Thread: Fitness Equipment/gym - which one?

Here's a quick graphic about the various Hight Intensity Interval Training methods bouncing around the fitness world...

... and for those of us who have the prosperous profile.... take heart, the American Medical Cartel - oops - Association has formerly declared Obesity to be a disease, which , "like other diseases, has multifactorial causes and can be addressed through behavioral, medical, and surgical treatments."

Only in America.... but it won't stay there when our AMA realizes the money to be milked from it...

If it means action, surely that's a good thing?

Either way I will be in work for a long, long time I think

Action in the bank accounts of Big Pharma, - Yes.

Problem is, any reduction in average obesity will only come at the co$t of profits.... profits of 'edible stomach-filler' manufacturers as well as a sizeable section of the beverage industry.

- Regardless of the Biggest Loser and other similar shows, 'exercise' as such has only a minor effect on the scales... But great for mental/emotional benefits along with general fitness and CV improvement etc etc.

But losing 10 to 40 kg (or more) of visceral and belly-fat? - Nope. Only a radical change to what goes down the hatch - and more importantly, what does NOT - is going to alter the waistlines. - Plus a good dose of honestly and/or competance from the medical world.

Since that is'nt likely (see Big Pharma above....) a better course of action is to ignore the lettered loons pretending to be leading experts....and have a look at Science Journalists, the Alternative Scene and maybe Astrologers....

Or just go back to the original knowledge and data and draw your own conclusions, unemcumbered by current 'wisdom'.

I've lost a heap of fat, dropped a couple of sizes, gained some weight back as muscle, fitter, healthier, better blood figures etc and less depression.... by totally violating Current Medical Advice by my food choices...and using a gym. (Exercise for fun and fitness)

No apologies for the bluntness, as a Type II diabetic, I'm very very angry that information that would have halted the progression (and damage) of this condition has not only been witheld, but patently incorrect propaganda has been foisted onto us for over a generation. The alternative explanation is that 'they' have NO idea what the root causes of obesity are... or indeed how the body functions.

Ooohhh verrrry cynical my man. But I wholly agree.

I'm just optimistic that people will take the whole thing more seriously, that being overweight/obese and not being able to do anything about it (next person to say 'I have thyroid problems' gets a punch in the trachea) is bs.
Or at least take responsibility for what they are ramming down their throats and say 'I did this to myself'.

If everyone put a higher priority on quality food, imagine the positive changes that would occur. Too much to go into here.

Joseph Pilates and Erwan Le Corre (and by extension, Georges Herbert) are a couple of my personal heroes, I'd love to see some of their philosophies embraced and taught in schools.
