Instagram selling false hope on what it takes to be fit
Instagram: A place where athletes share photos of themselves with supplements claiming this is how they got/stay fit. In turn every person who doesn't understand what it takes to get fit buys this "one stop solution". Half the people you see pushing Shredz for example didn't get that way by taking off the shelf supplements. They've spent hours in the gym, made healthy choices with diet and guaranteed they have a number of cycles under their belts.
It sells false hope to these people who need to be educated on what it really takes to become fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Let alone why don't these athletes share how they really got the way they did, education is what the rest of the population needs to become healthy. Granted gear usage would get a little flack but hey if it works it works! Rant over

Don't even get me started on personal trainers - there should be a rule that you have to at least look the part to play the part. I'm sorry but if your client is almost in better shape than you are that's not ok.
But in general it's just sad that the majority of the population falls for these schemes. People quit after not seeing results in less than 6 wks. It totally needs to come down to education - obesity is a legit problem in the health care system. Which could largely be solved on the proper education of health and fitness, which should be started at a young age. It is currently mostly on parents to educate their children on this matter however what about those children who are born into families who don't care about health and fitness? How are they supposed to learn? I legit think lifestyle and health and fitness should be added into the curriculum throughout the school program. This is a far more useful skill than half the stuff I was taught.
this isn't just an instagram issue.. go look at any muscle and fitness mag... same thing with the commercials for fat burners, info mercials for work outs etc etc etc.. caveat emptor
What kills me is seeing people competing once and then all of a sudden they in their bio it's like "for online diet and training programs contact me!!!!!" Now everyone's qualified to be "coaching" other people. Don't get me wrong everyone has to start somewhere, but in Some cases it's like the blind leading the blind lol.
I completely agree and I think this goes along with pro athletes who are coaches as well. if you are coaching someone but can't bring your own physique to the stage on your own then maybe you shouldn't be coaching others. what works for one person isn't going to work for someone else...there is a lot more time, effort, and science behind being in shape
bigwillyDon't you love it. God bless the dumb girl that sends have nude photos to a guy 4 states away to see her progress, hahahahahaha. ( her coach ) lol.
more like her smooth talking pervert. That shit is out of control on face book. Just like with anything in this life there's always dirt bags looking to cash in or take advantage of dumb girls and ignorant kids.
Wait... you mean those naked photos of me eating a banana that the online coach told me to send AREN'T going to help me get fit? Damn it! :(
hahaha wait but "my coach is asking to see glute & ham tie in progress a lot lately hmmm"
Any sponsored athlete that admits to steroid use is a retard.Guy's that know,KNOW so why is it people need to hear them say it?So they can make the excuse of why they don't look that way?Or discredit all the individuals work...because that's exactly what happens when guy's mention they use gear All of a sudden their handwork vanishes and all the idiots see is gear.
Eventually they wake up and end up here.
