The Beert family is a big fan of The Biggest Loser, I personally think it is great television for a few reasons. First I love the fact that people are pushing themselves to the limit to meet their goals and in most cases sacrificing a significant amount of time away from their family's in order to accomplish these goals. Second the concept is great who would not want to do this, I mean where else do you get to be away from work for three or four months and only have to exercise. For me this would be heaven, having someone lay out your workouts and laying out what you eat and all you have to do is show up. That would be the life! Third I think this is one of the few "reality" shows which is somewhat legit, I mean you either lose the weight or you don't. Don't get me wrong the drama at the weigh-in is a little stretched but hey it is still television.
So last night the final five contestants did a sudo Triathlon which was really cool as I think it is a great sport for the average person that gets bored with just a single sport. This introduces the sport to people that may have never thought of taking part before. The best part was that at the end of this mini tri they had to climb forty-four flights of stairs, man now that would be a little tough I will admit.
I would love to follow up with these contestants in the future and see if any decide to get into Triathlon as part of their training going forward, as you all know it is addicting.
Overall I think this is a great promo for the sport and hopefully helps grow the sport even more than it has already in the past ten years.
