally get blood work done and often shock the healthcare professionals who assume I have high blood pressure, to have normal, often low, blood pressure. One professional once joked that I "had the blood pressure of a 14-year-old". I have no desire to lose weight and would prefer to lose inches by converting a lot (not all) of my hanging fat into muscle. I don't have a personal trainer, so it's largely been a slow journey, but I'm strong. I can plank for longer than my friend who's an ex-firefighter. I can squat 220lbs. I go hiking up steep mountains at least 3x a week. But I'm still quite flabby lol. And my hips have suffered because I focused more on my outer hips and glutes than my inner thighs. I'm halfway to 30 now, so it's normal the wear and tear is begining to show a bit. But I won't quit. I enjoy the workouts I have. Now that I have some sort of financial stability, my next goal is to get a gym membership that will enable me to swim. Swimming has resulted in the most loss in inches and weight maintenance for me. My journey is my own and unlike any other's journey. Do not let these fearmongering, money-hungry influencers bully you into not believing you can live a full life

All I wanna say is that I had no idea there could be other fitness goals than losing weight before I started my fitness journey. I thought it’s the nicest thing to do is to comment on people’s bodies when they lost weight and the likes… that’s what I learnt all my life before anyhow. (Cringe now) You and some other people and many discussions with trusted friends really opened my eyes and I’m so grateful for this education. I agree with some of the other comments as well, that there might be a cultural background to her thinking, and those are difficult to get rid of. Having said that my cultural background was probably more similar to hers, but one thing I find is that some people are just at different stages of their journeys and may not be ready to hear certain things, but may well be later. I’m saying this bc this has happened to me as well. I don’t think I heard a lot of things before, even thought they may have been loud, but then all of a sudden I just got it. I don’t know what it is, I guess we could all benefit from learning to be more open, tolerant, and more empathetic. Anyhow, thanks so much for all the hard work you put in to help us think and know better!
