If you have ever been wide awake late at night, finding it hard to sleep, chances are you were flipping through the channels and witnessed some pretty crazy exercise equipment being pitched on one of those late night infomercials. Today I’m going to share with you my top 7 picks for the most ridiculous exercise equipment ever.. #1 is shocking, but don’t be too tempted to skip the other 6, they’re all pretty crazy and some are just plain hilarious.
7. Speed Fit Outdoor Treadmill
The speed fit isn’t as popular as some of the other equipment listed here. I actually never recall seeing an infomercial for the speed fit, but the ironic thing is the speed fit would probably produce better results than the rest of the equipment. The reason is simple… you’re basically using a treadmill and everyone knows a treadmill is legit, but what is the point of an outdoor, human powered treadmill? Why not just go for a jog!?
6. Contour Abs Ab Belt
As you can see, the further we get into this the less likely it is that these things are going to produce any real results. I think if getting abs was as easy as strapping a belt on your belly than the United States citizens wouldn’t be in the terrible shape they’re in today.
5. Master Moves Core Training Platform
The master moves core training platform makes exercise look fun and easy, but just because something has a cool name and looks fun to do doesn’t mean its going to get you into shape.
4. Ab Circle Pro
Now things are starting to get a little crazy. The ab circle pro looks like some kind of contraption that trains you to surf or ski, I’m not sure what the theory is behind it’s physical benefits, but nonetheless it looks pretty ridiculous
3. Hawaii Chair
Get abs while you’re sitting on your ass. Yeah right! Hawaii chair, eh? Maybe it gives you a tan too.
2. i Gallop
Believe it or not this is not the most ridiculous piece of exercise equipment. I’m saving the best for last. Check this thing out though… Can you believe somebody would actually buy this? It looks like some sort of mechanical bull device.
1. Shake Weight
I really don’t know what to say! Just watch the video. As if the actual idea behind the shake weight isn’t bad enough… They had to go ahead and classify it as a woman’s exercise equipment… Were they TRYING to make us think what 90% of us are thinking?
I know its fun to have fun and joke about these crazy pieces of “exercise equipment” but the truth is there are a lot of crooks out there. Fitness is a billion dollar industry, so it’s more likely that you’ll come by crazy and outrageous equipment like this or miracle supplements that do nothing. I don’t want you to waste your money on this junk that’s why I do my best to deliver high quality articles via my fitness blog because rather than spend piles of cash on supplements and equipment that do nothing, you need to educate yourself and get on a solid weight training, cardio and nutritional program. You’ll see results in no time!
