Would you take driving lessons from Helen Keller...I think not.

I have one big question here…why do people take fitness classes from instructors and train with trainers who are not in shape themselves??? When you sign up for a class or training session, shouldn’t the “expert” be someone who you want to mimic or at least stride to be? From many that I have seen in gyms the only thing you need to be them is a punch card to Bonanza and a gallon jug of Egg Nog. How can people call themselves fitness experts or have the nuts to teach a class when they are 2 Black Angus burgers and a latte away from being a constant on the biggest loser? Would you take modeling advice from Susan Boyle? It is absolutely ridiculous…how do people expect to get in good shape and feel good when the person that is showing them how can’t do half the shit they are telling you to do? When someone shows you how to do a tricep exercise and then asks you to “push yourself and do 5 more” after you start to struggle…don’t you think…hmmm..this is coming from someone whose tricep looks like silly putty hanging from clothes hanger. I do not expect every trainer to be Jillian Michaels…oh wait….yea…actually I do. Guess what, if you buy Under Armour shirts and spandex pants and your middle looks like two push up Popsicles being smashed together and filling oozing out…don’t try teaching others to have wash board abs. And that bullshit that Richard Simmons promotes…sweating to the oldies…do you really think it was the main reason he lost 2 and ½ men? Hell no…just because you dance around to Kenny Loggins doesn’t mean all of sudden you look like Mario Lopez…its called he stopped eating enough food to save a small village in Africa and actually started moving around. Good lord people…we don’t buy winter clothes from a nudist, we don’t get dental hygiene from Mike Tyson and we don’t get phonics lessons from Ozzie Ozborn. Next time when you go to the gym or any place where people move at a faster pace than a sloth and who are taking instruction from a person whose gravity pull seems to be getting the best of them…say to them…did Ray Charles sign you up for this class? He must have, because if you want to look like that…then wouldn't it be easier to follow that trainer home tonight and eat dinner with them…it will be easier on your joints and you won’t need a shower when your done. Wake the hell up.
