Reasons why the gym sucks! Better Fitness, Better Health, Better Life!

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

After thinking about it, I came up with Six Reasons the Gym SUCKS:

1.) Everyone else is going to the gym. And they suck.
Did you ever notice that when you look around the gym, everybody is doing the same thing? Like so many sheep, mindlessly plodding away with the misinformation from fitness magazines. People just go to the gym and do whatever everybody else is doing.

Have you ever noticed that when you walk into the gym and you see the same women on the same treadmills, doing the same 4 mile run, that they STILL look the same as they did 5 months ago.

I am sure you have seen the women spending hours at a time on ellipticals, bikes, and treadmills- sadly getting nowhere fast. Listen up ladies- you NEED to start doing some resistance training and cut those cardio sessions down to 20 minutes of intense interval training to get rid of the hip, thigh, and belly fat that is spilling out of your jeans.

And then there are also those wanna-be meathead guys trying to build their mirror muscles (abs, chest, biceps) with the Mr. Gargantuous (professional bodybuilder) routine and super supplement. “I switched my routine up from 4 sets of 10 to 5 sets of 8. Muscle confusion!”

Did you notice that you are exactly the same as you were a year ago? It ain’t the muscle that’s confused, son.

Interval Training For Fat Loss

Interval Strength Training For Serious Fat Loss

By Josh Henkin

Let’s face it, fat loss is generally a primary goal for many programs. Athlete or non-athlete alike, people would like to be leaner, stronger, and more athletic. However, if there is one thing popular media promotes and most people desire is that lean athletic body.

Often though we are led to believe that strength training and fat loss don’t work together. I have heard coaches and trainers tell their clients to perform “cardio” as the best method of losing fat. Generally this includes what is known as long duration, low intensity exercise. An example would include performing a 50% effort on a treadmill for a duration of 45 minutes.
