Fitness Fads of 2013
As the year comes to a close, we saw a lot of different fitness fads that were either new this year or really took off. I am not saying these are good or bad, just trying to make light of the 2013 fitness fads. So if any of these comments offend you, please exit my blog- it's that simple. I'm guilty of several fads below so don't think you're Harriet the Spy and try to call me out.
Mud Runs- run in the mud, get electrocuted, pay $150, get extremely ill (tough mudders in michigan can relate), and this: "While deaths and life-threatening injuries are rare, other problems have occurred more frequently. At the West Virginia race, one woman drowned on an obstacle called Walk the Plank- 19 others were treated at a hospital for injuries ranging from heart attacks to electric shock to hypothermia".
Crossfit- "crossfit is designed around the ultimate in lightweight olympic lifts to infinity"
Paleo- "which aisle can i find the wholly mammoth meat?"
Barefoot Running- great in theory, horrible in execution. why fix something if it isn't broken- if you're not experiencing body pains while running in shoes, there's literally no reason for you to barefoot.
Kettlebell Swings- If it were done as a slow, steady move, this would actually be a beneficial exercise. It would be a combo of a deadlift and front raise. However, instead of teaching it as such, trainers are instructing people to do kettlebell swings are a form of cardio.......... The good news? If you're an undecided college student, this ridiculous "exercise" is going to create a lot of new work for chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons.
No Carbs After 6pm- are you stupid? carbs can't tell time you morons. if you think you can't eat carbs at night, please just punch yourself in the face for the rest of us. " A commonly held belief in the fat loss arena is you should not eat carbs after 5-6pm because, by some magical, mystical, transmutative process, they suddenly become more fattening after this time than in the morning. Yea, right, and I have a buddy who looks like Brad Pitt during the day, but morphs into a Dick Cheney look-a-like the minute the clock strikes six.
Drink Water if You Think You're Hungry- and while you're at it, try eating when you're hungry, cause your body is super confused. MYTH. if your body is telling you that you're hungry, then you're hungry.
Hump Day Motivation- aka i'm not a slut for posting my ass in a thong on wednesday, right?
Gym Selfies- please, move away from the mirror, i'm trying to put my dumbbells back
Clean Eating- there is no such thing as a clean food- ANY food in excess will cause weight gain. simple as that.
IIFYM- macros, macros, macros. it's bodybuilding's saving grace. or it's just science that's been around since the beginning of time. pick your poison
HIIT- aka basketball conditioning when i was in high school
