Alright it wasn’t that long ago I put a blog entry in here of things I higly recommend. Well at the same time it is as important to know what not to do as it is what to do. So in essence here is list of products that probably aren’t that good and just might suck.

Kettlenetics- When people find out how big I am into kettlebell training they seem so excited to tell me about this Kettlenetics thing. Well I checked out their website and found that they have a 4lb kettlebell which was the first red flag. 4lbs is a joke for just about any kind of weight. As a matter of fact most kettlebells come in 9lb increments many times with a little less then 18lbs being their lowest. This isn’t even half that. Second judging by their movements a lot of them don’t look like anything that can be done with a reasonable amount of weight. From what I can tell it is another dance exercise dvd disguised as a kettlebell dvd and in so doing ruins their good name.

HipHop Abs- Sorry but no kind of music is going to give you abs except for heavy metal and that comes from lifting it not listening to it.

Stairstepping machines- You’ll see various types of these on late night tv. The one that cracks me up is the one that claims that it is done in “one short easy step” well if work is force x distance then odviously you aren’t burning any more calories. Besides the same people who buy this are the same ones that will wait for the next elevator rather then taking the stairs

Ab Rocket- “Just sit and relax while working your abs” So wait are you training your abs or are you relaxing? If it is pushing you up guess what…it is doing the work not you. If you aren’t going to work you aren’t going to get results…end of story.
