I was surfing over to one of my favorite fitness sites,\u00a0FitSugar<\/a>, when their banner ad poked me in the eye. \u00a0A picture of Jillian Michaels with a yoga mat tucked under her arm, pushing her latest product a Yoga DVD. \u00a0Really? \u00a0The Yoga mat looked like the plastic sleeve had just been removed and it hadn\u2019t even been unrolled once. \u00a0I\u2019m sure that\u2019s the way it\u2019ll remain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jillian Michaels<\/a>\u00a0is not a yoga expert, she is not a nutritionist, her credentials for personal training barely qualify her to work in the industry. \u00a0Why do you want to take any advice that she dishes out? \u00a0Yup, she\u2019s cute, she\u2019s sassy, she has a drop-dead gorgeous body but c\u2019mon now she\u2019s doing yoga?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019d like to let you all in on a little secret. \u00a0The fitness industry is about 95% marketing!<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s some guys in suits sitting around figuring out how they can tap into this billion dollar industry. \u00a0You know what the easiest way to make money in the fitness industry is? \u00a0Throw a celebrity\u2019s face on the cover of whatever gizmo\/gimmick you\u2019re selling and sit back and wait.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because of that we get the\u00a0Susan Lucci Malibu Chair<\/a>, the\u00a0Kim Kardashian diet<\/a>\u00a0(I don\u2019t even know what the real name of it is, I just see it plastered all over the place) and Jillian Michaels diet pills. \u00a0It\u2019s appalling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To give you context, Brad Pitt walks up to you and says,\u201d Hi there!\u201d (flash big toothy grin). \u00a0I\u2019ve had surgery 5 or 6 times in my life and I\u2019m pretty sure I can remove your gall bladder no problem. \u00a0Just lie down on my magic pillow and when you wake up you\u2019ll be good as new. \u00a0Would you lie down on the table, with Brad Pitt holding a scalpel and happily let him cut you open? \u00a0(If the answer is yes, you need to see a therapist \u2026)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A good yoga instructor has hundreds of hours of certification training before they begin teaching. \u00a0Someone like\u00a0Rodney Yee\u00a0<\/a>or\u00a0Baron Baptiste<\/a>\u00a0know how to guide people fluidly, even on a video, to keep them safe and ensure an effective workout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Please ~ I beseech you ~ consider the source of your fitness information before you swallow it all, hook, line and sinker. \u00a0The goal, should always be to make you a healthier, more fit person, not to give some marketing dude the opportunity to buy another Armani suit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Comments welcome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lisa<\/p>\r\n\r\n
