I See Those Infomercials are Still Around

June 30th, 2008 by admin

Since I got the digital tier and HD on cable, I haven’t watched many, if any infomercials. Happened to see one this morning though, and not much had changed from a few years ago. This was for a fitness product. A personal trainer was claiming that his ten minute workouts could transform you. Now, I don’t doubt that ten minute workouts performed intensely enough could cause some major body composition changes, if combined with sound nutrition. I’m just skeptical that the couch potatoes watching these commercials will put in the required effort. If you’re gonna only do ten minutes of exercise, it’s gotta be intense. And while I only watched for a few minutes (and listened for a few more) what I saw didn’t look very intense. I think the purchasers might be surprised at how hard they’re gonna have to work in order to make the program work.
