7 minute abs

This is a great scene from one of the funniest movies ever. It also demonstrates the absurdity of most of the fitness infomercial industry.
I love it when the character has a “brain freeze” when a six minute abs program is suggested. They do a great job showing how ridiculous the whole thing is. The challenge is that this theme is most common among most TV fitness solutions.

Not all fitness and weight loss programs are total B.S. However, The truth is most of them are really nonsense.

Prevent Swine Flu

Swine_Flu_Spreads_sm

There is so much talk about swine flu. The media will make you think that you’d better not leave your house or else swine will jump on you in some cold dark alley.

I’m no medical expert so I will limit my comments. However, I do believe that the media’s job is to keep us (the public) off-balance, afraid and unfocused on our goals. In any event, the swine flu is a real threat. In recognition of this fact I want to share some great information for you and your family on how you can stay safe and away from swine flu.

The Myth of Exercise?

Time Cover

(This was sent to Time Magazine regarding the cover article dated August 17th, 2009)

I am writing to address the Time magazine front cover article “The Myth about exercise” by John Cloud.

Many if not most of the people who exercise do so for the purpose weight loss or weight maintenance.  Therefore, my first issue is that the title of the article makes the suggestion that exercising is not well worth the effort. Since your article implies that exercise will not assist in the weight loss process it may preclude some people to participate in this healthy practice despite your caveat on the cover stating: “of course it’s good for you.”

Take your clothes off


This post is actually a call to get those
clothes off your home exercise equipment.
It’s cliche’ to use home equipment as clothes
racks. I am looking to start a campaign for
people to begin taking their clothes off and start
start using their treadmill, stationary bikes and
pull up bars for what they were designed for.
Join me in taking your clothes off.

Leave a comment letting me know about your experience.

BIG… scam

bob_art_160_20080827152934

It seems as though the truth has ridden to the top regarding the mystery of “male enhancement”.

Steve Warshak, the CEO of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals was sentenced to 25 years for consumer fraud just about 1 year ago. I am sure you have seen his popular smiling Bob commercials for the product, enzyte.

Looking for motivation

motivationI am working on a presentation on passion and motivation for next week. I was kind of reaching for ideas when an old friend reached out to me for some words of encouragement on how to get started  back with her exercise plan. She had a goal of running a half marathon. She completed but can’t find it in herself to get started again. Here is what I wrote to her. Maybe it will help you. Read more…

How the Food industry deceives you!

My wife constantly calls me a conspiracy
theorist. My ego is not so fragile that I need
to be validated by news stories. However,
it does feel good to know that investigations
point to the possibility that I might be right.
This is a five part series and well worth
your time.

Let me know your thoughts

Trainer Struggles to lose weight

fattrainerThis post pertains to the news story regarding the personal trainer in Australia who put on 90 pounds in an attempt to identify with his clients. You can see the ABC report
on Youtube. Before you go looking for the video read this. I will provide a link at the end of this post.

First of all I must say that this is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my life of 43 years. This man is an unbounded, confounded fool. First of all, to become obese so you can understand your clients is like a financial planner purposely going broke. Or maybe it’s like a dentist purposely letting his teeth rot. Or it could be like an oncologist purposely doing everything possible to contract cancer. All done for sake of understanding clients? Horse manure!
This is ridiculous, unscrupulous and outright unprofessional.

Next he’ll help the poverty stricken by becoming one of them. He states that he’s doing this for the purpose of empathizing with his clients. Well listen and hear me good.

A shot in the butt

steroid-injections-1We are living in an interesting time. There are now words in the American vocabulary like “Enron”, “Tyco”, “Performance Enhancement drug”, “Bernie Madoff” and the list goes on and on. It makes me wonder if anything is real anymore. You see a guy or girl driving a beautiful car and you wonder was that obtained from corporate buy out money that left stock holders losing their life’s savings. If you see someone with a terrific physique was that the result of chemical enhancement. It makes me wonder. Read more…
