Summary
This week, we’re exposing ourselves by ranking the worst health and fitness trends we’ve ever fallen for. Some were popular, some were personal, and all of them were either misguided, unnecessary, or straight-up harmful. From raw vegan diets to daily HIIT classes to chewing gum instead of eating, we’re breaking down what we tried, what went wrong, and how cringe it really was. We’re giving each one a 1 to 10 cringe rating, sharing whether we’re still tempted, and deciding once and for all if we’d ever go back. If you’ve ever gotten caught up in wellness hype or made questionable choices in the name of health, you’re not alone. This one’s for you.

| 0:05.3 | exposing ourselves with the worst health and fitness trends. We both have personally tried, and we're |
| 0:11.5 | going to rank them 1 through 10 based off of how cringe they are. I don't know. I feel like I'm |
| 0:17.1 | going to win on the cringe scale, but we shall see, like, anything is on the table. |
| 0:23.1 | So I'm really excited. And neither of us know what the other is going to say. I feel like we might |

| 1:11.7 | a shout out to the sponsor of today's episode are homies over at Legion Athletics, who are the gold |
