Stupid fitness products

    Have you ever tried any? There have been some useless ones like the Shake Weight and Iron Arms. And all those ab machines that claim to give you six pack abs in no time. I thought the powerball was actually decent. I just couldn't stand the noise of it.

    And then of course there's the Tug Toner.



    :D

    No i havent tried any. I have a threadmill at home. I dont use it religiously or anything.

    Even though i have no intention of buying any of the crap that i see on those american ads where they are selling those types of stupid things like "revolutionary" gym equipment, cheap "emerald" jewelery or some doll that looks creepy and is supposed to resemble a real child, for some reason i end up watching the ad for half an hour. I like watching them try to sell it. I dont know why, its like they hypnotise you or your just thinking "how would someone be stupid enough to buy that?"

    Yo chi tea advertised as a miracle weight loss product if you check out reviews it has some nasty side effects. This is where Google is your friend, not that I need to lose weight. Eat less move more simple, free and always works.

    That doesn't work because a) it doesn't have a catchy name, b) it requires effort and c) won't let me drop 18 dress sizes in less than a week.

    Perfect timing, as you're likely to have the fear, still reek or booze and are picking away at a kebab / pizza from the night before...

    If we're including supplements, I tried Methoxy Flavone and Nitric Oxide tablets. Complete waste.

    That baby doll is the creepiest thing ever.
    I have a treadmill.. I use it. I have weights and a bike and a vibroplate... I use the vibroplate as a cup holder cos there's none on the bike..
    In my defence, it was the shop model and I got a hefty reduction on the price..
