I think overall it's a motivational show, but these folks are isolated with professional trainers for a short period of time. That's just not real life. I kinda feel the same way about P90X guy. Sure, a lot of folks get absolutely ripped in three short months. But most I know turn right back into their old selves when they're done. It's great that they're working out - but I just don't think that most of it can be realistically maintained.Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-13689970916622230622014-02-07T19:39:07.895-07:002014-02-07T19:39:07.895-07:00If I could afford one, I'd have an elliptical ...If I could afford one, I'd have an elliptical in my house!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669046315971951442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-69911942729631951772014-02-07T13:32:52.057-07:002014-02-07T13:32:52.057-07:00I love my elliptical ...

I haven't had any big injuries, but when I had an issue with my toe and couldn't imagine putting on shoes (for the treadmill) I could still elliptical (in my slippers). This was the first season I watched TBL. I did my thoughts about it (the season/show as a whole, not just the finale) in my blog yesterday (it's ALL over the internet isn't it?). I do subscribe to Women's Health ... but I'm SO far behind. I wonder when I'll get to the article you mentioned ...JenBsJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03576736509918151680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-53473096852810106602014-02-07T09:21:34.666-07:002014-02-07T09:21:34.666-07:00Yeah, after watching the BL finale, I had to go ea...Yeah, after watching the BL finale, I had to go eat something. Rachel made me feel like I was starving! Hopefully the trainers said something to her. I haven't read the Women's Health article, it will probably just make me mad!
