Yeah....that's gross.....all bulky and stuff.0 -
^ LOL the irony....You made a low weight = toning post and a spreading bull**** reference in the same post.....and they weren't related to each other.
lol I really worded that wrong.....
I meant what people usually consider as "toning" weights & that 3lbs was really low compared to those old standards. **keepsdigging**0 -
People actually take this woman seriously?? I'd never heard of her before either, apparently I wasn't missing much. Also, "face like a melted shoe" made me LOL, that's a good way of describing it.0

3 pounds is awful light. So I don't agree there. Some degree of strength is beneficial.
At the same time, too much bulk isn't a good thing from my perspective. Men usually do not find bulky women attractive.
Moderate weight training would make sense to me.
As a guy though, I always strive to lift heavier, but there are weights that I can't lift and I'm not afraid to admit it.
Just stop.0 -

Because as a woman, *I* always strive to lift heavier....and there are weights I can't lift, and I am not afraid to admit it, either.
Oooooh......someone needs to tell me WTH I'm doing wrong, then...Because I'm lifting heavy 4x a week, and I'm not bulky at all. I'm strong, and the hubs thinks I'm hotter with muscle, but I keep looking for this "bulk" that is supposed to jump on me, and it just isn't happening...
Moderate - not enough for me.
ETA: I don't lift because I want random men to find me attractive. I lift because I want to be strong, stave off osteoporosis (all the women in my family deal with it past a certain age), and be healthy. Ok, and rocking the bikini is kinda cool, too.0 -
ETA, How can Piers Morgan have people like this on his show and still have fans?

She may be knowledgable in some areas, but she obviously knows NOTHING about lifting!!
*SMH*0 -

Notice the part where it mentions Gwyneth Paltrow got diagnosed with low levels of vitamin D and pre-osteoperosis, something Doctors who reviewed the diet Tracy Anderson recommends predicted!
I also found this gem of a quote. It hurts to read it, but I almost can't stop looking up new stupid quotes!
"I really wish that women would stop spinning. I say that with such conviction because almost every day in my office, I see women crying and unhappy because they can't fit into their jeans, because of the thigh bulking. There are some women who don’t have the genetic capability to build muscle, and they can do something like that without being affected. That’s a very small percentage of the female population, though. Ninety-eight percent of women will bulk completely. The problem with it is that it doesn’t show right away. You may lose a little bit of weight at first because it’s an easy calorie burn, but it’s not worth what happens to your muscles."
^^Oh goodness! Is she kidding me??!! Spinning has been by far the most beneficial workout for my weight loss. Once I added it into my routines, my body started changing dramatically. My legs are stronger than they've ever been. Shaplier, NOT bulkier. They're actually slimming down quite nicely. SMH!
the stupidity.... wow... i'm speechless.0 -
Who's Tracy Anderson?0
-
Wow....I work for the post office and have to lift up to 70 lbs. These kind of people drive me nutty!!!0
-
She can't be a mom then...my son was 11 pounds at birth. She sounds like a complete fruitcake.0

my toddler daughter weighs 25 pounds and im not suppose to pick her up0

Ok ladies...
Put down your babies, they are going to cause injuries.
Put down those toddlers, they will hurt you.
Drop your purse... gonna throw out your back.
No more shopping, those bags are dangerous.
Laundry baskets? PUT IT DOWN NOW!
cleaning house has just become HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Get those men. We need them at our back and call. How else are we going to get through life?????? please help us, we are helpless!
*GAG. SHIVER* I will keep lifting, THANKYOUVERYMUCH. (And ladies, unless the above seems legit and plausible for your life, I suggest you keep lifting too.)
so basically just spend our lives on our backs? Hmmmm maybe this Anderson person is right.0 -

I like your thinking lol0 -
Evidently, this is not the first time Anderson has said this--I found references going back several years. Evidently she uses body weight routines and elastic bands. So, there is a certain amount of self-marketing hyperbole to that statement, which provides a slightly different context.
But that is not the end of the story. I also uncovered this little gem:In addition to these intense routines, Tracy helps her clients lose inches by cranking up the heat to 80 degrees. "She likes it hot in the room so you sweat, because she says if the room is hot, you're also burning calories to maintain homeostasis," Gwyneth says. "She's always coming up with new ways to kick up the calorie burning."
That's doubling down on teh stoopid.
Wow. That is really... moronic.
But she's got a product to sell. It's amazing how many of these people are out there pushing intense, packaged cardio routines as the best path to weight loss.0 -
whoa whoa whoa wait....
She's right...we shouldn't lift more than 3 lbs....
don't you all remember that girl that made that post last spring about how weights made her SUPAH bulky?!?!
pay attention...
we're saving women's lives here.0 -
Your first mistake was watching Piers Morgan!

ok ok
This then....
Keep going, I like your thinking...0 -
I work in a warehouse where I have to lift things that are as heavy as 80 pounds. Thankfully, most things are below 50 and I only have to move them an inch or two. 3 pounds??? I think a gallon of milk weighs about 5... Does this mean my boyfriend gets to do all of the grocery shopping?? :bigsmile:0

"At the same time, too much bulk isn't a good thing from my perspective. Men usually do not find bulky women attractive. "
I think she may be a time traveler from the 1950's. What kind of trainer puts 'what men/women find most attractive' as their primary goal? Even worse, her ideas about attaining that goal are bull****.0
