Fit for Mama: fitness gimmicks

Friday, March 19th, 2010 in Fit for Mama

By Kayla Johnson

Have you ever been “sucked in” by an fitness infomercial? Here’s ten signs that a fitness trend is a gimmick:

1. It sounds too good to be true.

2. It targets one body part.

3. It fails to mention diet or nutrition.

4. The dramatic results are what is interesting.

5. The inventor has no credentials.

6. It’s no different than any other fitness gimmick.

7. It’s too hard or too easy to use.

8. The testimonials are from paid actors (“dramatization”).

9. It has numerous negative reviews online.

10. You have to have it right now.

Take the time to think through what you are buying. Remember, what really matters is calories burned, muscle strength and proper nutrition.
