21. Avoid Fads

When it comes to exercising and/or losing weight, make sure you avoid any crazy fads that claim to make doing either of those things easy – remember Shake Weight, anyone?!

Most products that claims to trigger quick and effortless weight loss and/or conditioning with minimal effort are usually too good to be true. The term “no pain, no gain” exists for a reason, so don’t fall for any fad hype – and make sure you read reviews before buying the latest and greatest DVD workouts or fitness systems.
