So as are many of you, I am so very interested in The Biggest Loser TV show. I love to watch the 2 minute out takes at the end of each season, all in a row and see how determined the people are and how even more determined they are when they get kicked off or make the cut to lose weight. The stories of each person are inspiring to even the most insane fitness enthusiast.
But what worries me is the thought that many people actually think it is safe and possible to lose the amounts of weight those people are losing in such a short period of time. The show alludes to double digit weight loss in a week and if the participants don't lose that weight, they are shunned and kicked off the show. What are we teaching our country?
All fitness and nutrition guidelines say that between 1-2 pounds a week is healthy weight loss, yet these people workout 4 hours a day and under insane conditions. We think it is cool that they have personal trainers that swear and scream at them while they scream right back.
Reality is actually not like the Biggest Loser. Reality is a struggle to lose the 2 pounds that are safe each week while balancing work, family and life. Reality lies in develop a supportive group of trainers that encourage you to be healthy and to not overtrain and to eat the right foods in the right amounts. In my opinion, reality is boot camp.
And how much fun can that be! With The American Boot Camp Company you get a 5 to 1 client to instructor ratio, much like The Biggest Loser TV show, but none of the drama from the trainers or other participants. You get only encourage trainers that believe in you. You get a healthy eating plan that teaches you about portion control, proper food choices and keeping your energy levels even. And most importantly you get one workout a day in only 45 minutes that kicks your butt beyond the need to workout again. Who needs Reality TV when you have The American Boot Camp Company?
