Let’s get real!
Would you allow me, this month dearest readers, to let off steam and also make a few salient points regarding the media and their take on ‘wellness’ today? Whenever you read an article in your daily paper, or watch a TV ‘reality programme’ please remember this: they love NEWS in the truest sense of the word, of any description, and this news has to be an attention grabber or wesupposedly either won’t watch, (TV), or won’t buy (the papers). So far as ‘celebrity stories’ go, it is for them to sue when the media defame them, but when they get it oh-so wrong regarding health and fitness, this Cat roars! (Well, she wants to)! A while ago I was e-mailing the trainers of a certain TV programme, (let’s call it “The Biggest Abusers” – strangely appropriate!). It’s put Personal Training and modern Bootcamps back by about 15 years. Well gone are the days of ‘shouting reps’ and bullying clients (if we ever did?). Quality fitness training nowadays should EDUCATE first and foremost, in all areas of health: fitness, AND clean nutrition, and to receptive clients who are prepared to embrace changes, this can change their lives forever. There are plenty of well qualified fitness trainers in this area who would never dream of needing to administer oxygen because they’ve over-beasted a client in a fitness class, or to play silly mind games forcing you to over-eat chocolate! (if you have no idea what I am talking about just trust me on this matter, it is truly ridiculous TV!). I fully realise you’ll see through most of the hype, but just a 2% belief in any of it might be dangerous! And as to many ‘diets’…. Don’t get me started!
