Trends: Power Balance...Power Scam


Kobe Bryant. Cristiano Ronaldo. Ian Poulter. Shaq. Derrick Rose. Drew Brees. You?

Are you the next person to fall into the fast, money-making trap of "Power Balance - Performance Technology"?

They sell silicone wristbands and pendant necklaces with embedded holograms. Their claim is that it will help to increase the ability of physical performance such as endurance, strength, balance and flexibility. Power balance uses holistic practices through the hologram which is designed to work with your body's natural energy flow.

Are you kidding me?

The fact that Shaq actually agrees to take part in this interview and actively promotes the bracelet, shows that he has no brain. If the bracelet actually worked maybe he could actually sink some free throws and and improve his career free throw percentage of 52.7%.




I went online to Power Balance's web page and they sell this piece of junk for $32.95 and thousands upon thousands of people are buying these bracelets.
Three words...

Save. Your. Money.

Maybe with the money you save you can go and buy yourself a month's gym membership and actually increase your physical performance by exercising!

I actually found an article where in Australia, a Power Balance representative said that there is no scientific evidence that their claims were credible.

If any of you have seen the latest Hawaii 5-0 Diddy was a special guest. Is he wearing it because he needs to improve his physical performance when it comes to acting...because it clearly is not working! LOL


The lesson here is don't fall into these crazy trends and put the time into the gym by actually lifting weights, running on the treadmill, doing yoga or whatever will help you become more physically fit.

  2. Well, it has been proven that it does not work. You can fall into these great marketing ploys and waste the money in your pocket, and that is good with me. I am here to inform and let you know how to better your lifestyle. Powerbands however, is not the right way to do it.
