Circle Glide: Infomercial Review

Circle Glide: Infomercial Review

My sister is quite the fitness freak,but nothing excited her more about exercise than this Circle Glide product that she invited me to see. So I checked out the commercial online before going over to watch her on it.

This device has you stretching your legs way out and back in and then your whole waist-and-legs section twisting back and forth. To be honest, I understand why they only show women using the Circle Glide, because I don't know a guy coordinated enough to do those moves without falling and hurting something.

My sister, though, looks just as great doing the exercises as the girls on the commercial. Still, I found myself snickering a bit watching the infomercial.

"Do you wish there was a way to make working out a lot quicker and a lot more fun?" the commercial starts. Quicker, yes. More fun? No....just less painful. And again, from the male perspective, nothing about moving your body into those positions that God never intended looks even vaguely "fun."

Must be fun for the ladies, though. They all have this bizarre smile pasted on their faces as they exercise. Why is it that women in exercise commercials always smile all the way through it? I tend to grunt a lot when I exercise. And cry--lots of crying. Very little smiling.

Also amusing in the commercial: They promise that after using the Circle Glide you can feel confident wearing these short-short-shorts. Then they show the actual women who made the testimonials, and trust me, I wouldn't want to see ANY of them in short shorts.

I can't knock it,, because Circle Glide keeps my sister motivated in her exercise routine. Although even she doesn't really smile when she exercises.
