On Healthy Living

Have you tried those DVD workouts advertised on TV? Those that are usually sold in home tv shopping? Well, I tried 2 actually. But unfortunately, it did not work for me.

Yes, those beautiful abs that they have on TV are kind of enticing. But it takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of time too, to get the kind of abs that those people you see on TV have. When I got my first DVD (I got the pilates one), I was so excited that I even bought a band and a ball (these are used in some exercises). First 3 days, I was able to keep up with the instructor until the end of the easy level. However, I found it hard to move already after 3 days. My muscles were aching so bad, and so I stopped. I bought another disc, the hip-hop thingie this time. And the results were the same for me.

I don’t mean to give negative feedback on any of these self-instructional materials. It’s just that maybe, it will still be better if we consult someone with knowledge, if not expertise, on the matter before we do something especially if it’s regarding our bodies and our health.
