Gym trainers are not just excellent resources for information on fitness, exercise form and nutrition but they are brilliant resources of comedy material. The other day, my trainer was bitching up a storm about the concept of you can eat anything you want in moderation. Turns out a lot of nutritionists have been telling his clients that you can eat anything you want in moderation. So rather than cut out their favourite foods, they are recommending eating less of it....
The truth of the matter is that there are very few true-blue rules for healthy living in the first place. Most of the rules for healthy living that you would have come across in TV, magazines, newspapers and from celebrity trainers are nuggets of truth taken completely out of context. These so-called "rules for healthy living" are things that differ from person to person and will never hold true for the population at large. After all, if every person is...

The Nigerians have got nothing on these marketing pros. In my book,...

One the one hand we have the evergeen favourites - the weight loss tea and the vibrating belts that burn belly fat and we have the new fad diets - like last year's HCG diet, made famous by the Jersey Shore (what's wrong with you America?!) But this year's outright winner as the Fitness WTF of 2012...
An effective workout comes down to intensity. No trainer will honestly be able to admit that you need to workout for two hours a day in order to see results. With "no time" being cited as the most common reason that people don't work out, if anything, it's in trainers' interest to design shorter, more effective workouts. So, if you've noticed people who are there in the gym when you arrive and are still working away after you're done and...
