Watching People Suffer Through Workouts On TV Does Not Make You More Likely To Exercise: Science
"The television program 'The Biggest Loser' is touted as a display of how diet and exercise can help individuals lose weight — no matter their starting point. But new research suggests the program’s extreme depiction of exercise is more likely to turn people off than get them off the couch, say researchers from the University of Alberta."
It's right there in the title – exercising makes you a LOSER.
I must agree with you. I watched a season from the big loser myself last year and also was in a period when i wanted to lose weight and i didn't do nothing at least while the show was on. It wasn't very stimulating for me or for my mother. I have my cable tv from Dish network Tucson and i was speaking some other people who watched the show and they all felt like everything that was happening on the screen was too far away from them.
