Stop Copying Fitness Influencers: How to Vet Any Workout (Dose, Direction, Downside)

Stop Copying Fitness Influencers: How to Vet Any Workout (Dose, Direction, Downside)

It’s a bad idea to treat your favorite fitness influencer’s workout like it’s a full program. Not because they’re always wrong, but because “looks legit” is not the same as “will work for you.” In this episode I break down why credentials, confidence, and aesthetics can trick your brain, and I share the simple filter to keep you from getting finessed.

We use a clean test to judge any workout you see online: Dose (what you can do, how much, how often), Direction (what should change week to week and month to month), and Downside (who should not do it, what it risks, what it costs). If the post cannot give you all three, it’s content, not coaching.
