In this episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, Craig and I react to a viral Instagram reel where a guy quickly rattled off a list of things you supposedly don’t need in your fitness journey.
It was the classic quick-hit, no-context, bait-style content… so naturally, we had thoughts.
We broke it down one by one—what we actually agree with and what we think is complete BS. Some of the points were solid, others were just flat-out misleading. Either way, it sparked a fun and informative conversation around what truly matters in your health and fitness journey.
Whether you’re new to the gym or deep into your fitness lifestyle, this episode will give you some clarity (and maybe a few laughs) on what’s worth your time—and what’s not.
