Twitter topic of the day: Exercise "gadgets" and you

This post is my twitter daily tips / topic of the day. Follow me on Twitter @ezhomefitness

My #questionoftheday is how many of you have bought an exercise gadget that u used just once & didn't like or didn't find it as advertised?

The truth is that 95% of the exercise gadgets that you see on TV that are supposed to make exercising easier don't work & can hurt you. Feedback after feedback from people who get caught into buying the equipment find that the equipment doesn't make the exercise easier. In some cases, the equipment has actually caused the opposite effect of what it's supposed to make easier like strained necks, backs, etc. Now I'm not talking about some of the higher end products but moreso of the "gadgets", especially ones for the abs. These companies know that everyone is looking for that magic item that will "melt away" the pounds and "eliminate" inches, etc. These companies know that even if they offer a money back guarantee that people are too lazy to follow through with the refund requirements. So they make money off people's naivete and desepration to find that simple solution to lose weight, inches and get a great body. Very few of these things work as advertised. Save your money for what really works. Do you want to know what works? The same thing that has worked for years, decades even. Dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, your bodyweight, cardio and lots of HARD work and SWEAT! No magic solution! You are the solution!
