TMHS 037: 7 Fitness Fads That Don't Work (Don't Waste Your Time, Energy, Or Money!)

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're covering some of the trendy, "hot" products in the fitness world today. Every week dozens of new, interesting fitness and health devices are hitting the market. Many of them claim that they can help you to lose weight and burn fat faster, but does the science really back them up? We've got to have a more discerning and conscious mind when investing our time and money into these new fitness trends. Sure, science is going to uncover better and more efficient ways of getting a better body, but 9 times out of ten it's still going to come back to the basics: eat real food, do intense exercise a few times a week, and sleep like you're going to get paid for it. Healthy diet plans and exercising for fat loss often take a backseat when the newest, hottest fitness trend hits the scene. Can a product that says using it can get you the benefit of 45 minutes of exercise in just 6 minutes be real? Well, we're about to go deep into that subject matter to find out if any of these things truly stack up. In this episode you'll discover: The psychology used to induce people to buy these trendy weight loss and fitness products.
