Spot Reducing has been shown to be a myth...unless you count plastic surgery and liposuction, then yes, it's possible but very expensive and painful.<br /><br />Ab rollers, those electrical stimulation gizmos, the Perfect Sit-Up, Iron Gym, BowFlex, Kettlebells, and on and on are all completely worthless if the person who orders them actually uses them regularly, EATS A HEALTHY DIET, and performs cardiovascular exercises. The big problem is in the advertising; it's misleading at best. The wording of the commercials infer the trainee's ability to get washboard abs by just performing a few minutes a day of the exercise. What is normally left out of the ad, save for the TINY, tiny fine print at the bottom of the screen, is the fact that a trainee must eat a healthy diet, perform cardio, and the results are not typical.<br /><br />America is a country still consumed by the need for "Instant Gratification" and we want everything the easy way. People hate to sweat and breathe hard but as we can see from every day life, America needs to start working hard. Our easy way of life has vaulted to the status of World's Most Obese Nation. We are supposed to be a leading nation, THE nation among nations. Yet we are grossly overweight and out of shape.<br /><br />Gimmick products like the Ab Roller can help, but you won't lose weight and you won't get a six-pack without hard work and clean eating. You can definitely strengthen your abs but without getting rid of the fat that lies on top of them, what's the point of wasting your money?James Baylis of Perfect Personal Training - Houstonhttp://perfectpersonaltraining.comnoreply@blogger.com
