Summary

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard - but staying true to your morals is what’s most important. Here’s the thing, at CVG we will always stand for what we find ethical, even if it means turning down an opportunity that can be beneficial for us.

This week we were meant to have a guest speaker, but after finding out certain practices that they preached we decided to say: “Thank you, no thank you. We will not amplify this voice.” The fitness world already has enough practices that don’t encourage true health, but instead glorify weight loss regardless of the repercussions it can have on your body.

Tune in to learn about the evolution of The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast, what Constantly Varied Gear stands for, why loving yourself as you are is the biggest middle finger to societal beauty standards, and why it’s so important to stand up for what you believe in.
