All right, everybody, we're going to get into the fitness traps of 2026 that are sabotaging your results, and then we'll talk about what actually works. Let's get to it. I like these traps.
Okay, so what inspired this? I'm looking at what you got ahead of us here, and I'm like, oh, this is interesting.
There are things that we talk about that get into people's way, and then I think there are things that are more timely with kind of what's happening right now with fitness trends. Yeah. Like, for example, the first thing is the over-reliance on wearables and tech. This was not a thing when we were training clients.
Wearables were not a thing. Just emerging, but yeah, not.
Towards the end, they were starting to come out. Even then, yeah. But now, wearables and tech, things that track your sleep and your heart rate and… Your steps and all the tracking wearable devices are becoming a big thing, and they can totally become a trap.
Yeah, I like the way you frame this, and I like the things that you chose because I feel like this is the theme that they all have in common. They all have validity. They all could be a tool. But I do think that they've become a trap. I think that every one of these ones that you've listed, people have fallen prey to the marketing and advertising around them. And now it's the end-all, be-all, or they're dependent on these things to get to their results. And I couldn't agree more. And I think out of all of us, I'm the most pro probably tech. I think I use to the tech stuff for tracking the most. I think it can be a wonderful tool.
