I know you've all seen various ads on working out. Some with (or without) equipment, celebrity endorsements, dance moves, kama sutra positions, etc. Every single one shows the same thing.
Some ripped man and/or woman demonstrates it like it's now big deal. Firm arms, chest, legs, butt, etc. Muscles so tight that you can bounce a quarter off your butt, or wash clothes with those abs. It's not like only gym customers use that equipment. You don't really need a whole room of equipment to do the job either. Ask anyone that trained in the military or trained in martial arts. Basic weights are just fine.
Why is it that they don't document a slightly overweight person use the machine over a period of time and eating right ? TV has the magic to shorten time with before and after pictures (so does Photoshop). On top of that, people also forget that eating right goes with exercise. It's sad to see people believe that pills that do it for you or calling Jenny Craig will help you on your weight loss.
Jenny Craig is an insult to anyone that knows how to cook ... and to your pocketbook. "My own home cooking can't help me lose weight ?!" Why can't you just talk with a nutritionist about healthy eating ?! A friend of mine showed me what she eats and it made me wonder. Most grade school kids get more for their buck compared to that small serving. If this worked out for you, congratulations. Remember that everyone's body, and health history can vary. One thing won't work for the other person.
Don't even get me started with Carnie Wilson and her gastric bypass surgery. Ever seen "Celebrity Fit Club" on VH1. There's your answer. Look at Star Reynolds, do you want to look "weird" or rather look natural after losing weight ?
That choice is up to you.
