| 0:00.0 | What up, everybody. Welcome back to the fitness stuff for normal people podcasts. I'm Tony. |
| 0:04.8 | And I'm Mariana. And the fitness industry right now is not what it could be. It's become |
| 0:09.6 | something built on unrealistic expectations, aesthetics, and external validation, just directing |
| 0:14.0 | attention away from what actually matters. The bottom line is we're not trying to just provide |
| 0:18.6 | another fitness podcast, but completely change the fitness |
| 0:21.3 | industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and tools to give you the confidence |
| 0:25.3 | in applying the best possible training and nutrition into your own life. Where today, I'm shocked |
| 0:32.0 | it took us this long to talk about it. We're talking about social media. More specifically, |

| 1:12.8 | So today, we're going to tell you the top five types of health and fitness influencers. You should probably hit the unfollow button for. I'm shocked it only took us 80-something episodes. Now, before we get into the show, if you really like this episode or just the podcast in general, or just me or Mariana, huh, see over to spotify to apple to youtube wherever you're doing it and give us a little five star rating |
| 1:16.9 | that's what helps push this episode to more and more people if you're all around Spotify you can |
| 1:21.7 | actually hit follow so every single Monday when we come out with a new episode it'll pop right up |
| 1:26.1 | so you don't miss a day and if you want more after each each episode, you can join us on Fitness Stuff Premium for just $5 |
