Do you practice what you preach?
I always think about the importance of leading by example and really being the best student of what it is that I am trying to teach! If I was a fat trainer, or an investment
So I came across this topic on Marksdailyapple.com
As regards to fitness; Does the physical appearance of a fitness or nutrition authority affect the worthiness of the message?
“Regina Benjamin, the United States’ 18th Surgeon General, is markedly overweight. She’s a highly trained physician who famously set up a medical clinic for Alabama’s poor hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina, and she’s unquestionably knowledgeable and experienced, but she’s also overweight. Does this negatively impact her role as the public face of health? Does her weight detract from the message?
Or take countless nutrition experts that fit the mold of the dietitian featured in this video? She’s educated, has dozens of books on nutrition and healthy cooking under her belt and, at least on paper, looks like an authority of sorts. But her physique (saying nothing of her healthy eating tips) doesn’t exactly instill confidence in her recommendations (as readers noted in the forum).
