Celebrities, Please Stay in Your Lane When It Comes to Fitness

There’s one thing that celebrities are good at—acting and entertaining us. Other than that, they are normal human beings just like you and I. Yet, there’s one thing that honestly bothers me more than anything with celebrities, and that is when they drift out of their lane to make money in a market they don’t belong in.
