Cell Phone Cameras And Facebook Spark Home Fitness Reassurance

Centreville, VA – With cell phone cameras clicking away at every social gathering these days – and downloaded to Facebook usually before desert is served – people are more concerned than ever about their appearance.
 
For Jenny, a customer service representative based in Texas, her social networking “wake up” shocker came after attending a friend’s wedding. 
 
“I opened Facebook the next morning and there were no less than a dozen pictures of me dancing at the reception,” she said.  “I knew I had gained some weight, but I was appalled with how I looked.  I committed to start exercising on the spot or I’d never go to another party.  I wanted to burn those pictures, but there they were for all to see.”
 
Many sociologists agree that the convergence of cell phone technology with social media have motivated people to lose weight like never before.  “Forget the tremendous health benefits associated with diet and exercise, people don’t want to be seen on Facebook looking less than their best.  It’s that simple.”
 
According to Robin Pledge, a certified fitness trainer and motivational speaker in Southern California, the social media and cell phone camera phenomena has sparked a renaissance of hardcore exercise and nutrition regimens designed for people serious about achieving fast and lasting results.
 
“My clients are ditching their worthless diet pills, and returning to the gym as well as purchasing programs such as the P90X Workout for home use,” she said.  “They’re putting in the sweet equity to get results – and programs like P90X, which incorporates a variety of short, varied and intensive muscle-confusing exercises, along with proper nutrition, are having a major impact on the fitness industry. ”
 
Pledge says that despite the overwhelming popularity of these infomercial-based exercise programs, people are doing their homework before ordering.  “In this economy, and with the costs involved, my clients are visiting a number of unbiased on line fitness resources, such as http://www.healthhound.org/, for the real facts about these programs.  I often refer clients to http://www.healthhound.org/p90x/, for example, because they offer objective information that people can put use right away in their hectic lives. ”
 
For Pledge, it’s a welcome change from the days when her clients chased one diet pill after another, in search of an easy weight loss panacea.
 
“If you put in the work, and eat properly, you’re going to see results in the mirror. The success of P90X and websites like http://www.healthhound.org/ mean people are willing to do just that – especially when their pictures are being plastered all over Facebook after that next event or family gathering,” she laughed.
