Reasonably Fit Jason and Lauren Pak

"Do this bikini body workout before it's too late." "Get shredded for summer," "Lose 10lbs for a rockin' beach bod." You know the drill. As soon as the weather starts to turn, fitness companies start trying to scare you into believing you’re not good enough and you need x/y/z program or diet or product in order to be worthy of enjoying yourself at the beach.

It's all garbage! But today we want to give you more than just our opinion on the matter, and actually provide some strategies for how you can start combatting this type of marketing so that you don't fall victim to their tactics.

In summary, here are the 4 strategies we outline:
 Diversify the images you're seeing by following accounts that celebrate bodies like yours Find workout communities that focus on aspects of fitness outside of appearance Shop from companies who showcase body diversity in their models Create a mantra that brings you back to reality when the negative thought spirals try to take you down

Does being fit have a look? When we're shown the same types of images over and over again whenever fitness is being marketed, we start to believe that in order to be considered fit, we have to look a certain way. In today's episode we break down what "being fit" actually means, and whether or not the way you look has anything to do with how "fit" you are.

"What I eat in a day" videos -  you've probably seen them. Fitness influencers sharing a perfectly curated day of what they eat in attempts to "inspire" or educate their followers on nutrition. But are these types of posts actually helpful, or can they be harmful for the people consuming the information? Coming into this discussion, Lauren had very strong opinions, only to find out that Jason had a different perspective on it. And then through a quick Instagram poll we developed an even broader perspective on how people feel about the topic. 

Things get vulnerable and messy, but we share it all and come together in the end with an evolved opinion while respecting each other's truths.

You can't do fitness "wrong" and all movement is good movement, but there are some common mistakes that could be holding you back from making progress or reaching the goals you've set for yourself. In this episode we break down the top 5 mistakes we see people making in the gym, and provide tangible takeaways so that you can either make some positive changes or avoid those mistakes altogether!

The episode starts with a 5 minute conversation about whether it's better to be the oldest kid in the class or the youngest, and has nothing to do with the rest of the episode but is a small glimpse into who we are as humans and how we navigate situations as parents. Feel free to skip ahead if you just want to get straight to the information :)

In our first official episode we dive right into a question we get asked all the time, "how do I get motivated to workout?" After some conversation around what it even means for someone to "be motivated" we provide our top four solutions for anyone who is feeling a lack of motivation to exercise. Toward the end we mention a solution that we actually left off the original list (goal setting) and offer a new way of looking at goals and their relationship to motivation.
