Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Actually, the show was on VH1. We just had a long discussion about it on this board a couple days back. I agree that it was inspiring, but I also think it was a very controlled setting and a fake kind of motivation in the form of TV cameras. I would bet money that at least two of those girls will gain the weight back within a few months. Devyn > Watched a good show on MTV called 'Rock Bodies'(or something to that > effect) and wow!

I took my trainer on for 3 sessions where she designed me a routine while doing it with me (you can see it here http://www.sfu.ca/~eve/bfl/). Anyway, she had me pushing an extra rep in a set when normally I would have stopped. Of course I did need some spotting every now and then but I now again know how far I can push myself. -- -eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 They really did look good after their transformations, didn't they? One of the things that bothered me most about the program was that the girls were doing twice-daily cardio sessions, burning 1000 calories/day and they were only allowing them to eat 1350 calories/day. That's just not healthy. Beth ----- Original Message ----- Watched a good show on MTV called 'Rock Bodies'(or something to that effect) and wow! It was inspiring!
