As a San Diego fitness trainer I subscribe to e-newsletters and flip through the popular fitness magazines on occasion to see what’s new and trendy and what tips, advice, and lies they are telling to the common consumer and more importantly, my clients. Woman’s Health magazine has come out with a new 21 day workout plan that they are offering to consumers free with the intention of hooking them into a six week program for $40. So every few days I get another email about how I am going to become a whole new person with their super secret plan designed to make me sexy, thin without losing my curves.
Here is the exact email:

ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?!?!
Let’s give everyone a complex about how they currently look, dupe them into paying us $40 for a generalized program that isn’t specifically designed for them, with promises of helping them blast belly flat, increase breast size, lean thighs, and become a whole new person in just 6 weeks! They are setting people up to believe that they are gonna accomplish this all in a short time, so if they don’t they are going to feel like a failure, and most likely quit working out, binge, or extremely restrict calories.
Wow, thank you so much Woman’s Health for sabotaging every woman’s self-confidence and own idea of fitness changes and adaptations. So now when I get a new client whom is a reader of your magazine she is going to have this skewed idea that we can just target areas to lose weight, which is utterly impossible, and that we can just melt fat with a snap and she will be a whole new woman in just 6 weeks. Even the BEST fitness professionals can’t offer this. So what makes Woman’s Health, a staff team made up of journalists and a few “celeb trainers” have the secret to this? Can they also fly, walk on water, and read minds? Please.
Do yourself a favor and don’t buy into these magazines. It’s only going to mislead you and get you more confused. Read articles from actual health and fitness professionals that have degrees, and years of experience and qualifications to back up what they claim. Better yet, follow my blogs.
Beneficial info and excellent design you got here! I want to thank you for sharing your ideas and putting the time into the stuff you publish! Great work!
