This morning I was training my client Big Chuck T. Chuck has been with me for 5 years, has gained lean muscle tissue, lost body fat, lost inches and gained primal strength (the best strength you can gain)!

WTF!!! As a doctor and surgeon, Chuck couldn't help but laugh to himself. As a trainer, this sent me into a rage, where I preached to the choir. Our clients understand that how to lose fat, gain lean muscle, etc. Our clients also understand that buying products from TV DO NOT GET RESULTS.

Just check out this infomercial for yourself and have a good laugh!

Ask yourself, why do more and more infomercials keep claiming they have discovered the new weight-loss formula or special piece of equipment that blast your thighs, eliminates beer guts, etc. If a single product or program actually worked don't you think it would still be around?
So when did the infomercials start failing? Well...It all started with Suzanne Somers and my favorite, squirrel butt:
