Last night, as I was trying to pay attention to the chat room, and one of those infomercials came on... something about "motionless exercise"... and I thought to my self..."What the fuck kind of crap is that?!"

According to the infomercial, it's a whole 7 minutes workout of standing still, without moving... and you're supposed to lose all this weight... and I'm thinking: "Well hell!! If that's the case then I should be nothing but bone and skin right about now!! I done spent like almost 30 minutes watching this crap!!"

So, then the part where it tells you how to order this thing comes on right?? and I am stunned to find out that the regular price for this thing is like $700.00!!!!

Well, the first thing I think is: "This thing HAS to work!! I mean, they're taking all your grocery money for like 2 months!! how can it not work?!" Right?!

I mean don't get me wrong, I would love to lose weight, and I think most of us that need to lose weight would love it if there was some magic way to do it... but, realistically, I don't think there is! And to think that there's people out there spending that kind of money on something like "motionless exercise" really makes me wonder... Is this all we've become?! Are looks THAT important to people that they are willing to spend that much money on something called "motionless exercise"??? I mean, we all know that saying... no pain, no gain. So, what goes through someone's mind when they decide to buy something like that?!

What do you think about this issue?

Would you spend your hard earned money on something called "motionless exercise"??

If so... How much of that hard earned money are you really willing to spend on things that, just by the name tell you that they will not work!?

I know what it is like to battle weight. After a few injuries, and getting older, it is hard to get it to come off. In the past I have done a lot of different diets, and diet aids. All but one diet aid worked but the company was run so bad thatit went under and I have not found the product at all anywhere else. Diet programs, I found that Weight Watchers is not just for women. I had lost a lot of weight in the past with them. Then I moved to here and did not keep up with it. My wife and I are starting up with them in Feb.
There is no fast cure or rapid weight lose program out there that really works. It just comes down to a few basic things, Protion control, and some kind of exercise program.

just another scam to get peoples money..if you want to lose weight you have to start at the source first and that would be the kind of food you eat, check out a book called The Goddess Diet for some very good advice on the topic...

I understand what you're saying, and I completely agree... diet "aids" are great!! And if done right, a lot of them can work... What I am talking about is spending $700.00 on something called "MOTIONLESS exercise" I mean c'mon!! Do you really think that's going to work?? That's like paying $ for those work at home programs that promise to make you rich without you having to work... It's bull!! That's just my opinion though.
