The Biggest Loser…
NBC’s The Biggest Loser started a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been watching. I’ve caught a few episodes here and there over the past seasons, and sometimes hang on for a full season.
I’m liking this show right now, and I’ll tell you why.
In a society where pills, surgery, and other shortcuts seem to be the norm, the show’s trainers (Bob and Jillian) emphasize a good diet and hard exercise. And they work their victims to the bone too.
On top of that, they use real exercises for strength training. I don’t think I’ve seen them doing concentration curls or tricep extensions. They do squats, deadlifts, thrusters, etc.
This season I think I’ve seen kettlebells in each episode. They have also used battling ropes, and the other night they had Danny whacking the tractor tire with a sledgehammer – followed by some tire-flipping.
Plus, call me a softie, but I like seeing people who have struggled with their weight their whole lives finally see some success.
So, maybe you’re skinny and don’t need to lose weight. I don’t really think that matters. The point is; be disciplined in your diet and workouts. I haven’t been lately and I can tell.
However, a good diet and regular exercise will turn your body into what it was meant to be. The problems come with eating too much junk and sitting in front of the TV or computer. This is how these contestants ended up where they are.
But, it’s never too late to turn it around. Some of these folks are way past unhealthy. This season, Shay started at almost 480 pounds at 5′ 8″.
Watch some of these folks work their butts off and see if you don’t get inspired. Grab your trusty kettlebell and a patch of grass and get to work.
