A Wheelie bad idea!!!!!! Golds Gym Exercise wheel

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: You could quite easily end up in traction!!!!! Awful, disasterous etc etc

Now this piece of kit is right up there with the most pointless, cheap, nasty and in my opinion dangerous pieces of equipment on the market. I almost laughed out loud when I first came across this and perhaps offers proof that some people will buy THE most pointless pieces of equipment known to man in the pursuit of physical perfection. My first thought was not that it was a piece of exercise equipment but rather a toy emulating the “Wheelies” from ...
...IT? You can’t really dress this piece of equipment up, it’s a plastic rod which has been put through a wheel. That’s it. You hold each side of the wheel and roll backwards and forwards and this action apparently works out the abdominal muscles. Essentially you become a wheelbarrow. Apologies for the crude analogy but that really is all there is too it. Gold’s gym however are much better at pitching this product. Here’s what they have to say about ...

Review of Timex Ironman Triathlon 50-Lap Sleek

Forearms like popeye....without the spinage

Advantages: You will be able to impress people with your jar opening abilities
Disadvantages: You may hurt people when you shake their hands

...tool I've ever seen. Bodymax handgrips are designed to strengthen the forearms and hands........but why? Is it for old ladies, so that they can open particulary stubborn jars of beetroot? perhaps its for men who require a quicker, more powerful "beer drinking" arm, or maybe its for teenage boys as these items seem to find there way into every adolescent lads room. Now who is it buying these things that seem to think teenage boys need help strengthening ...
...there thinking about buying these pointless little items, go for the jumper and socks, they will embarras your beloved grandchildern for much much longer than the bodymax handgrips. Hope that helps :) If you are interested £3.99 from amazon or 25p from the local car boot sale!!!!! Logan ...

No pain, no...loss!

Disadvantages: expencive, painful!!

...a new gadget - the Salveo Funkey Hula. It looked a little like a wavey hula hoop, and Carol seemed to be using it in the same way too. This green hoop intruiged me, so I decided to carry on watching. When I was told where I could buy this hoop from, I logged onto www.funkeyhula.co.uk as instructed. There I found out a little more about the device. The Funkey Hula, released early 2007, is basically a hula hoop! Though this one is a little more special, ...
...placed my order, paying a total of £29.99 for the hoop (free p&p), and waited less than a week for it to arrive. When you open the box, you will see that it is in half, so you have to mantle it yourself. It comes in five sections. When you have connected it, you need to fill up a little compartment with water. This is where you choose how hard you want to work. If you leave it empty, it will be a tough job to move the hoop and keep it upright, though ...
