Welcome back to another episode of the Athletic Studio podcast! In today's special episode, we dive into the current health, wellness, and fitness trends that we find less than impressive. This episode is particularly significant as it marks Kate's final appearance as a co-host. Join us as we share our candid thoughts and reflections on these trends, and discuss the future of the podcast.

Key Highlights

1. Calorie Counting on Social Media: We discuss the oversimplified approach of some fitness influencers who focus on calorie counting and food labels without providing deeper nutritional education.
2. Hybrid Training: We explore the recent hype around hybrid training, combining strength training and running, and why we think it's not as revolutionary as it's made out to be.
3. Run Clubs: We delve into the social dynamics of run clubs, noting their popularity for both fitness and socializing, and the potential pitfalls to be aware of.
4. Misleading Fitness Content: We critique fitness content that makes unrealistic promises, such as "tone your arms in 50 days," and emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to fitness.
5. Sexualization in Fitness Marketing: We discuss the trend of sexualizing fitness content to gain attention on social media and the lack of educational value in such approaches.

We hope our discussion has given you some food for thought about the current trends in health and wellness.
