Bad Marketing…..

I came across this site by accident and was none too pleased with what I saw. This website promotes rowing machines and has numerous articles about the health benefits of using these machines. I don’t have a problem with that at all. Rowing machines are great for engaging your whole body while getting a good cardiovascular workout.

What bothers me is that this fitness ‘expert’ claims that treadmills and elliptical trainers are useless as a means of exercise and a complete waste of time. I understand that there are better ways to burn calories and certainly more exciting ones that trotting on a treadmill for an hour, but useless? I don’t think so.

The real problem here is not that the author is slamming treadmills and elliptical machines, because everyone is entitled to their opinion, but rather that this donkey is actually SELLING them on his website. Not only that, but his ads are plastered all over the very article that is talking you OUT of buying a treadmill..

This isn’t uncommon, but it really infuriates me to see people trying to make an easy buck and who have no real interest in doing the right thing or helping people.
