PraxisFitness

I work at a gym here and aside from personal training, I do fitness consultations, which are orientations for new members.  We discuss current habits, take measurements, define goals, and help them create a plan to get there.   In talking with people, it constantly amazes me that they assume that just coming in to the gym and doing some walking will solve all their health issues.  I am not knocking walking - it’s fantastic exercise for any one.  But at the same time, many of them expect to succeed with large weight loss goals without making changes to their diets.  This is Louisiana, the fattest state in the nation, and on top of that - New Orleans, famous for rich everday fare.  A nutritional diet isn’t exactly high on people’s priority list, or even in many people’s knowledge base.

I ran across this video post over at Cataput Fitness and thought it was just a fantastic representation of trying to out-train a poor diet… and just how futile it can be.  Watch it and let me know what you think!
