What’s the most common inaccurate health or fitness view most people hold?

That you need to work out as hard and as often as I do to see significant gains and health benefits. Realize that when I post my “impossible” celebrity workouts, I am very consciously making the tradeoff that I will work out 3-4x as much and as hard as the average person needs to — all to receive only 25-30% more benefits.

Most people don’t need to do what I do. Most people probably would not stick to it. However, I wanted Thor arms so that’s what I went for. And that’s what I got. I knew what it’d take and I did it. You can too but perhaps you should not.

(I’m reacting to journalists writing things like, “No one can work out like Hugh Jackman!!!!!111111” Well, someone can. I do. And I have no dietitians nor even a personal trainer. But it’s not at all necessary to work out like Hugh Jackman or Chris Evans to receive absolutely huge benefits. This is where the American binary thinking goes wrong. People believe not working out like Hugh Jackman == failing utterly.

However, the reality is that the average person should be doing 20-40 minutes of medium- to high-impact exercise 2-3 times a week to receive most of the benefits that I do. By comparison, I work out 5-6 times a week for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours each time.)
