Seven Silly Fitness Fads ( I thought this was plain silly, and the comments are great, ripping the author apart)
Tip of the Week: Six of the Worst Workout Habits (It scares me that people would consider this crap)

I love these! I agree with the commenters who are saying, “Who cares if it’s a fad, at least people are getting off their asses and moving.” Besides, I think they have some serious misinformation- I have never been in a strip aerobics class where the participants are wearing anything other than tennies or bare feet. I have never heard of “wind removing” yoga, other than “wind removing pose” in Bikram which, while I’m sure effective for the task, is not actively engaged in in class. The 20 minute dorm room workout sounds like a great idea to me. Is it going to make you Mr. Universe? No, but it doesn’t sound meant to.
I think there was a much better story the author could have written here if they simply labeled it “silly fitness fads to make fun of” not “silly gimmicks that don’t work or are a waste of time.”
