Below is a video response to a concerned email from a reader. I hope you find it as funny as I did.
More important though I have a huge announcement. I, Leigh Peele, can now be followed on Twitter.
Now I am new and I am learning how this all works so be kind. It seems fun though and I look forward to updating it and talking to you all.
On with the show…
Max Headroom
Yoda
Leigh Peele
Case closed
OMG IT IS YOU! It is so nice to see you :O )
I can’t believe I am the second comment, the world must be shocked
HOT SMART and FUNNY. AWESOME.
See people if I wouldn’t have sent that email then you wouldn’t have got this.
You and Katie crack me up. love the video and I’m going to add you to my twitter now!
Roland-To be put in the same category as Yoda is the highlight of my life.
Or really damaging to my self esteem about my looks but you know whatever.
Brie-Thanks and hello
John-Ha, my love, people think I was really mad you! They do not understand our strange love. I don’t mean that in a bridget nelson/flava flav way though.
Sinead-YAY, glad to have you as a fellow twitter…twitterian?
I am add myself
I am rolling!! That is so hysterical!! Hey, I need to have you as a myspace friend, especially since your pics are so hot! I need to Twitter too!
Hey, you are cute! This is the first time I hear of Twitter, what is it exactly?
Love your post.
Did anyone else hear the Brad Paisley song “Online” as they watched this? I sure did.
Oh, Leigh, pre-read. It helps when you see the word “twitter” for the first time. You wouldn’t believe the crap I have to sight-read for ad copy at work.
Hey Leigh,
I’m just the husband of someone who follows your blog but after watching your video something occurred to me. Why is it that people feel the need to ’see’ you? Besides the obvious curiosity I find it so interesting that no one seems to pester another fitness professional out there over his one ubiquitous photo. I am speaking of Alwyn Cosgrove who I have nothing but the utmost respect for. Despite this singular publicity shot (you all know it I’m sure) no one seems to question his credibility, why is that? Perhaps we should all ask ourselves what it is about us that requires this sort of ‘validation’ of female fitness professionals as opposed to their male counterparts? Keep up the good work.
Leigh, you rock! Just added you to my twitter.
OMG that was great! I completely agree with Phil, I don’t see why it has to be different for women. Oh I joined Twitter too!
Love it. Nice show today =P
Phil-You know it is just one of those things. I will say that I have heard Cosgrove get a little smack here and there about pictures and if he was as “cut” as his programs claim to make people.
I think in general, when you take on a position of an authority on a subject you are just going to be held to a harsher public demand. I, for one, have no problems with it. I just like to poke fun at those who think that what I look like, or if I am a female, matters.
Ben-Sorry skipped that. That song is hilarious. I love that we are from the same state.
Lucia-Twitter is a social networking stalking service.
Alexandra-You rock as well thanks!
Amber-Thank you for the add.
Jon-If you weren’t such a stud and knocking out about a million and one things at one time I would pester you to update your blog more. However, I will just be thankful for what you do have.
Best blog post ever.
Reader-mail smackdown!!!
John, have fun with your Turkey Tits.
Hey Leigh, Thanks for your reply. It’s great to see you have the right attitude and I agree with you it’s just that if people believe in what a professional has to say it shouldn’t really matter what they look like. I’ve followed programs from a variety of folks who are what I would qualify as “in shape” and others less so (though they may have been once). If what they say works that’s all I care about. We also all need to be responsible for the results of any program. WE do the work and if it doesn’t turn out the way we like it we should ask ourselves first what it is that WE did wrong. Chances are that’s where the problem lies
. This doesn’t even take into account all our health and genetic differences and potentials! Also, we should all be clear on what we understand as “lean” “ripped” “muscular” etc… terms that are thrown around without much definition and entirely subjective. If you wanna be ripped it ain’t easy to get there and even harder to stay there! That’s enough out of me. Thanks for hearing me out!
