We have become lazy. The sedentary lifestyle is too common and overeating poor quality processed foods is too convenient. Why? We, the so called "superior lifeforms of the planet" have researched, engineered and developed so much technology to assist us in making things easier that we now want bodies that we didn't earn let alone deserve. Plastic surgery, electrolysis, and all these superficial methods to "keep up with the Jones'" or should I say Kardashians. It used to be you earned what you worked for, now its about who you can screw over and how you can pay for things to be done for you. It's sad.
Lets start with all these miracle fad diets. Obviously implemented to make money on your failure. These things are established because the average person is not knowledgeable in nutrition or making decisions for themselves. This person will fall for anything. They plan these out in so many ways, all ending with you falling off of the wagon, gaining your weight back, and then buying their product or trying a new one. Whether it's shaking this on your food, going 50% liquid intake, ready to eat meals delivered to your door and my favorite, the whatever this celebrity did diet. Either way you give your money to someone for something you could have been managing on your own with your normal budget and decision making at your grocery store. What you should be paying for is the education. A one time fee of guidance for a lifestyle, not something in preparation for the summer, or your wedding but for the rest of your life.
Now lets talk about these belts and girdles.The ads say something like "tired of crunches?", "is working out is just too hard?" You seen these before so lets push. First the Girdle, as if people didn't lie to each other enough about who they are lets put an elastic band around your torso to give the appearance of a flatter, slimmer you. They say all these things to benefit you on the outside but what about the inside. What about the overuse that could be weakening your core. NOT JUST YOUR ABS, YOUR CORE. the entire trunk system that keeps you upright and holds your guts in. Then we got the electric belts that sends "painless electro-pulses" while sitting on the couch to give you a quick six pack by involuntarily contracting your muscles. I will say it again, INVOLUNTARILY. The whole reason muscles are the way they are is because we train our brains to contract the muscle. It's called Neuromuscular Coordination. Without you using your brain to send the message you can not utilize the strength, or muscle you are developing. But it does look like you did 100 situps a day....
It shouldn't be so easy. Cutting and stuffing your face, breast and butt to look a certain way is stupid, I'm not going to elaborate anymore on that. Plastic Surgeons writing their own tickets for being glorified taxidermist. Okay, now I'm done. The point is is that no one wants to work hard or sweat anymore. I see so many people come into the health club I work at in full make up, hair done and move on the elliptical for an hour while reading novels and magazines and not get their heart rate above 50% let alone the 67% needed to cause some sort of change. We need to do more, if anything our children will follow our lack of activity and unhealthy habits. I don't care what form of exercise it is, just doing something that makes you breathe hard for at least 30-60 minutes a day and think about what you shove in your face. You deserve more but you have to work for it to get it.
