Never in my life did I ever think I would see people sitting down and trying to replicate dance moves. I just goes beyond the laws of physics… you are supposed to “Get up and Dance!”.

Please can someone please tell how this piece of shit gives you a “full body workout” as it says in big white letters about a minute or so into the video? … and while you are answering that question, help me figure out why all the people in the beginning of the commercial are standing and doing regular dance moves that look nothing like the “moves” they do on the “Rhythm Rocker”.

Don’t get me wrong I do see actual practical application for this “Rhythm Rocker”. I think for the severely obese it would be a wonderful tool to get them moving in some way… but the reality is that the thin metal frame would buckle under the weight. If you watch the video you will see that no one is really that overweight (which was the intention).

This product only costs $99.99 retail. So that means it cost less than $20.00 to make. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t trust anything that cost that little to hold up anything but a stuffed animal in the corner.

Just a little FYI- The Rhythm Rocker is brought to you by the same company who sells “The Body Shaper” and “The Bra Bust Cups”. So when you think about it, The Rythm Rocker will just be another accessory in your bedroom or closet to do nothing for your “real” body.

Click the video below but don’t watch the whole 28 minutes… the fist 3 minutes will suffice.

This is absolutely classic fitness stupidity. BodyRockTV has over 6 million views on this video alone and I would have to believe that it isn’t because Zuzanna has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training. She is abundant in something but I can’t really put my finger… um… hands… can’t take my eyes off of… well who needs to know how to count when you have assets like these.

By the way, did I tell you this is a really intense butt and leg workout!

I can hear the bbbboinggggg!!!!! of woody’s popping up in 13 year old… ok… 30 year old pants across America. It just goes to show you get a nice pair of breasts, keep them barely wrangled in and have a Russian/ Ukrainian accent and you can dispense fitness advice to over 6 million people.

Zuzanna… I hope you can get that balancing act thing down before your next video… I know how it can be when you trying to lean forward with all “that” going for you. Oh and your triceps happen to “not” be a pulling muscle… you may have meant… and this is a stretch here… biceps, but who am I.

When you stop laughing at this incredible lack of fitness knowledge please take a look at a real fitness program to lose weight fast.

No 14 year old unless it’s a 14 year old gorilla, should ever even come within 300 lbs of 500 lbs. You would have to shovel… and I mean with a big shovel, shovel food into this kids mouth from when he was concieved until he is 14.

What was anyone thinking when the kid weighed in at over 300lbs when he was 12?  That he might just start sloughing fat off 20lbs at a time.  Maybe they thought he was going to take his 14 year old brain and go on some radical exercises and diet program all by himself… have you seen his mother? She doesn’t look like she’s ever passed up a Golden Corral in her life.

As a matter of fact I bet they have their own “labeled” trough at “The Golden Corral”.   No one can get that fat with out a lot of encouragement.

I’m not big on the government intervening in our personal lives but this is real child abuse.  There is no “medical” condition to blame this on just absolute neglect.

Here is the story in it’s entirety… leave me a comment and tell me what you think.  I am still freaked out by this. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/WellnessNews/story?id=7941609

Welcome to “REV ABS”… REV ABS… Say it louder!

You could do Ab crunches all day… and you could still be getting ripped off!

Memorable phrases like: “He doesn’t drink a six pack… he wears it!”… make me wonder if they have real professional writers scripting this stuff.  I want to know if I drink a six pack will REV ABS also get me drunk?

I’m just saying!

In my time as a Fitness Professional I have heard every “made” up phrase or “fitness word” to try to get you to think that an info-mercial fitness product is revolutionary.

Just because there’s some new made up words, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you should go run out and buy this “Rev Abs” program.  Some of my favorite made up words are:

1. Ab-centrics.. obviously… because the Abs are a central part of this program.  Wow, that’s a stretch!

2. Upper flexion – of what? Torso… chest, back, head or just for the fuck of it!

3. Lower flexion – I’m now starting to piss my pants!

4. … and before I really lose control of my bowels… “DOUBLE FLEXION”.  You would have to me the hottest “Personal Trainer” in New York City to come up with that … absolute BULLSHIT!

So is “REV ABS” a “Total Body Workout” ( like every stupid ass program out there) or is it “Ab-centric”… now I’m confused.

You tell me after you watch the video below:

Protein Shakes are Toxic!

Posted by: Rocco Castellano | Comments (0)

I literally almost shit my pants when this report came out. I wanted to release it when the media did but I wanted to do my “own” due diligence.

In many instances there is usually someone or some company with an agenda behind one of these studies… and I refuse to get caught up in that stupidity.

This time it is a “true” report and some of the popular protein drinks and meal replacement drinks do have high levels of toxins than I or any of you would like.

To tell you the truth… I’m a little baffled to why anyone or any company would have let this go unmonitored… to allow their product to be infused with toxins… is beyond my scope of thinking.

As a branding expert, fitness professional and just someone who cares about the public health… I’d probably recommend they make sure there was no toxins in something I sold… but that’s just me.

Checkout this video and tell me what you think of this report.
