Why they are rich and you are fat

[juggledex]

Have you ever watched one of those late night infomercials about the latest piece of bent plastic, diet or fruit juice that was going to give you the hot body you've always desired? I bet you laughed and shrugged it off just like last month’s hot new scam.


Hawaii Chair, they are going to make more money than all of us combined.



So why is you're trying to be a Spartan now or think you can have Bruce Lee's body? Both of these were movie stars. Sure they worked hard to look great in their films, but Gerard Butler didn't stop smoking cigarettes throughout his training and Lee dropped dead at age 32. We love them to death, but they weren't exactly living the healthiest lifestyles.


The ultimate badass?



The truth is, they're great marketers. They're targeting exactly what you want and you're buying. All these people selling you '300' and 'Spartan' workouts are all full of crap. Their workouts might not be bad, but it was the same old workout with this new name attached to it so you'll buy it.


I wonder what Mark Twight thinks about all this 300 business?



We all know it's superficial. You want to look hot, and be ripped. If you weren't you'd be asking questions about guys like Hoyce Gracie. He never looked great, but he and he family won countless fights and tournaments. Don't think for a second they weren't great at marketing either. Ever heard of the UFC? The Gracie family helped start that to promote their style of Jiu-Jitsu, but this rant isn't about what style is the best.


Who needs movies when you've got PPV?



If the point hasn't been beaten into your head, I have one more example. Product after product states that it's "diet", "low-fat" and "healthy!" Does this not set of an alarm in your mind that tells you it's obviously NOT healthy at all? Healthy foods don't have to tell you they are healthy. They sell themselves! Keep these things in mind next time you check out a workout for "abs", "300", "Spartan" or “what Bruce Lee did!"


It's named "Healthy" and the logo is even running!



In conclusion, inspiration is just that. The ripped guy selling the abs product didn't get there by using the product. The guy selling you the "300" workout never did it until the movie was popular. He was in shape before then. If the food is labeled "healthy" it probably isn't healthy. Love them or hate them, all these guys are great inspiration. Now, go find real information about real training and get the body you want
