Summary

The fitness industry has exploded over the last few years. And with 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men in the UK deemed physically inactive and with lack of physical activity costing the NHS almost £1 billion a year, anything that encourages us to move our bodies more is certainly welcomed. But as with any booming industry, there are those who seek to exploit it which in part has led to so much confusion as well as unrealistic expectations in what we can achieve. Whether it’s that perfect six pack on magazine covers or gym instructors shouting at us for not burning off all the calories we ate over the weekend, have we taken things too far and lost sight of the purpose of exercise in the context of health and happiness? Do any of us really even understand how to exercise effectively? Joining me to help clear up some of the biggest fitness myths is Personal Trainer James Smith.

0:36.4	And one could feel great, and the other could feel that slump,

0:44.7	Zoe's research found that the change in blood sugar and blood fat levels

0:51.3	And on top of that, identical twins only share a quarter of their gut bugs,
0:55.8	despite being genetically identical.
0:58.0	So, basically, we're all different, which is what we talk about all the time in the podcast,
