So I was bored and was looking around the internet for stuff to put on the blog and I wound up googling “stupid fitness - and man am I glad I did. Seriously, it kind of made my day. I laughed outloud reading the article below and watching the videos in it…especially the “iGallop”. Its amazing that people even come up with this stuff but what is more amazing is that people actually buy this stuff! Check it out…
Lose weight in your sleep! Build muscle while watching TV! Eat whatever you want without gaining a pound! Sound familiar? The health and fitness industry is so full of hype and hot air I’m surprised we even pay attention anymore. But we do. And a sucker is born every minute.
Behold! The Craziest Fitness Gadgets Ever:
The art of useless Japanese inventions known as Chindogu brings us a dumbell attachment for the telephone! If you wish you were building biceps instead of sitting in your cubical this stupid fitness gadget might be the answer to all of your problems. Sure, you’ll look like a tool and everyone in the office will make fun of you. But that’s not as important as those giant 12-inch guns you can develop every time you pick up the phone. But wait, it gets better… We’ll even have one of our “personal fitness trainers” call you every hour on the hour. That’s eight workouts for every day you’re in the office.
(note: only works on retro model phones. Must order iPhone attachment separately)

I’m gonna start spending my money on all that crap, and stop going to Spark. If the ads say it’s going to make me lose weight and get fit… it must be true
