Paul and Howard discuss the perils of 'form police'—people who criticize other people's exercise techniques. These people most often found on social media platforms like Instagram, X, and LinkedIn, but they can be anywhere, from gyms to the street.

Paul and Howard share personal anecdotes about receiving unsolicited advice on their workout videos, highlighting the importance of movement over perfect form. They stress that most people don't need perfect form to benefit from exercise, and such criticism can discourage people from staying active. They also touch on their own experiences of being judged for their exercise form and emphasize the need for simplicity and less friction in encouraging others to move and stay healthy.
