Why all the confusion…?

I just left the gym a couple of hours ago after completing a great workout and I found myself wandering one thing, why must they confuse us so much. When I say “they” I am referring to the vast majority of those in the fitness industry. It usually takes most individuals going through four or five fitness programs if not more before they find a program that yields any substantial results. Sadly, I also have had to travel on this beaten path. After wasting valuable time, energy, and more importantly my money, I realized that many of these programs were destined for failure from the beginning.

Think about how you have learned throughout your entire life, by simply reading books and trying to digest all the information is not an efficient learning method. It is not until you get out there and actually see everything you are learning implemented that you begin really understanding. Trying to learn how to properly perform the various exercises featured in a book safely and accurately is ineffective. People are able to learn more from watching someone perform an activity than they ever will by reading from a book. Furthermore, with books and similar instructional material it is difficult to control the learning process as all the information (nutrition guides, fat-loss, and muscle building) are trying to be digested all at once before the individual is able to implement anything. Moreover, most of the information about proper technique etc. learned is most likely lost since they have been unable to implement.
