Scan the internet or just do it!!!

If you want to get fit these days, there is so much information out there, its not true! I wouldn’t call most of it “information”, i would call it MIS-INFORMATION!

If all of this worked that’s presented on the internet, then how come the obesity epidemic is still rising at an alarming rate, over 60% of the general population is considered overweight, adults and children are getting bigger and bigger, the NHS is crumbling under the pressure of adults in this country being overweight and all the negatives that brings, etc etc?!!!

The truth is that most of us have become lost under the weight of all this mis-information and we have forgotten “how to do it”!!

From dvd’s of so-called celebrities cashing in, to so called fitness “experts” demonstrating exercises in the media so complicated just to show how much “knowledge” they really have when in fact the opposite may well be true. Some could be considered helpful, many could be considered in the group of “a little knowledge is dangerous”!!

We can literally scan the internet all day long and come up with about 1000 different solutions on how to get fit. You used to exercise to get fit and healthy, but have you noticed now its mainly about “losing weight” rather than the health aspect anymore.

It is mostly about peddling dubious products that are usually about as helpful as a handbrake on a canoe, or in some cases downright dangerous.

In the dangerous column, you have two massive companies gone bankrupt over the last two years on their claims about losing weight through “fat-burners”. These tablets usually include ephedra which can put severe strain on your heart, and in some cases have killed people in the USA.  They promise the world, often they deliver misery through ill health.

The bottom line is that if you see adverts in the paper, tv or internet promising you things seemingly too good to be true, then they usually are that, TOO good to be true and downright fraudulent in nearly every case.

Same with exercise equipement, they will claim madonna uses it, or so and so uses it, but in reality this is rarely the case. Quite interesting to see someone else claiming to train madonna, that is around the 7th trainer i have heard of in the last 5-6 years. Either she’s not happy with her trainer or people just claiming to train her to peddle some product or to get some “acclaim”.

The bottom line for me and in any business is to retain clients and all the individuals or businesses i train right now have been training for many years, so i have no need to make fraudulent claims like these bogus companies! These fraudulent companies need too start producing real long lasting results, rather than latching on to some celebrity that they think will take them to the promised land.

We talk on here all the time about doing the fundamentals/basics all the time and you won’t need any of the fancy stuff. You WILL get amazing results from doing the tried and tested in terms of workouts and eating, thats a fact and deep down, you really know that even if you have spent hours on the internet “trying to get into shape”!

Its time to put down the computer and get off your backside and get out there and train, simple as that and JUST DO IT!!! There’s heck of a lot of difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it!!! Lets go!
