Hello and welcome to episode number 14 of the Bouncing Back podcast with me, James Middleton.

On today's episode, I'm going to be talking about something a little bit different compared to the previous episodes I've done. And a lot of

what I've spoken about so far on this podcast has been around mindset and personal development

and relationships and all that kind of thing, which I've really enjoyed. And I know you guys have

enjoyed as well. And the feedback's been amazing. But today today I want to delve into the fitness side of

things now I said to myself I want to strictly keep this podcast non-fitness related because I spend

my whole life talking about fitness but actually I had a lot of requests from people from yourselves asking me if I could do something on fitness

just to kind of have out there and something that you can listen to in depth and really learn about

So what I want to do is uncover some of the truths in the fitness industry and I'm kind of put the world right because I think

it's incredibly important and probably very useful for a lot of you listening today. So take this

episode as almost like a mini fitness Bible, a myth-busting fitness Bible. And I think once you finish

listening to this episode, you'll be able to walk away with a lot of nuggets of information, factual information, that hopefully will not only help yourself, but you can then tell other people, your friends, your family, you can share this episode with these people and tell them, look, this is the hard truths.

And this kind of thing I wish I listened to not just at the beginning of my coaching

career but also when I was 1617 and properly training because it would have helped me prevent
