Fitness Advice Is Full of Crap… and That’s a Good Thing

Send us a text

A friend said this during a conversation about finance, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how much it applies to health and fitness:

“The grass is always greener when it’s fertilised with crap.”

And look, the health and fitness industry? It’s full of crap.
 Advice is everywhere—every influencer, every program, every quick fix promising the ultimate result.
 Yes, I get the irony: I’m here giving advice on social media too. But stay with me.

Here’s the difference:
 In finance, bad advice can wreck your bank account.
 In health? Even the "crappy" advice—most of it still encourages you to move your body and eat better.
 And that will help you live a longer, healthier, happier life.

No one is seriously out here saying:

“Sit on the couch all day, eat junk, and watch Netflix—that’s the path to peak health.”

So while everyone’s offering their own spin—HIIT vs. Pilates, low carb vs. plant-based—the message underneath is the same:
 Move your body. Eat real food. Avoid ultra-processed junk.

That’s it.
 Simple. Effective. Universal.

The trick?
 Find the version of that advice—the “crap”—that works for you.
Because consistency beats perfection every time.
