Making Fitness and Health a Lifestyle

As a fitness professional, one of the hardest obstacles faced is convincing clients not to fall for the latest fad. From the ThighMaster and Shake Weight to the Werewolf and Alkaline diets, these fads are short-term and have the potential to do more harm than good.
