Is anyone else confused by all of the weight loss, fat burning, ab workout programs that are being sold on the internet? As a former college athlete I was accustomed to being in shape, but I admittedly let myself slip over the past couple of years and gained some stomach fat. I still had some of the diets and workout regiments that we used in college, but they were all designed to build muscle and maintain lean muscle mass (not burn excess fat on a middle aged male).
Regardless of what you search for on the internet, you are inevitably going to see one of those ads for "lose 6 lbs in 9 days", or "find the secret to six pack abs", but how do you know which abs workout really works? As I started searching for them, I came across several dozen different workout books. With catchy titles like "The Truth About Six Pack Abs", "No Nonsense Six Pack Abs", and "Burn The Fat" just to name a few, I started to notice a trend.
1. All of the weight loss programs claimed to be the top selling e-book 2. They all claimed to have a secret that the fitness industry didn't want anyone to know 3. All of them had the same basic sales pitch
So how do you know which program actually works to burn fat and help slim down your stomach? It is very hard to tell how each weight loss program differs based on their sales pages. Rather than taking their customer feedbacks at face value, I decided to seek out some actual users of the products to see if I could determine which exercise programs and diet guides were really going to help with my goals.
As I started researching the fat burning workouts, I found that there are some significant differences between them. For example, the top selling e-book according to ClickBank (which is an e-product marketing company), focuses more on simplified programs for toning your stomach and changing your nutritional diet to make changes (that is Mike Geary's- The Truth About Six Pack Abs). The book 7-Minute Muscle by Jon Benson, which also claims to burn fat and sculpt your midsection, it focused more on gym exercises and condensing your workout into shorter workouts (not as much about dieting and abs exclusively). The far extreme that I found was the book titled Top Secret Fat Loss Secret which actually talked about detoxification and natural supplements to help burn fat and cleanse the body.... certainly not what I was looking for.
So before you start a search for any weight loss program or fat burning workout on the internet, take some time to do the research. There are a lot of good workout programs on the market, but not all of them will be exactly what you are looking for. If you take your time, analyze each exercise program, and find some honest reviews of the programs, you should be able to find a program that matches up with your specific goals.
In fact, trying to make a living as an Internet Marketer is even worse than trying to break into the Weight Loss industry, for more detail go to: www.tried-tested-marketing-strategies.com.but let's look at the similarities first:
The biggest problem with both Internet Marketing and Weight Loss is that you need to put in consistent, constant effort in order to see long term results. for more detail go to:www.attaining-your-desires.com.What is even worse is that you definitely do not see any difference in the short term. It is therefore very difficult to stay motivated. Am I doing the right things? Why am I expending all this effort (read 'cost', in the case of a client) and am not even seeing results? WHY am I not seeing any results? It is difficult to stay motivated (keep the client paying) in this scenario.
We are talking here of the quick-fix, the snake-oil, the miracle product - all of these abound both in the Internet Marketing and Weight Loss industries. And in both of these industries there is no substitute for constant, concerted and focused effort. This is the only thing that gets results. Not fat-loss pills or get-traffic-quick potions! You have to execute the right actions to maximize the return for effort expended. And only concentrating on one type of activity is also not enough
If you only eat less you might not actually lose weight. Exercising at the same time (and doing the right type of exercises) will certainly have a better effect.
A balance of exercises toning the whole body is necessary to become fit and healthy and lose weight. Likewise, if you only concentrate on doing one type of activity to promote your site and generate traffic you might not succeed. Optimizing your site for the search engines alone is not enough - you need to execute other types of internet marketing strategies as well in order to have long term, sustainable results. In fact, if I have to give any advice to anyone aspiring to succeed in the Internet Marketing field I would rather tell him to go and sell Weight Loss products. But then, I don't really know much about weight loss, except that if you spend too much time on the Internet
But the biggest problem is that everyone knows when they have a weight problem and they know more or less what to do to fix it. They also KNOW that losing weight is not easy. To persuade a client that they need to expend effort and cost on marketing their site on the Internet is often still very foreign territory. A client recently asked me why I am charging extra for Internet Marketing activities, when all the other website design proposals she received offered to insert her keywords in her website pages at no additional cost.
