To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I have a bunch of fitness magazines, and each claim the exercises will give great results. So far I haven’t noticed much improvement. Am I doing something wrong, or are the exercises in magazines as effective as they say they are?”
From Fit by Sara: “Most exercises if done consistently will give you some kind of result, however the ones in the magazines often portray fitness experts vs. people who just started exercising. This can be a misconception because it can lead people to believe they will look like the women shown demonstrating the exercises. Also, I’ve noticed the exercises in magazines are often unclear, missing key form points as well as photo images to guide users properly. I recommend taking an exercise class at your gym and or buying a few recommended fitness DVD’s so you can see and hear how to do exercises vs. figuring out how to do the exercises from a magazine.” -Sara Holliday MFT, CPT
