The 20-Minute Myth
First of all, if you work out, 20 minutes a day, three times per week, you will
make "some" improvements in your body. When you see a gorgeous model
on TV say he or she only works out 20 minutes a day, they generally omit the
fact that they don’t consider cardiovascular work part of the workout.
The 20 minutes per day is 20 minutes of hard, solid work, and along with this,
a serious diet program.
If you want to achieve coverboy or covergirl results with the 20-minute, three-times- per-week machine, you have to be one of those "one in a million" genetically so-gifted people that you can eat ice cream and cake nightly, do a few light exercises and a "to-die-for" body just materializes magically. I have yet to meet anyone like this, but rumor has it that such people exist.
Some days when you can’t get to the gym or you just feel like doing a few extra sets, you can use it. Should you count on one machine to get you into optimum shape? Only if you are totally disciplined and by some magic find a machine that is totally suited to your body. Despite what most ads say, some machines do not function well for tall people, or in other cases – short people. No one machine can do what a gym full of machines can do. That’s just marketing.
At the gym, once you arrive, you can leave everything else on your mind at the door and focus solely on your workout , your body, your improvement. This is your time. This is for you. This is what the TV ad that says "It’s important, I deserve it" really means.
