When you find yourself wondering who to trust about fitness advice start with yourself. While your mind is questioning your gut, or instinct, already knows the answer. The rambling in your mind is a defence mechanism meant to keep you safe, when in imminent danger. Overthinking a solution to your fitness goal, while important, doesn’t fit that bill.
Review your options and ask yourself some pertinent questions. Does the source look and act fit to offer fitness direction? Do they offer clear and logical advice? Does it resonate with you? Will you follow it? Have they been recommended by another trusted source? If your honest answer to these five questions is yes then you have very likely found someone worthy of your trust.
Next up it’s time to follow the trusted advice and trust yourself to make some appropriate behaviour changes in order to reach your fitness goal!
