Attention...This Post is NOT About Exercise

That's right.  I just visited one of my favorite sites on the web, which is Seth Godin's Blog.  You can click on his picture there to visit his site.

With personal trainers and fitness sites in general, I usually see a lot of hype.  You know the sites with the big headlines in red..."Lose That Belly Fat in Less Than 2 Weeks, Secrets Revealed"...and then they grab your email for that "special report".  I say what a bunch of crap!

I know that I'm going to hear it from some personal trainer who do this type of marketing...but I really don't care.  I'm tired of the fitness industry preying on people.  That's really what it is.  Pretending that there is some magical pill, or "secret" renegade routine that will "melt pounds" by buying an e-book is getting a little old.

I hope that you choose your trainer by things that really matter.  Such things as experience, education, integrity, results, and honesty.  Please don't be scammed into so much of the crap that is floating around on the web.

I'd love to hear what scams and sites you think are the worst.  Please leave favorites in the comment section below.
