The Situation Workout:  Is it all about the gym?

Whether you are a fan of the hit reality series Jersey Shore or not, you have to be impressed with some of the male physiques on the show. The man who calls himself “The Situation” and helped coin the phrase ‘Gym, Tan, Laundry’ is getting ready to branch out and secure a new revenue stream.Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino, most famous for his chisseled abs is attempting to parlay his success on Jersey Shore to profit on his soon to be released workout DVD. 

Getting abs like this requires hard work and discipline, even for "The Situation"

Good Fitness Role Model?

First off, the cast is portrayed as young, party going drinkers who get drunk every night, not the greatest fitness role models (although, I question how much “The Situation” really drinks). Second, not being the most well spoken person in the world, and having some major blunders on the show (if cameras were following you around, the same thing would happen, plus it makes for good television) doesn’t help his cause either.

Proof is in the Pudding

Fortunately for “The Situation” you can measure authority in other ways.  Nobody can argue that he doesn’t have great abs, in fact he shows them off almost every episode.  You also can’t take away the hard work that he puts into it.  The guys on the show maintain that they go to the gym at least 5 days a week, so in that respect they are putting in the effort to get those results. 

He actually mentioned diet

I earned much respect for “The Situation” after viewing the above clip.  When asked abut his workout routine, Mike goes on to discuss the stages of his program.  Where he really surprised me is about the 16 second mark.   He goes on a rant about diet!  This is something I wasn’t expecting.  Most meat heads wouldn’t talk about their diet in such high regard.  For that I will get him credit.He didn’t mislead people to believe that just abs workouts alone will get the job done; no he actually admitted that diet plays a vital role is sculpting that 6-pack.  Congratulations “Situation” for not being a meathead and possibly becoming positive fitness role model (sort of).
