Snake oil

The link below is to an article and web post featured in 'Mens Fitness' titled 'Psycho Circuits' and I qoute.

'If you think normal circuit classes are for wimps, try Psycho Circuits.' And it is also billed as: ' The Uk's toughest circuit class.'

The fact that it goes on for 90 minutes as a general population circuit tells you that there is a little poetic licence going on. Also the lack of any control on technique or intensity level which is self evident from the video explains why the nature of the mainstream fitness industry & publications are just one complete pile of sh*t!! The smoke and mirror bullshit that the mainstream gym going public swollow still leaves me astounded!

"Until we change the views of the mass fitness media it will remain as is, when they say "eat burgers and get thin" / "6 minutes to perfect abs" etc, we are on to a loser with a society that want it now! This attitude and the poor delivery of fitness in the mainstream are setting the masses up for failure in that of which they wish to succeed. And until we break this hold the machine based mono-structural isolationist protagonists have over the general public, and the quick fix solutions are no longer accepted, the mainstream gym going human being is doomed!"
