With our roadmap out of lockdown here in the UK being announced, we wanted to discuss our perspective on the best methods to move towards being healthier and fitter, and what are the pitfalls to avoid.

Today we delve into the complicated subject of health and weight within the UK - the UK government have long debated the introduction of a 'sugar tax' to combat the obesity epidemic. We disagree with such measures and think the issue is far more complex and nuanced and require much more to be done. For example giving better emotional support and advice to children and young adults.

Welcome to Episode 7 of 'This'! Back into lockdown once again, we discuss how we are adapting to the current environment, and our approach both with our own training, and with our clients. In today's episode we focus on social media, how our use of social media is changing, and why we don't promote before and after pictures at Train MBS.

Today we dive into a wild discussion on the world of conspiracy theories!! We talk about conspiracies that have been proven to be true, the classics, UFO's to big foot and then the truly strange to the downright dangerous beliefs that people get caught by.

Oft. Today we got right into a discussion on weight, obesity and it's impact on overall health. In the news: Lizzo has decided to lose some weight... and now is getting fit-shamed. We give our honest, raw perspective on fit shaming, fat shaming, and healthy at any size... There may be one or two disclaimers in the video (that's an understatement there may be 5 to 6 in one sentence), but to be clear here, we have never, and will never condone shaming anyone, whatever the circumstances - at the same time, we're not going to shy away from the facts of medical science when it comes to obesity and those health implications. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? We want to hear from you! We already mentioned we are happy to debate - or answer any questions or comments on this subject!

In today's episode we explore how to become more motivated to workout, and also discuss our approach with clients looking to make exercise a more consistent part of their lifestyle. We also touch upon mindset and bringing more 'play' into your life with movement. Enjoy! And if you have any questions for us for future episodes we would love to hear them!

A truly packed episode... a microphone (big time now - we'll figure out the volume for next week), Gym shark, fake natty's, managing social anxiety, staying on track over lockdown, anti-vaccers, and more!
