I hear Joe Wicks was back again this week.
You know?
The Bodycoach.
Yeah HIM.
He has that new programme on TV.
Now I didn’t watch it myself. But while I was scrolling through the old Facebook the other day searching for dancing cat videos… I witnessed various comments about the new superstar vs controversial figure.
Always worth a laugh.
You may of remembered.
I expressed my opinion of Joe, The Bodycoach, a good few months back.
And you know me – I’ll be honest…
..I’m still on the wooden fence with splinters in my arse about Mr Wicks.
Meaning I’m 50/50 about it all.
I mean.
Yeah he has helped people get fit with his short workouts and quick healthy meals.
But something doesn’t quite work for me.
And I’m not on about that annoying loud voice.
No.
Whenever someone new approaches me I simply ask them “what have you tried already?”
And after we trawl through the endless methods and diets. We often find The Bodycoach approach on that list.
I get it.
It’s a cheap option.
And his marketing team do a GREAT job.
But.
As much as it works for some, it doesn’t work for most.
Falling foul to that old chestnut of:
Buy CHEAP and pay TWICE.
Leaving them back at square one and even more disillusioned than EVER about getting back into shape.
You know the sort, right?
Always going from:
- Method to Method
- Diet to Diet
- Trainer to Trainer
- Fitness DVD to Fitness DVD
- 9 Day Detox to Cling-Film Wrap Procedures!!
Cling-Film Wraps???
***WTF***
It’s REAL!!
Yes.
I’ve seen it all.
Which is a BIG shame.
As we ALL have potential to have what we want.
But.
I think I’ve finally worked it out.
There is NO education behind these approaches.
Which for me is half the battle.
The TRUTH is…
..people can get results with pretty much any method.
(read that again)
But if you want longer-term transformation rather than a short-term… ..and TEMPORARY ‘quick-fix’.
Then UNDERSTANDING is important.
Now it’s fair to say. That when people are TOLD what TO do, they may do it. But. They’ll slip up at some point.
And without the right SUPPORT and MOTIVATION around them.
The likelihood is they’ll fall back to where they started.
Or WORSE!
Feeling overweight, miserable and lacking energy.
Why?
Because they NEVER understood WHY they were doing it!
Which normally means…
IT WASN’T FUN!!
Because if you ENJOY something.
You’ll want to learn about it, right?
Which is why I created my Healthformation Programme.
It has a FUN approach.
Understanding comes from CREATING new habits…
..and then habits are FORMED by getting a better understanding.
And when THAT gap closes, you start to achieve long-term success.
But it can work both ways.
You can get a bad understanding from bad information.
And I experienced this the other day.
I came across an article stating that eggs are bad for you.
Yes my chicken!! 🙂
That ‘old’ eggs have fat in thing.
When I read this, my eyes slightly widened and my jaw.
Well.
Let’s just say it hit the floor.
Seriously though. Do people still not know fat is not why people get fat???
Don’t worry – I get it.
But.
There was another thing…
..Apparently eggs are bad for you because they have no fibre in.
Really?
I’d LOVE to meet this guy.
I can’t wait to ask him about the fibre content in lean healthy meat.
You know that good-source-of-protein-stuff that helps you burn body fat.
I’d call him a MORON here…
..but I won’t 😉
Anyway…
At least the Bodycoach is getting people to eat healthy fats.
He often uses the term “FAT ME UP”
Good man!!
Although that doesn’t really give people an UNDERSTANDING of WHY they should eat fatty foods.
But at least I know my Healthformation Programme does 🙂
Well.
I hope this hasn’t caused you anymore confusion in the health and fitness world.
But if it has.
Then feel free to reach out and shoot me an email.
One of my core values is health, so I’d love to help you out.
That’s what I LOVE!!
And I always respond back to ALL emails.
