Men’s Fitness: Get Ripped in 7 Days
Click here to see the original article.
I’m sorry but this is false advertisement at its best. Look. No one is getting ripped in 7 days. I don’t care who you are or what you do, but unless you’re already ripped, you ain’t getting diddly in 7 days.
I’m not saying these exercises aren’t good. In fact they’re great. Some of these are ones that I swear by. But anyone who thinks they can achieve any real results in 7 days, is absolutely delusional.
As much as I should continue ranting on the author for false advertisement, a lot of the blame goes to you and me. As a society, Americans are a nation of “quick fixes”. Everything is “Your way, right away!” (Burger King). All those infomercials are designed specifically to satiate our expectations for overnight results. Viagra, Hydroxycut, Starbucks… fuck them for giving us this shit and and fuck us for subscribing to that shit.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say as Americans we are some of the laziest assholes in the world today. That’s why so many Americans have shit jobs and lead shit lives. People bitch and moan about how much their lives suck but never do anything about it. That’s exactly why they fall for articles such as the one above. Americans are always looking for a “free ride”. To get something for nothing. Well let me tell you, nothing in life is free.
What did you think was gonna happen when you stuffed your face with food for 30 years? You think you can reverse that kind of damage in 7 days? Comon, man up. Grow a pair and commit to making a change. Stick with an actual decision for once in your life. And stop looking for shortcuts!
