In this day and age everyone seems to be looking for a quick fix or an instant solution to a problem. It is no different in the fitness industry, several fitness companies take advantage of this and have produced various pieces of fitness equipment that are about as productive as a chocolate fireguard. I actually find it disgusting that fitness companies sell this rubbish to individuals who are trying to improve their health; they are not only taking your money but also your valuable time.

No piece of fitness equipment will ever replace what you actually need to do to achieve your fitness goals and that’s time in the gym, and a healthy diet! It’s not rocket science yet so many of us are constantly after the latest quick fix and faddy piece of fitness equipment. The human body evolves over thousands of years not decades, think of what we did in the past….sprinting to catch food, lifting heavy things and moving them around. That’s what our body responds to…. it really is that simple. Here are some of the craziest fitness contraptions been flogged today, I would hazard a guess that you will enhance your health more by laughing at these pictures than actually using them. Enjoy!

The Shake Weight– Because everybody knows that shaking a 2.5lb weight in your hand for 6 minutes will make you firm and fabulous!! And because its on TV it must be amazing!

The Bodyblade– This takes vibration training to the next level, shaking a huge piece of metal in your hand has got to be effective! After all because it oscillates it must be the go-to piece of fitness equipment for training!

 

Cool shapes– This has to be the most amazing piece of fitness equipment ever, as you may have heard being in the cold causes the body to burn more calories, why not strap some ice packs to your body after all its only logical. Forget working hard in the gym and sticking to a healthy eating plan just sit on your sofa and strap some ice to your body!

 

 

Leg Magic Ultra– The name really says it all, the most epic piece of fitness equipment ever! You move your legs inwards then outwards again and the result… a new toned body!

 

When push comes to shove and you want to transform your body nothing works better than a well constructed training plan and following healthy eating guidelines. I promise you that this will work far more effectively than buying some novel piece of equipment. If you are stuck with your training invest in a personal trainer and keep asking questions, you will then not only work effectively towards your goals but pick up knowledge that you can use for the rest of your exercising life.
