![]() Stephanie takes her medicines, but doesn’t engage in physical therapy or change her lifestyle because she feels there’s no point, given that she has a disease she can’t control. She believes MS will ruin her life in many areas, such as work and relationships. She might believe that the illness is a result of her lifestyle and that she could have prevented it somehow. If Stephanie is an unrealistic pessimist, she is likely to view life challenges as stable, with this diagnosis serving as no exception. As a result, she has a bad flare-up, ends up in the ER, and feels terribly disappointed. Stephanie feels better, but then fails to maintain her lifestyle adjustments because she thinks she’s fine now. Stephanie immediately begins an anti-inflammatory diet, attends physical therapy, and takes her medicine regularly. She is confident that she will conquer her disease and get on with her life just as before. She will not fault herself for her condition and will believe it to be a fluke, since things usually go her way.Īlthough upset by her diagnosis, she firmly believes that she has the least serious type of MS. If Stephanie is unrealistically optimistic, she is likely to view her condition as manageable, stable, and unlikely to worsen. Stephanie’s mindset will play a key role in how she manages her illness as noted below. When she goes to a specialist, Stephanie is diagnosed with recurring multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune inflammatory disease that causes a wide range of neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness, vision problems, muscle numbness, and difficulty moving. She has also noticed that she’s been clumsy, forgetting things, and that one of her eyes is blurry. Stephanie is an active 32-year-old woman who has been feeling fatigued lately, with a great deal of muscle pain and stiffness. The following vignettes highlight how mindsets affect how a person responds to a challenging situation. There is room for realism in this equation realistic optimism serves a protective function by allowing a person to remain optimistic while accepting the reality of difficult situations.Īn optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel.Ī train driver sees three idiots standing on the tracks. Similarly, unrealistic optimism (versus realistic optimism) when health is deteriorating was associated with a 313% higher death rate.Ĭlearly, optimism versus pessimism is not black and white. The researchers found that having realistically pessimistic (versus unrealistically optimistic) health expectations was related to both reduced depressive symptoms and risk of death. (2019) addressed the role of explanatory styles in an 18-year longitudinal study assessing health expectations and health outcomes among elderly Canadians. While studies have often reported better outcomes from optimists versus pessimists (Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994), more recent research has also addressed the role of a realistic mindset, in which expectations are based in reality versus fantasy or illusion.Īs a notable example, Chipperfield et al. Moreover, defensive pessimism may actually be beneficial in some situations.įigure 1: Relationship between explanatory style, event, and perception ![]() Importantly, however, an association between pessimism and negative outcomes is not always straightforward, as it is possible to feel simultaneously pessimistic and optimistic about a situation. In contrast, an optimistic disposition is associated with reduced depression and physical symptoms (Gillham et al., 2001). Viewing undesirable events as due to stable, internal causes has a negative impact on self-esteem (Gillham et al., 2001). For example, a person with a negative bias is less likely to feel resilient when dealing with stressors because they will feel a lack of personal control. These relationships are presented in Figure 1 below.Įxplanatory style affects many aspects of life. ![]() Individuals who are pessimistic will often interpret negative events as internal, global, and stable whereas positive events are often viewed as external, specific, and unstable (Gillham, Shatte, Reivich, & Seligman, 2001). When a person views situations from a pessimistic mindset, this is considered a negative bias (Dember, Martin, Hummer, Howe, & Melton, 1989). Humans consistently search for meaning to explain life events. Pessimism is a type of explanatory style in which individuals “expect the disadvantageous outcome when facing events of unknown emotional impact” (Herwig et al., 2010, p.

![]() ![]() You've probably spotted Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis scales in your local health club – they use electrical currents to measure your body fat (and often a wealth of other things, too: muscle mass, water, bone mass, etc). The accuracy really depends how well-trained the person using them is – for this reason, they can be a little hit and miss. CalipersĬalipers are handheld devices used, quite literally, to pinch and measure your fat in different areas with a calculation that determines your body fat levels. It’s expensive and time-consuming, but also considered one of the most accurate and reliable. You’re plunged into a big tank and scientists measure your fat levels using the Archimedes principle of fluid displacement. You’ll find them at pop up clinics, but again they’re pretty expensive and will demand a couple of hours out of your day.Īlso known as hydrodensitometry or underwater weighing. Known as the 'gold standard' due to its reliability and applicability, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is an X-ray machine designed to measure bone density that doubles up as a neat little body fat percentage scanner.

Unknown // Getty Images How to Measure Body Fat Percentageįirst you need to accurately measure what you’re working with. Whereas the American Council on Exercise ( ACE) recommends for men: So, what is a healthy body fat percentage? Nuffield health recommends for men: Vascular, lean muscle is one thing, a shrink-wrapped human is another. 'The value often cited for healthy men with normal BMIs is 15 per cent,' says Heymsfield. ![]() The Royal College of Nursing lists 8-20 per cent for 20-39 year old men, rising to 11-22 per cent if you’re between 40 and 59. 'There are reports of deaths at these levels.' 'Pushing your body fat percentage below five per cent is very risky,' says Heymsfield. We’re certainly not suggesting you go that low. Then there’s the flip side of the coin: the gym-goers who strive to get their score as low as possible, aiming for that worrying point where ripped meets translucent. ![]() ![]() “The end of our first tour, the four of us were summoned to Peter Grant’s suite,” remembers Kirke. With a number one album to their credit in America, Bad Company returned to London triumphant. Rodgers’ passionate, soulful vocals were reminiscent of one of his idols, Otis Redding, and struck a chord with the group’s rapidly expanding fan base. FM radio devoured their debut disc, ultimately working “Can’t Get Enough,” “Rock Steady,” “Bad Company,” “Ready For Love” and “Movin’ On” into regular rotation. While some fans had recognized Rodgers’ voice from “All Right Now,” the group’s energetic stage shows wowed audiences largely unfamiliar with the work of Free or Mott The Hoople. In the United States, Bad Company’s popularity soared. Three months later, we were at number one. When we started out on tour, the album had just broken into the charts. “In America, remembers Rodgers, “the response to Bad Company was overwhelming, night after night. The rousing response they enjoyed from fans and critics in the UK propelled the group to America on a high note, brimming with confidence. ![]() Bad Company made their formal debut at Newcastle City Hall in March 1974. Taking full benefit of Swan Song’s visibility and Grant’s press and marketing skills. Basically, we played like a bar band but soon it was clear that the bars were getting very large indeed!” I guess we wanted to be the MG’s with Otis Redding. My favourite guitarist, the man inspired me to play, was Steve Cropper. ![]() “We would play soul and blues favourites at rehearsals instead of learning new songs. I think that is what gave us our identity as a band.” “We always tried to be natural,” says Ralphs. “We were just trying to play what felt good and natural. “We were influenced by people like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and, to a certain extent, the Beatles,” explains Rodgers. He would eventually record a new version of the song for “Cut Loose,” his 1983 solo album. Rock, blues and even country influences were skillfully layered within songs such as the beautiful Rodgers-penned ballad “Seagull,” the straight-ahead rock of “Movin’ On” and “Rocky Steady.” Also featured from those fertile sessions at Headley Grange are “Little Miss Fortune,” the brooding blues rock classic “Ready For Love” and the previously unreleased “Superstar Woman.” While “Superstar Woman” ultimately did not become part of Bad Company’s catalog, Rodgers’ belief in the song never diminished. The eight tracks recorded at Headley Grange clearly defined the band’s stripped-down sound. We did interesting experiments like placing the vocal microphone way out in the fields for the song ‘Bad Company.’ We recorded that track late at night underneath a fall moon.” We had the drums set up in the hallway and the guitars in the living room. We steamed in and put the entire album down. Peter told us that if we were quick, we could probably use the studio to lay a couple of tracks down. “Led Zeppelin had a mobile studio together at Headley Grange all ready to go, but they were delayed for two weeks. “We were bursting at the seams to get into the recording studio,” says Rodgers. Because of their association with Grant, a unique opportunity arose for them when it came time to record that classic first album in November 1973. Their 1974 self-titled debut went platinum five times over and featured the smash hits, “Can’t Get Enough,” (a Number One single) and “Movin’ On” along with electrifying rock anthems like “Ready For Love,” “Rock Steady” and the title track. As soon as Peter heard how strongly I felt about the name, he became very supportive and together we turned the record company around.”īad Company was an instant hit worldwide. We agreed to go in and tell them that we were going to be called Bad Company and that was the end of the story. I told them that I had been through this before with Free as Island Records had wanted to call us the Heavy Metal Kids. Peter Grant called a meeting and the band met beforehand. “I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company,” explains Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin’s Swan Song label. Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers.
