Info-mercurial
If you have never stayed up late to watch an infomercial, then you may not get some of the things that I am about to mention. Infomercials are entirely hit or miss. Some of the products that are publicized make it to gyms, clinics, and hospitals. Namely, the Total Gym is a popular item that has been "infomercialized". I personally deem it as the best infomercialized fitness tool.

Then, however, there are products such as the Shake Weight and Vibro Shape, a vibrating shape slimming belt. Seriously, if fitness were that easy that you need to be shaken or you need to shake something then there would not be any gyms, personal trainers, nutrition plans, or anything else associated with sustainable and effective health and fitness.

We would just shake.

Really.

So far, I have never seen any of the fitness gurus and intellects endorse or use any product that warrants very little work. Why? Because you have to work correctly in order to move correctly. If you belong to a gym or have a gym in your building, count how many pieces of exercise equipment have been on infomercials. I will say that the fewer the number the better equipped is your gym.

By the way, dancing is the best shake trimming tool in which you can participate. Have you ever seen an out of shape professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars?...Neither have I.

O.P.P.
No, the group, Naughty By Nature will not be making an appearance in this topic. I'm talking about the exercise version of Outdoor Playground Parts. Sorry to bust your bubble. I know you started singing the song. But, outdoor playground gyms are coming up with a vengeance.

I have to admit that I tried one out on Labor Day. I must say that the OPP's are convenient and very straightforward to use. They are especially more purposeful than a Shake Weight or Vibro Shape. Lastly, OPP's are free!! You do have to get the past the fact that OPP's have fixed resistances, are isolated, are crowded on nice days and in active areas, and are not the best means to a gym.

However, if you are running, walking, hiking, or biking try one out.

Just letting you know that I have third part to this e-newsletter/blog completed. It's a short home exercise program that you can follow, especially if you are a beginner. The special thing that I want to do for you is supply you with pictures of the exercises other than what is already on the Internet. HAHPN - September 2010 #3 will contain the workout. The blog will contain the images.

Be fit. Be healthy. Be well.
