SlimTs Men’s Body Shaping Tank Top claims you’ll instantly look pounds thinner and inches smaller without dieting or exercise. Even if you could tighten your waistline and trim down your love handles with this miraculous man girdle, would it be morally right? I mean, what is The American Man coming too? Would Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier have worn a SlimT under his buckskin shirt? Would Commander Neil Armstrong have worn a SlimT under his space suit when he took his first step on the lunar surface? Sure, they say that the Spandex-blend SlimT is not constricting, won’t raise body temperature and fits under all your regular clothing, but isn’t it cheating to forego diets, exercise and that yearly gym membership? I suppose you could just say that the twelve firming panels are a support for your back, or maybe a posture helper, but… well, I’m just sayin’.
Industry sources are telling us Flex Shaper is on the fast track to earning the title of most successful infomercial fitness product of 2010. We’re told the secret is the Flex Shaper’s unique combination of features and benefits: It’s compact and doesn’t take up valuable floor space. Stores anywhere. Combines resistance training and aerobic exercise for a complete workout that targets all your problem areas. And the low price makes Flex Shaper affordable for every woman who craves a toned, sexy body.
The Shake Weight is a serious fitness product for women. If seeing it in action makes you think of anything other than exercise, you have a dirty mind and should keep your filthy thoughts to yourself. That is all.
What’s old is new again. Isometric exercise has its roots in the Physical Culture movement of the 19th century, and in a modified form was promoted as Dynamic Tension by fitness legend Charles Atlas throughout most of the 20th century. According to Wikipedia,
The motto of isometrics should be “resistance is NOT futile.” ISO7X is a piece of fitness equipment mated with an exercise program that promises to mold you into an incredible hunk in just ten minutes a day of resistance exercises, each held for seven seconds. Is it too late for your Savvy Shopper to get revenge against that bully who kicked sand in my face all those years ago?
I don’t know if the P90X Extreme Home Fitness training program is better than other fitness regimens. But it’s certain that if you stick to your workouts for 90 days, you’ll see definite results. So the P90X system is definitely worth a look.
Here’s a report that ran a few minutes ago on CNN. I hadn’t previously heard about the piece of luggage hitting Billy in the head. I’m still in shock. So sad to read the tweets of Billy’s son. “My dad didn’t wake up this morning.”
I’m very sad to report that Billy Mays was found dead at his home this morning at 7:45 a.m. The cause of death has not been determined, but foul play is not suspected. Rest in peace, Billy. You were one of a kind, and we will miss your energy and enthusiasm.
I’m still avidly following Pitchmen, and I’m glad that YouTube member Gadgetglanman7 is as well, but I thought Pitchmen episode seven (originally aired on May 27, 2009) was a little thin. If I didn’t have a burning desire to learn more about the DRTV industry, I’m not sure I’d still be watching. Maybe a 13-show season was a little too ambitious. Anyway, I found this episode a little painful in spots, because I’d never want my debacles documented on a basic cable reality show. Forbes Riley seems like a very nice person, but this episode gives me the impression that she became too emotionally attached to her fitness product to make rational business decisions. She rejects good advice from the experts about lowering the price point for the Spin Gym, with unfortunate results.
Also, why don’t budding inventors and entrepreneurs ever seem to perform ftrademark searches BEFORE they settle on a name for their new product?
