Even Potentially Misleading Information can Help

I came across this piece of information, from a professional I follow:

"Only 4% of Americans regularly strength train...

Let that number sink in"

I love these "shocking" statistics and I messaged the professional to ask him for the source where this stat came from, or possibly a link I could pass along as well. I noticed after a month that the person had read my message... but with no reply. 🤨 Definitely disappointing, as I've come across more professionals who are more than willing to connect.

I messaged again, and once again it was read - still no reply. 😕

Coach D's point? 👇

Point #1) Not ALL (possibly) false or misleading information is "bad". I 100% believe a small percentage of North Americans strength train regularly. Whether this figure mentioned is accurate or not remains a mystery. HOWEVER - reality is, MORE people who care to create positive change in their health, longevity and quality of living, can do so by exploring basic strength and mobility work as part of their regular routines. (And you don't need a gym membership or fancy equipment to create this positive change if you don't want.)

Point #2) Be curious about information like this, but also remember that even misleading / inaccurate statistics may drive the motivation for positive change.
