Are you kidding me?  This is a ‘fitness routine that works’?  And many people, including the person that gave this article to me look at this as great information. Why? Maybe it gives the appearance of being useful because the author has chosen to include all buzz words  to get your attention and fool you into believing that these great  things will WORK…balancing on beam, rather than the boring floor; the reliable dreadmill; the Pilates ring; medicine balls and stability balls; she trained her biceps with hammer curls twice; works her obliques  and does lots of core work.  Oh, and let’s not forget about that intellectual, scientific term that spreading like wildfire in the gyms ‘muscle confusion’….it’s so….physiological, isn’t it? 

It seems that the buzz is the hook that grabs desperate people. Perhaps there is nothing bad about what Martha does, and it may even serve some folks that need some inspiration, even from Martha.  The phrase that gets me is how it is called ‘A fitness routine that works’.  For who?  How does this work I question? January is gaa-gaa month in the fitness industry.  Typically, every year there is nothing new yet, those out of a desperate plea for help we fall into the trap of inspiration by those who apparently do great things and tell us about it. There really is nothing great here from Martha. Sorry, trainer, Mary.   

Sometimes the only confusion is understanding why information like this is one that supposedly works.  Buzz creates the confusion in your head and all that your muscles do is what they are supposed to do.  It’s you that gets confused with a proposition like the one above. You are smarter than that…
