"Results-based fitness"

This is a buzzword I've seen recently and frankly it's driving me nuts. What does this even mean? What is the point of sticking to any fitness plan if it's not going to bring you results? Places that use this buzzword are also usually the places that have tiny 3lb hand weights for ladies and do classes like "bodysculpt" and "cardiofit".
JUST SAY NO.

Let me do you a favor ladies. If your gym is doing bodysculpt classes and giving everyone weights that are smaller than your purse, find a new place to train and a new trainer to give you a routine.

Lift heavy weight. This will build more muscle which burns more fat and raises your "at-rest" metabolism to help you get that toned look you're after. The key is muscle! By having you lift something so tiny your gym isn't preparing you for life outside the gym. Does that dumbbell weigh more than the child you have to pick up 20 times a day? I want you to be ready for anything you have to tackle during the day. Your time training with me should be the HARDEST thing you have to do all day if you really want to see results. THAT is results-based fitness. Now can we stop using that term?

What fitness terms or practices drive you crazy? Sound off in the comments and let me know!
