Another Contraption


If I have to listen to one more commercial for a "fitness" device that slims your midline in just weeks I might actually put my fist through a wall. As an exercise physiologist the science to support those sweeping statements just isn't there. Yet, most of my clients admit that they have an ab roller, coaster, rocket, lounge or blaster stashed in some dark corner of their closet. The bottom line is people will always search for a quick fix! Sorry folks our bodies just don't work that way. Time, a little sweat, and a bit of work reign supreme. Here is an important tip: if the makers claim that the total pounds lost is more than the total weeks it takes then the total cost was NOT worth the investment. Kudos to your intentions. Your heart was in the right place. Keep your motivation up and your TV off and hit the gym for some sound advice.
