Overweight? It’s the advertising

November 5, 2010

I need no more proof that we are victims of advertising then the envy I feel whenever I see people driving nice cars.
I do not need a nice car, it won’t help me in any way. It won’t help with my goals or even my dreams…but the advertising does effect me. I do ’see’ the prestige involved in owning a nice car every time I pull up beside one at a stop sign.
This is an example of nothing other than the power of advertising, and it’s just as strong in the food industry as it is in the car industry.
Now, you might expect me to get on my soap box and start telling you to accept responsibility for your current weight.
But, that wouldn’t be entirely fair of me.
Because before you can accept responsibility, you do need to recognize who the villain is.
And I believe we are being taken advantage […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
