I agree entirely ! I follow plenty of fitness social media's for a mixture of motivation, inspiration, tips or just liking what they post.. I know that everyone is different and sometimes those bodies are unachievable based on how my body is, and so I try not to look at them in the hope I can be just like them, but more as 'they've worked hard, I should work hard'. I have come across an image so many times that says something like 'if the bar ain't bending you're pretending' or something, which I find disheartening because I can't lift that heavy and it feels like I should be ! But then I kick myself and say 'that isn't my goal, why am I getting annoyed by it?'. Great video :D
This video carries such a great message. I worry for young teenagers that see skinny models in magazines that have been airbrushed and nipped and tucked in every way possible are going to think that they have to look like this to be attractive and accepted by the world. We're all different. All have different interests and likes/dislikes. No one should be made to feel like they need to conform to a social trend such as bodybuilding or anything in relation to this. People may think they're living a healthy lifestyle when really the immense pressure they're putting themselves under to achieve drastic goals can have quite adverse affects on their health. Just do what you love :)
Love genuine people, this just reinforces what makes a good youtube channel, transparent, helpful and sharing really key ideas to better the way we live our lives. Inspiring and honest as always. Keep up the fantastic work lads :)
You are so right!! I love to work out because it makes me feel sooo good, even if I'm tired or I'm having a day when I kinda don't feel good about my body. After my workouts I immediately feel so great! It's hard work, I'm literally dead afterwards but it makes my soul feel so much better. And I honestly do believe that everyone should experience this feeling at least once. For me it was a long way until I felt like really good after my workout, but it's so worth it. All about the right mind set. Oh and of course I'm one step closer to my "perfect" body. Just to make it clear, I really love my body and the shape and everything. I'm just trying to improve. So you are totally right - you have to be happy in the present moment, because abs or big arms won't make you happy at all!
I just got off the scale and am down 38 pounds since December 28th. (I have 12 pounds to get to my weight goal) What you are saying in this video is exactly what has been going through my mind every time I see someone saying that if I try hard enough I could look like them too. I will spare you my workout plan, but rest and nutrition is part of my success too. Then I see this, just now and have been reinforced in what I've been doing. I mean... I have ab muscles I can see now! And you don't have to be in the right light to see them! I NEVER saw them before... Never ever! You guys have been a huge inspiration! I just did it at my own pace and the results have been, emotional. I'm 5'10'', 48 years old, and tickled pink! I just wanted to thank you for being real and caring.
This was really great John. When I was around 16-18 I used to think my life would be so much better if I just lose that 5kg or 10kg, I was always linking being happier to losing weight even though I was never overweight and ate clean 90% of the time. Around the time I turned 20 it felt like one day I just woke up with a completely different mindset. I started to care less about how others saw me physically and worked on being happy with myself. I started getting just that little bit more outdoors and started to feel really great, happy, and healthy inside and have learnt that it's not how I look that makes me happy it's the experiences, friends, health, family, and opportunities I have in life. I'm doing my finals in university and will be graduating in September. I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and I'm ok with that. I'm just looking forward to the future adventures and finding what I want to do in life :)
this video is just what I needed, I have been unhappy for about a week now and my eating has gone crazy, I haven't been to the gym for 8 days, thank you for todays upload it has made me a whole lot happier :)
Thanks! Although I certainly need to lose weight, I train with my coach 3 days a week so I can be strong and stay above the ground for as long as I can. I have found that the gym can be intimidating - but the consistent effort, showing up each workout ready to go, not complaining has not only made me stronger BUT has made me happier. I still have a long way to go to get to a healthy weight but there is a satisfaction that comes from a successful workout and slow, steady progress. You guys are awesome and your message and consistent encouragement are appreciated!
This couldn't have come at a better time. Today I have been beating myself up. I qualified as a pt in july last year after losing 6 stone and wanting to help people. I have a full time job and now pt'ing in my spare time.. so I can't train as often. I am constantly putting myself down because I think I am putting on weight and I'm not the ideal person like people on Instagram. Seriously..m the best timed video for me so thank you. It made me really think... I'm doing this for me. I always have and always will. So long as I'm healthy and happy, who cares? It's about me and my body. Thank you :)
Love this video. I realised only very recently that the people I was comparing myself too were firstly nothing like me in body shape or size and secondly as you said we're tensing or posing and they too probably look chubby eating pizza on the sofa haha. It's hard tho with all these "perfect" images to not judge yourself. And we shouldn't because there's already too many people judging us already. I'm 23 so god knows how younger people deal with this growing up now.
This has changed my opinion on fitness and health I always try and get fit and stuff but I'm already quite skinny. I feel uncomfortable with the way I look. Thank you so much this has really helped. :)
Thank you for such a great video! I've had so many trainers that felt if I didn't look like them I wasn't working hard enough. So much so it's put me off training entirely. It even made me doubt why I was training at all, which was to look decent and be healthy. Thanks for reminding me to be strong where it really counts!
I went through a process of eating as much as I could as often as I could and working out 7 days a week to try and achieve massive arms! To get there I sacrificed my social life, my health, my relationship and my mental health. I thought that having massive arms would make me happy. Turns out when I got there, I was the most unhappy I had ever been. My relationship failed, I scared my family and even though I was at 84KG (which was just unnatural for my body type and 5ft 9" physic) I still was not happy. I am now back down to a healthier 75KG, I'm leaner, more toned, fitter and most of all, a lot more happier with my body image. I no longer worry about my arm size. My goals have changed now. I'd love to have massive arms but in reality - thats not what my body is made more. I'm naturally lean so I have embraced this and just want to be toned all over. At the end of the day, I made myself unhappy trying to reach unrealistic goals and worrying about issues that were pointless. Don't stress about having amazing arms or a washboard stomach. Embrace life! Enjoy family/friends/relationships. Keep fit. Be healthy. And Love Life!
I so needed to hear this! Great video, thanks for the honesty!! Been feeling pressured to be stick skinny & been getting frustrated that I'm not seeing results, a lot of this hit home with me, think I'm just going to enjoy what I'm doing from now on :)
Omg..such a great video....I have had a pair of jeans in my wardrobe that have not fit me for 16 years....and always think I'd be so happy to get back in those....I have a great life, husband, son ... Gonna throw those jeans away.....when they fit me I always wanted to be a few pounds lighter and I was so slim back then, what really matters to me is health....thanks so much...I feel like I've just seen the light...x
THANK YOU John !! There's so much confusion in the fitness industry because of all these companies or trainers selling you things and many people including myself don't know what to go for ! Love u guys ! X
This video is such a great help. It's made me really put into perspective about how I'm treating my body lately. Since my operation, any healthy eating and exercise has gone out of the window. And this has made me realise that I'm not happy like this. Thank you John. You're such a help! x
Great point! I used to buy beachbody products and after I finish the program and get all upset because I didn't look like the people in the video. Eventually I got over it and decided to focus on myself. Great video
Proberbly one of the best vids you've done. I don't mean that in a negative way. My hubby has suffered with depression for a long time (7/8 years) and it nearly took its toll on him and us as a family. However, through CBT and some light excerise he is slowly but surely getting better. on Sunday we are gonna start running so not only are we spending time together we are training which in turn will give my hubby the natural endorphins. The mind is the most important part of the human body, should that not work properly nothing else will. X
I appreciate your comment & i'm happy you guys are working towards a happier healthier lifestyle. You are absolutely right the mind is incredibly powerful
People should use more often their brain!! And we should think about what we see on social media and not just see it and believe everything. You two are totally my role models because you are completely honest with us and yourself! Great job John! 👍🏻
Today I was looking on Pinterest to find some kind of motivational picture or quote and it only made me feel more inadequate than before. I forgot that I had goals of learning to swim and enjoying putting together nutritious meals. And I don't truly in my heart of hearts want to spend my mental energy on "perfecting" my body. Thanks for the very thoughtful video!
So crazy! I just found your channel the other day. And I've been thinking of doing a video similar to this (a few different ideas plus main focus on focusing on YOUR journey), this is SO good (: well done!
Thank you for making this video. I recently had a eureka moment when I see myself as I was and not the distorted image I keep in my head. Yes, I do want to flatten my belly a little but I have a fantastic hourglass shape and I am proud of that, a bit squishy but nothing major and nothing my new hula hoop can't fix. Come on people, love yourselves more, I'm sure you can find on thing. Us Brits are normally rubbish and complimenting ourselves, this needs to change.
I absolutely love seeing videos like these from you guys. I love that you all push all around fitness and not just physical fitness. I definitely feel like that is something that is seriously lacking these days. Thank you so much for all your videos but especially these that go a bit deeper. I would love to see more like these but I enjoy everything you guys put out. You guys are truly amazing and I know you're making a difference in people's lives.
thanks for this video, ive just picked up going to the gym again recently and adapting a better healthier diet for the simple reason of being able to show some pride in my appearance. so far things have been going quite well ive noticed a lot of decent changes, i quit drinking and go to the gym about 4 times a week and adapt a fresher more protein based diet and it feels kinda good. i do wonder sometimes though... what happens if ive kinda put all my eggs in one basket hoping that the gym and changing my appearance will help me find self confidence and a more happy person, when i finally get there will i still be a mile away from anything i want to to achieve? who know, suppose its best to give it a go and find out.
DeAtHaToMiC88 Absolutely mate it's all a learning curve but you can't learn if you don't step in the arena, regardless of what you discover you have made a positive step to improving your health.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video!! Thank you! For everything you guys share with us to live a healthier lifestyle, without any judgement, is just wicked cool! Keep doing what you guys are doing and just know there are people out there that appreciate ALL that you both do!
I love your channel and the informative videos you post on here. I've recently started my own journey to get healthier and I do struggle, but I'm learning how to enjoy the process and not be demotivated by the really fit people I see on social media. It's hard but not impossible. Thank you for a great video!
This is so inspiring. Especially for me right now as I'm currently doing my a levels and must say I do get down a lot about fitness and exams and everything. Thank you😌
John. Thank you!🙏😊 For taking the time and to share this video. You touched on alot of issues that im currently going through in my life right now And it was really nice and reassurring to watch this! :) Cheers from your new zealand fan!
An absolutely amazing video, thank you. I lost seven stone last year but this year due to severe social anxiety and depression so every time I step foot into the gym is an amazing achievement compared to last year but step by step I am getting there. Thanks again.

I've struggled with trying to be healthy for years. But I've stuck with it this time (for 6months) because I'm doing this for myself and I'm having fun with it.
Cheers, this is the perfect motivational and thought promoting video! This is the truth regardless of who you are or what your goals are :-) square in the middle of exams and this just reflects motivation I need to work hard and on the side not to forget to eat well and workout. Keep on posting, I love your videos!
Everything you said was very true and beautifully said. I'm so glad you addressed this. The health of the mind is more important than anything. An extremely fit body can't fix that. And like you said, everyone has their own exercise and routine that suits them specifically. Definitely live in the moment and try not to let fear over take you.
Really good video mate, i started working out and lifting weight because i didn't want to be the skinny kid that everyone looked down on. This video really helped me to understand not to care about what people think about u as long as you're happy. Thanks alot guys
Great video guys! I think we all need to take a step back and really think about what makes us happy. I use to look at Instagram too much as it is so easy to compare yourself to others and put pressure on yourself to be mega lean, strong etc. I do want those things however I'm not going to put pressure on myself to get to that goal asap to the point where I am not enjoying the journey. Thanks John :)
I had a friend, many years ago, a competitive body builder who was on steroids - until he ended up in hospital with uncontrollable hypertension. He quit when his workout partner, same age - 24 years old - had a massive heart attack and died because of his addition to steroids.

Thanks for this video John, this really moved me, you have honestly changed my interpretation on happiness, now I can enjoy life, thank you.

Great job John! 👍🏻
I could listen to him for hours. Great stuff! Keep it up.
This is very true! This is what I tell my friends and they don't believe me when I say "you do you!"
Today I was looking on Pinterest to find some kind of motivational picture or quote and it only made me feel more inadequate than before. I forgot that I had goals of learning to swim and enjoying putting together nutritious meals. And I don't truly in my heart of hearts want to spend my mental energy on "perfecting" my body.

This is awesome! Thank you so much for these encouraging words. Its nice to know that there are still good and honest trainers out there :)
So crazy! I just found your channel the other day. And I've been thinking of doing a video similar to this (a few different ideas plus main focus on focusing on YOUR journey), this is SO good (: well done!
This is the best video you guys have ever posted. Should have been titled, "Killer Mind/Soul Workout!"
This was brilliantly done. To the point and no bullshit, much appreciated :)
You deserve more subscribers! One of the few UA-camrs that talk sense
This needed to be said, well done and thank you for being the voice for the average people just trying their best x
Thank you for making this video. I recently had a eureka moment when I see myself as I was and not the distorted image I keep in my head. Yes, I do want to flatten my belly a little but I have a fantastic hourglass shape and I am proud of that, a bit squishy but nothing major and nothing my new hula hoop can't fix. Come on people, love yourselves more, I'm sure you can find on thing. Us Brits are normally rubbish and complimenting ourselves, this needs to change.

best video I've seen in a looong time! This is so real and true, thank you! You really reminded me of whats important in life :)
:)
Great video John!! Thanks for always being honest and above all a pleasure to watch along with Leon.
thanks for this video, ive just picked up going to the gym again recently and adapting a better healthier diet for the simple reason of being able to show some pride in my appearance.
so far things have been going quite well ive noticed a lot of decent changes, i quit drinking and go to the gym about 4 times a week and adapt a fresher more protein based diet and it feels kinda good.
i do wonder sometimes though... what happens if ive kinda put all my eggs in one basket hoping that the gym and changing my appearance will help me find self confidence and a more happy person, when i finally get there will i still be a mile away from anything i want to to achieve? who know, suppose its best to give it a go and find out.

Great video, thanks John! Just what I needed to hear.
Best take away point-enjoy the process. build something work towards a goal don't run away from what's happening in your own head.
That was right up my street! Love your videos guys! Thank you!
I love your channel and the informative videos you post on here.

How could 2 people dislike this?! It was brilliant.
Thank you for telling it as it is. I need to hear this
This is so inspiring. Especially for me right now as I'm currently doing my a levels and must say I do get down a lot about fitness and exams and everything. Thank you😌
It's nice to see things like this on the internet, it's very rare!

Keep on posting, I love your videos!
This video needed to be made. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you Anthony 👍
Everything you said was very true and beautifully said. I'm so glad you addressed this. The health of the mind is more important than anything. An extremely fit body can't fix that. And like you said, everyone has their own exercise and routine that suits them specifically. Definitely live in the moment and try not to let fear over take you.
Thank you for this, it really put some things in perspective for me.
Needed this. Thank you!

This is such a good video. John speaks the TROOF!
Thank You, John

Really good video mate, i started working out and lifting weight because i didn't want to be the skinny kid that everyone looked down on. This video really helped me to understand not to care about what people think about u as long as you're happy. Thanks alot guys
This is what I needed, thank you
I needed this. Thank you
I would love to get a personal trainer like you... I have a lot of weight to lose. I think you would push me but also be understanding and realistic.
Great video guys! I think we all need to take a step back and really think about what makes us happy. I use to look at Instagram too much as it is so easy to compare yourself to others and put pressure on yourself to be mega lean, strong etc. I do want those things however I'm not going to put pressure on myself to get to that goal asap to the point where I am not enjoying the journey. Thanks John :)
This was comforting, reassuring, and inspiring . thank you :)!

I had a friend, many years ago, a competitive body builder who was on steroids - until he ended up in hospital with uncontrollable hypertension. He quit when his workout partner, same age - 24 years old - had a massive heart attack and died because of his addition to steroids.
Agreed. Finally someone says it. Thanks guys

Great video. It's just....sometimes it take a while to figure out what is it you really want
