Are ‘Gizmos’ Worth it?

Posted by Dan on February 19th 2007 to Training

From everything that I’ve read and seen out there, the new gizmo that you see on late night TV probably isn’t worth it. But the sad thing is that a lot of people know this and still buy it! Have we come to the point where we’ll just accept anything to lose weight or get in shape, no matter how much our logic screams out at us “That’s a joke!”? Hopefully not.

Awhile back on AmazingAbdominals.com there was a review done of 6 popular ab machines. This makes a good read and their conclusion is that most machines don’t really help that much. Some have effectiveness, but then problem is that they only target one area of the body. Doesn’t this sound a lot like spot-reduction? And as we all know (again, the logic is screaming out at us), spot reduction doesn’t work.

So before you’re convinced that if you just do 100 crunches a day you’ll be fit, actually listen to that logic and save your money. Stick with the tried and true principles and be willing to put it the time necessary to really change your life and body.
