So I was watching TV the other night when my wife came in the room and started her nightly exercise routine. That's the way it usually is in our house....She exercises her body and I exercise the TV. Coincidentally, a commercial came on for the SLIM IN 6 DVD exercise program.
I must admit, I was intrigued by the name: SLIM IN 6. If they were promising I could get fit in 6 minutes, or even better, 6 six seconds, then I was interested. Alas, the name refers to 6 weeks. Nevertheless, my wife, who is always trying to get me off the couch, told me to watch the commercial. So I did.
It featured a lady interviewing a former CNN health reporter Kat Carney who, because of SLIM IN 6, was in great shape. I have no smarmy remark here. I have to admit this product did a great job for her.
But then Kat Carney (A curse on her parents for naming her that) said she has NINE HUNDRED EXERCISE DVDs! 900! What, does she use them for coasters? Toss them as Frisbees? I'm thinking that if I had tried to get in shape and found that nothing worked, I would have given up after the first 5. And certainly the first 500.
900!
What was even stranger to me is that she said "a handful really get you to where you want to be." Then.....why not stop buying them after the first one you found that works? I'm now convinced that Kat Carney is addicted to workout DVDs. She just can't stop.
It's fortunate that in her addiction, she eventually found a superior product in SLIM IN 6. I just hope she can recover now from her addiction.
Is there a recovery center for DVD addicts?
