Fitness Tip - Infomercials
>> May 17, 2009
It seems these days there are so many new fitness gimics out there it’s hard to stomach as a personal trainer. From infomercials promising a six-pack in 6 weeks by just dancing, to phoney doctors selling weight loss in a pill. Dancing for 15 minutes a day is a great start into fitness but a six-pack you will not get. Magic Pills that make you lose incredible amounts of fat, I think they sell those next to the beans Jack bought.
One thing to remember when analysing these products is, if it is so easy why isn’t everyone walking around with a beach body. The truth is that it takes hard work, dedication to a program, and internal drive to achieve those fitness goals. The great thing about having a personal trainer is that we make sure you are putting in the hard work, we create a program for you to follow which will get you to your goals as soon as possible, and we push you to help you find that inner drive. Even commercials advertising machines promising amazing results, well, you might see initial results but one of the most important aspects of fitness is muscle confusion.
When you workout the same muscle the same way for too long, your body stops adapting and growing, it gets bored. You should be always changing routines, and in certain cases repetitions and sets, every 6-8 weeks. Put time in at the gym, following Canada’s Food Guide for basic nutrition, and being consistent will get you to see the results you are looking for. A combination of weight training, cardiovascular training, and nutrition is the most efficient way to achieve weight loss.
