There are plenty of fitness programs out there making lots of unrealistic claims.
Losing 20 pounds in 6 weeks is probably the most famous one of all time.
And it worked … to a point.
Did people lose 20 pounds – or more – in just 6 weeks?
Yup … they sure did.
But in many cases, one of the following – or both – happened:
- The 20 pounds came back
- Injuries
You see, losing weight with an extreme exercise regimen and/or a starvation diet can and will melt off the pounds in a pretty short amount of time. But since these activities aren’t sustainable, the weight has a tendency to come right back.
Also, these types of programs are focused on one thing: weight loss. And more than that, they’re focused on a specific amount of weight loss in a specific amount of time.
What they’re not focused on is injury prevention and joint health, which is what people should really want as they get older.
Now, I have to admit, marketing a program called “Stronger Joints in 6 Weeks” would be a pretty tall order. The best marketer in the world would have trouble selling that.
But wouldn’t a program that taught you how to exercise and eat sustainably – while building a strong foundation of bone density and joint health – be something you’d want?
I hope so … because that’s really the key to long-term success.
Something to think about as you decide what kind of fitness program is right for you.
The quick fix? Or the long game?
