So here I am, having some scrambled eggs while watching the latest gadget news on G4 Tech tv to pet and stroke my inner geek. As they are talking, I hear the words “and we will be right back..”
We all know what that means, ADS! Well I wanted to get up and grab some juice but as I got up, my ears caught some words from my TV and I came to a halt. “Workout without doing exercises…” it said (or something equally absurd)
So I turned around to see what the hell was going on. Yup, ANOTHER fitness product that promises the 6 pack abs but this time, WITHOUT “dieting” and WITHOUT working out. These claims are getting more ridiculous everyday.
What exactly were they talking about? A little gadget that you can find right here: http://www.infomercialratings.com/product/slendertone_flex
It’s called the “Slendertone Flex(R)” and right now I am going to give you my opinion that I am rightfully entitled to, being a resident of the free world.
ITS BULLSHIT!
No WONDER people are becoming unhealthy and obese these days. This magic-pill solution has clouded everyone’s mind about what actually works. Now im not saying everyone will fall into this gimmick trap and hand over an excess of $100 to buy this load of crap. But… you know as well as I do, that it WILL happen.
Becoming healthy and living an active life is NOT hard… it just seems that way when you have such a rapid-fire onsalught of mis-information. What you need to do is find a source of knowledge (it can be a person, a product, what ever) and see the results first hand.
Find a personal trainer who practices what he preaches, find a book and make sure the author isn’t some slob living in a basement apartment. Read and research studies done by people who are NOT funded by supplement companies.
Once you have true knowledge, then take action and APPLY it. You will be FAR better off than 80% of the population who have no idea where to begin.

What am I saying by stating this quote?
Am I saying that your journey to health be an up-hill battle? OFCOURSE NOT
Am I saying that EVERY fitness product is bogus? NO… only most
Am I saying that I am the only person who knows this stuff? Absolutely not
Seek the truth… that’s what I’m saying!
