Newsweek has an article this week called 7 Silly Get in shape Gimmicks. The list is strange and includes the following:

Weighted Hula Hooping
Strippercise
The Bodyblade
Cirque du Soleil-Inspired “Aerial Aerobics.”
Wind-Relieving Asana
Wii Fit Ski-Jump
Dorm Room Workouts

So what do you see in all of these different faux-exercises? Well to me it looks like they are all bad ideas that are an extension on something good. Yoga is good, stripping may be good exercise, the Wii is good exercise when done correctly and of course the hula hoop is fun and helps your core strength.

Be really aware of how these fads and some scams work. They take something that is good and give it a hook that makes some sense. Look through the exercise or diet or equipment and ask yourself if this is really something that will help you and if it will can you do it over the long term?

      I do love the Wii that is for sure. It is great exercise. The only trouble is that for many games you can still sit back and play and be almost immobile, that would not be exercise
