You are right, but much of the fitness game is motivation, and we are tribal organisms. Being part of a community to which one relates, that pushes you to be better, is a huge benefit.

Maybe this is a solved problem, but I think there might be at least one person here with whom it resonates, and to whom it could provide substantial value.

In general what this community is about is having good arguments for doing what you do. As such it usually makes sense if a person who advocates some practices makes the case for the practice instead of simply posting a link.

In this case, did you follow that program? What results did you get?
