I read a really bad article in the newspaper recently by some Australian “fitness guru”. Here are 3 of his points in black and my reply in red. Please email me at chad.davis.1@gmail.com if you would like the full article.

Some of his 20 points were excellent though such as prioritize sleep and eat more vegetables. He also said not to trust all fitness gurus. Cool. Agreed. This is why I call it Primed  for your Life.

I help you to be healthier and happier in the context of your current health, goals and life environment.

I have picked 3 of this Aussie “Fitness Gurus” points that I disagree with. Happy to get your feedback/comments.

1) Enter an event.

Crossing the finish line is a fun accomplishment. Australia is loaded with 5km fun walks, 100km charity hikes, and (half to full) marathons. There’s something for every age and fitness level this time of year.

Nah, just walk more, move more and find an activity you really love. If that is running then all is cool. Do it, but never fueled with garbage food and drinks and never at the expense of sleep. To do that is not healthy.

I love running and my Soleus running team buddies. However, the main benefit of a race is the: (a) social interaction;

(b) the sunshine effects for Vitamin D on my skin

and; (c) to take your mind of life’s worries. I never fuel my running with junk food like bread, pasta, noodles, crackers, toxic veg oil, sugarade, soy, sugar, low fat anything and processed carbage.

Do not run too much, too fast or too often as you will learn by watching this video.
