Useless Exercise Equipment
By Anne Keckler | February 18, 2008
This comedian is talking about his roommate, who is a Chippendale dancer. If you’d rather not hear adult humor, please don’t click. Toward the end he talks about exercise equipment that is often advertised on television, especially on infomercials.
So, on the subject of silly exercise equipment, have you seen the Leg Magic Pro?
How about the Hawaii Chair? You can get a workout while sitting at your desk and doing nothing! Yeah, right.
Victoria’s Secret is apparently offering workout flip flops, called FitFlops ™. They tone your legs just by walking while wearing them. As if walking in other shoes doesn’t do that?
The Red Exerciser also promises a beautiful, fit body without any hard work.
I tried out the iGallop when I was at Brookstone just before Christmas. You might get a better workout, and have more fun, if you try the mechanical bucking bronco at your local Country & Western bar. Or just go horseback riding.
I preferred the USurf, personally. Obviously, actually surfing will do a lot more for you. And if surfing interests you, but you can’t get to the surf, check out the Indo Board. It will give you a much better workout, and doesn’t need electricity!
You can even sit on your butt and do nothing while getting toned abs! Or not.
What is the most ridiculous “exercise equipment” you’ve seen?

Heh, this reminds me of how often I used to see Bowflex ads on TV…there was an ad for them with nearly every single commercial break, no matter what channel I flipped to. That said, Bowflex does work, unlike the ridiculous infomercial specials you’ve listed; I used one that a friend has. After giving it a try, I stated that I still prefer free weights, as did my friend.
