4 reasons magazine-style workouts don't work
by Chad Howse author of Powerhouse Metabolism



I used to be hooked on my favorite fitness magazines. I'd faithfully
wait for each new issue to come out and then snatch them up off
the news stand.

I did all the workouts and tried all the diets.

You see, I've always been into sports. I played basketball right up
to college level. But I always had a bit of a body image issue.

So I thought I'd find the answers in those bright, shiny magazines. :-)

Unfortunately, most of the time they just made matters worse. I
got caught up in a mass of confused principles that actually
made my body look WORSE.

Since then I've learned a thing or two. In fact, I've even become
a regular contributor to some of those magazines. But I strive
to make sure the information I publish is no-nonsense, useful
and that it works.

You see, not all the info in the magazines is bad. You just need
to have a critical eye...

Here are 4 warning signs I look for. If you detect any of them,
turn the page!

1. The program or diet was written for people who aren't "natural"

If the program you're reading about was written for a physique
competitor or a bodybuilder, turn the page immediately. I have
many "insider" friends in the industry, and I can assure you that
most of them have a fair bit of "pharmacological assistance."

That means programs written for them will NOT work for you.
You don't enjoy the same capacity for recovery, muscle growth
or fatloss they do...

2. The editors chose them for their flashy "hook"

I once read an article about a "pumpkin" workout in a fitness
magazine. It was around Halloween, and they were suggesting
you do your workout with a pumpkin. I mean c'mon... I don't
mind attaching a fun "hook" to get you interested in one of my
workouts, but there still needs to be substance behind what's
being presented.

3. The workouts are incomplete

When I write a new program for a client, I can't fit everything they
need onto two pages. Yet most magazine authors are lucky to get
that much space for their articles. Obviously, unless it's just a tip
or a short piece of advice, it's pretty hard to fit a complete
program in that amount of space. So if that's what's being touted--
a complete training program--don't fall for it.

4. They aren't realistic

This one takes many different forms. Sometimes the author promises
6 pack abs in 4 weeks with only 6 minutes per day (and no diet to
go along with it). Or maybe the article assures you that you can
build Arnold-like arms with nothing but some 1 gallon jugs of
water as resistance. Or the cover of the mag sports a headline
like "Your Total Body Workout, In Just 4 Minutes." I'm sure
you can smell a rat... Just be wary of the claims.

I'm not saying there aren't short cuts. You can get massive results
with very little time if you do it right. But there WILL be some
hard work, intensity and investment involved. If not, we'd all
be walking around looking like magazine cover models...

OK, there you have it. If you think you're being hoodwinked by
one of those 4 things, just turn the page.

And like I said, you can get shocking results blazingly fast. But
it does take some intensity.
