Collected Fitness Wisdom #48

Just because your new workout program didn't give you the body of a champion during the first three weeks, doesn't mean it's not working. Health and fitness are lifelong endeavors there are no quick fixes here, so be patient and give your new program the time it requires to get you some appreciable results.

I Don’t Have Time

Ah, one of the most popular excuses. Do you have time for you significant other? Do you have time to watch TV? If so, then you have time to do whatever you want. You only don’t have the time if it is something you don’t want to do. If you want to do it, you will always find the time.

I'm always getting asked how to lose weight from a certain problem area, but no matter where you want to target, the answer is the same: Spot reduction doesn't work. If the Booty Blaster on TV promises that you'll lose inches off your rear, it's lying! There is no way to slim down, lose water weight or trim inches from a specific area of the body just by working that body part. If you have body fat that is hiding your muscles, only a calorie-controlled diet combined with a sound exercise program (that also burns calories via cardio) will solve the problem.

I want to throw myself out the window when I see the things they do on The Biggest Loser. I’m worried about doing a proper squat and they have these people running sprints and doing box jumps.
