Tombstone Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Has anyone ever bought a home exercise machine that actually worked? I normally make fun of those commercials and infomercials but I want to make sure that I'm not missing out on anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chh Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I'd expect the majority of them work just fine, if you actually use em. Most people I know who have bought into that sort of thing are still sitting on the couch watching informercials about exercise equipment, while whatever they bought gathers dust However, my boyfriend did buy an As Seen On TV vegetable chopper and it was just junk, didn't work anything what they show on TV. So maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Well we could also go into the magical steak knife that can chop down a tree but that would be off subject I'm just curious if anyone has gotten good results from one. I'm not talking about the first six weeks either, someone thats out of shape can see results from just about any type of excercise. I'm more interested in finding out if someone has been using a specific machine for a few years and continue to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I can say that I have gotten good use from my ab dolly. It really is good for core body work. And it provides a good variety in workout options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Oh and I have actually seen Total gyms in a physical therapists office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 I'm glad you mentioned the Total Gym because that's the main reason I posted. I just don't think Chuck Norris would lie to me I'm tempted to get one but spending $1700 on a machine just to test it seems a bit risky. I'm just searching for something new and interesting to spice up my workout. And whats an ab dolly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 It is a pair of padded dolleys. You can use one at a time for upper abs or lower abs. And do like a caterpillar move using both together. It is kind of fun and a nice alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
