So THIS Is Fitness | Health, Fitness, Running & Weight Loss


Health, fitness, running, weight loss... it doesn't have to be hard! Take it from a guy who's been there and "gets it" - your host, Darrell McTague. Having lost 130 lbs and finished ULTRAmarathons, he's learned it all the hard way so you don't have to.

We're not perfect.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that, sometimes... ok- often... we go looking for love in all the wrong places. Of course, I mean that in the context of our health & fitness... and where, exactly, we seek answers...

We're just doing what we've been taught, really.

This is really quite simple, when you think about it - we have problems, and we're seeking solutions in the "best", most efficient way we know how! That's not so bad... is it? I may be calling it "looking for love in all the wrong places"... but it's really crowdsourcing. There's a problem, though...

Not everything should be crowdsourced.

From important surgeries to unfortunate, unforeseen emergencies... we're not afraid to crowdsource things we can't handle ourselves. Unfortunately, it seems "solutions to our health and fitness problems" are also one of those things. When we have a potential injury or health issue, we look not to a doctor or trained professional... but to the internet. We turn to random strangers we've never met. Not only do we not know these people... we certainly don't know their qualifications relative to our issues. This is, most certainly, a problem... when you consider the potential ramifications of acting on bad advice. Might we get lucky and be ok? Yeah, maybe - but what if we're not so lucky? Maybe we should have a chat about why looking to the faceless masses on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is not the best plan of action for our nutrition, fitness, health, and injury-fixing needs...

What's in this episode:

  • We talk about how things have been going lately
  • Some new ventures I’m looking at
  • And how we’re looking for love in all the wrong places… by asking questions we need answers to in places where Rwe might get the WRONG answers
