I’m actually genuinely glad I found this thread, because I’m someone who doesn’t really put a lot of thought into the facts of what someone is saying, but more so the message they’re trying to convey.

So previously to lurking and posting on here, I’d watch Emma doing her crazy workouts and I wouldn’t bat an eye at it considering she says that it’s good for her, and it would intimidate me and make me feel pretty lazy (and sometimes even large), tbh.

I think that even I would have been like “wtf” at her goal of 600 workouts in one year, not to mention a year with a pandemic, but it’s still been good for me to come here and just read people laying down the facts and being like: “DAMN, that *is* crazy behaviour!” and not just her being healthy and fit and me being lazy AF.
This is how I used to feel. She made me feel so lazy 😂

I think that’s something she does on purpose tbh? She always mentions getting up bright and early and being like “OMG I GOT SO MUCH SLEEP LAST NIGHT - 8 HOURS!” - I think it’s to combat the idea of influencers being lazy and able to get up whenever they want?

That being said it would make way more sense for her to actually have a lie in here and there and then actually get tit done, lol. I do not understand why she gets up at like 7 to sit around and count her lipsticks when she could be sleeping, or, you know, actually getting stuff done. So weird to me.

I honestly think she gets up early because she gets up to do something she enjoys. She doesn’t have to force herself out of bed to get to work 😂😂 My days off and late starts are precious opportunities for a lie in for me.

Okay, I gave in and watched the fitness journey anniversary, and by gosh this is diet culture gone wild.

First things first because I'm petty AF (and I see this everywhere, its not just Emma), STOP calling it a "global pandemic" - pandemic means global epidemic. :LOL:

Secondly, she is massively overexercising. There are no rest days in her plan. What coach would recommend that? The amount of cortisol her body must be producing when she is putting it under that much stress everyday is extremely worrying. Rest days are part of healthy exercise routines and do not let Emma tell you otherwise.

Thirdly, she uses the term intuitive eating but so clearly does the opposite. She calorie counts and she eats low-calorie, alternative versions of the food she actually intuitively wants. Diet foods do not fall into intuitive eating, don't let that fool you into a falsehood.

Telling your audience what you weigh, totally unnecessary. Weight is totally based on a person's own frame and distribution of large and muscle. The only thing this does is cause comparison and I think that's wrong when your audience are young women and people who've found your video from searching "FITNESS JOURNEY".

I could honestly go on and on. I think she has got a lot of mental work to do to really figure out her motivations

The way she talks in that video is as if she’s an expert on fitness and the gym and dieting 😐 really worrying that people will listen to her crap advice
