Ever wondered if your coach or trainer is actually helping—or just making things worse? We’re calling out the biggest red flags in coaching, from starvation diets and cookie-cutter plans to trainers who ignore your hormones, injuries, or real-life needs. But that’s just the start. We’re diving into all our top health and fitness pet peeves: why kipping before you’re strong enough leads to injury, why running is a terrible weight loss strategy, why group classes often leave women weak, and why “what works for me” isn’t a plan for everyone. If you’re tired of fitness fads, bad coaching, and family stress, you’ll find real talk, practical advice, and a few laughs right here.

| 0:00.0 | Thank you for joining Waterbreak. This episode is brought to you by Dusty Rose Tallow. |

| 0:08.5 | Hey, y'all. Welcome to Waterbreak with your host, Waterboy, Watergirl. |
| 0:13.2 | Hey, guys. It's good to be with you. You guys want to be in a conversation with us. |
| 0:16.6 | Email those. Your questions at wrenchmedia.gmail.com. Today, today's special show for you, because |
| 0:23.8 | how do I put this? This is my wife's pet peeves when it comes to, what, training, health, |
| 0:32.2 | weightlifting food, anything. Anything. Anything. Because it's our show. I can just say anything. It's a sanctioned way for me to talk about the things I can't stand. I have no pet peeves, which is probably my problem. That's not true. He has tons of pet peeves. They just don't have to do with health and fitness. Yeah, I know. Even some that do have to do with health and fitness. let's let's hop into it this is um uh I |
| 0:56.5 | think actually it's a helpful list it's not um it's things that um well let's get it okay um so the |
| 1:03.8 | no particular order I assume this is this is I mean I just I wrote him down as I thought of them |
| 1:08.8 | and I thought of a lot of them really quickly. So, for people who have coaches, who have trainers, coaches, you know, that sort of relationship or, or, a situation, you say that coaches who starve their clients are a problem. |
| 1:25.5 | Yes. |
| 1:26.1 | But isn't it part of losing weight weight not eating as much? Yeah. |
| 1:29.6 | Is it not? Aren't you supposed to starve just like a little bit? Oh my gosh. You guys, |
| 1:33.8 | this bothers me so much and it is such a problem right now. And the more I am online, you know, |
| 1:39.9 | like in the Instagram, TikTok sphere, which I've only more recently gotten on, I cannot believe |
| 1:46.8 | what I'm seeing. And that's why this was number one. This wins. So this is number one. |
| 1:50.8 | This is number one. I mean, yes. Yes, it's number one. So like, you guys, if you have a coach, |
| 1:59.8 | any coach, a nutritionist, a health coach, a trainer, somebody who peddles |
| 2:04.4 | one of those meal replacement systems like Optavia or anything, really, if your coach is like |
| 2:14.6 | having you eat any ever, I would say ever, under 1,500 calories a day, |
| 2:21.4 | they're starving you and they are doing it wrong. And I cannot believe how many women I talk to |
| 2:27.4 | who literally are like, well, my coach has me eating 1,200 calories a day because I couldn't lose weight at 1,300. And I'm just, like, floored. Like, I do get how if you are just a regular person, this isn't your job, this is not your expertise, how you might just be like, well, that makes sense. I'll just eat very, very little, and that's what I have to do to lose weight. You may not know better. Although if you've been listening to this podcast, hopefully you do. But if you're a coach, you should know better than to starve somebody for a billion different reasons. But I mean, the biggest thing is, if you have a body that can't lose weight on a really, really low calorie count, like under 1,500 calories a day, clearly something metabolically is wrong with that body that needs to be addressed. The answer is not, well, we'll just go lower, which is apparently what everybody does. Yeah. |
