ranting on ab machines

does this look like a Giger chair or what. i mean a kiddie version but.....well, maybe not...
Gigers chair probably isn't very comfortable after awhile, like sitting in the church pew of an old Virginia church during a July, hellfire and brimstone, Sunday morning service.
funny how i see these new ab miracle machines almost daily on the boob tube. every new version is easier and requires less effort and less time than its predecessor.
Don't you think these things would be more at home in the adult shop??

i get pissed off when i hear about making exercise easy. It reminds me of those early sci fi stories where your dinner comes in the form of a pill. ( amino acid supplements anyone?) How much change are you going to affect if you always take the easy option. In my gym we are always trying to make exercise harder and guess what, we get stronger, better conditioned, better balanced and better aesthetics. ( aesthetics is my fancy way to say look better naked)
I love the ab circle xxx, i just cant see where you're going to get much of an ab training session in (in it). I think every man should buy one for his wife, you know for when the kids are away....
but exercise, really??
do yourself a favour, grab a bag of dog food (one of those big bags) and go for a two mile walk ( 8 times around the track) and never put the bag down. i gar,on,tee you will burn more calories and fat than you will on your 3 min ab circle workout or your 20 min ab circle workout.
The idea behind these toys is the same old unfunctional hypothesis behind doing 2000 crunches a day. work the abs and the abs will get skinny, but that hypothesis is bad science.
fat doesn't disappear from the spot you train, it disappears from everywhere concurrently. you want to burn calories to burn fat through exercise. you're better off cleaning and pressing a sand bag (oh, or a dog food bag, one of those big ones) for 20 reps. If it takes you 3 min great, if it takes 5 min great, if it takes 20 min. who care, but it better be hard. if its not hard, if you're not struggling, huffing and puffing you should have just stayed on the couch watching the ab machine masturbater commercial.
