Hi guys, first time posting here after a few days of lurking having just discovered this site. It’s a breath of fresh air seeing the conversations on these threads echo what i was thinking in my head when I saw these posts on my feed. It’s quite vindicating because you only ever see positive engagement on social media so you end up thinking either you’re the crazy one or the worlds gone mad.
Anyway, I just wanted to echo what a few other people have said about injuries from CBs workouts and to thank the people who raised how dangerous her high impact jumpy workouts can be for bodies not used to or ready for that type of exercise. I consider myself quite an active person interested in evidence based/scientific side of fitness and nutrition, and it never even occurred to me that her workouts were actually quite dangerous.
I found her page towards the end of 2020 and subscribed for her January 2021 challenge which I followed quite religiously for the 28 days. I loved how sweaty I got and that they do give you a good workout but you guys are completely right they are so high impact, jumpy and she doesn’t allow time to properly explain or show you how to do some of the more complex moves that she’s tried to make ip herself. As a result of this and the pace there is so much risk of poor form and you even see her not doing the moves correctly at the pace she’s trying to go at. I’ve had a bad shoulder for the whole year as a result and it’s still no better - some of my movements are quite limited and if I’m trying to roll over off that shoulder in the night it’s still painful. I should probably get it checked out but I’ve just been hoping it will heal in time.
Anyway because her workouts were so sweaty and good and I thought she was much older than she is (I was completely flawed to find out she was only 23/24 at the time) I trusted that she was experienced and wise enough to follow but her posts have been hugely triggering for me. I hate that she constantly plasters her side by side ED and now pics together like a trophy - I find it so triggering to see allll the time. I also hate her attempts at trying to show she has a normal body by contorting herself and sticking her belly out - to people with actual normal bodies who don’t workout for a living it’s a complete piss take
anyway this turned into a bit of a rant, but long story short she has a lot of growing up to do, needs to stop prescribing high impact workouts to everyone, and needs to stop posting triggering ED related content and “healthy” low cal meals full of processed sugar and fat free crap. It’s so bad young people will follow her and pick up these bad and misinformed habits.
