I didn't make this thread Einstein. In fact, I make very few threads.

Hear hear.

People have made exercising WAY too complicated (and expensive) these days.

From a physiology standpoint, nothing has changed about the human body. Only people's mindsets. Lots of people think that the more expensive and complicated their exercising is, the more effective it is.

Exercise is nothing more than a matter of physical exertion under controlled conditions. Losing fat is simply calories out > calories in.

I run 4 times a week along with a routine of push-ups, abs, and some other body weight exercises. And I don't eat like shite. At 32, I'm probably in the best shape of my life (thanks Bowflex).

The only "equipment" I need? A t-shirt, shorts, and a pair of $65 running shoes I bought at a DSW with a BOGO deal.

- why does a 40 year old mother of three need to be flipping tires?

This right here is why some people hate going to the gym. What is the big deal? There is a tire there for a reason, its not like she brought the tire into the gym. Stop judging other's and just do your damn workout.

HIIT workouts are highly effective and who the ducks cares if she is flipping tires or running on a treadmill.

You see these attention whores at every gym. Look at me I’m a workout warrior.

Exactly.

We are a big fat nation with big fat excuses.

1. It's my genes.
Well, unless the Pilgrims and immigrants that followed were disproportionately fat as frick, that doesn't explain the obesity rate.

2. Eating healthy is expensive.
Rice, beans, chicken, pork, turkey, fish, many fruits, most vegetables, etc. - all cheap as shite in America.

3. Working out is expensive and time consuming.
You literally just have to get your heart rate up and burn calories on a consistent basis for up to an hour. Most people that say this spend over three hours in front of the TV daily.

We live in a stupid, lazy nation, not a victimized one.

So it's more intense when she posts the picture of her working out with an inspirational quote about never giving up on her dreams or who she is as a person to instagram
