Hey, another product that promises to "make exercise fun." The sad thing is that many people still fall for the myth that exercise can be fun. Enjoyable, even. A few of us, though, know this is impossible.
The product I'm talking about is CARDIO TWISTER. This is an exercise device that has a rotating handlebar and this "multi-directional step" device. Think of it as a torture device that twists your body in all kinds of positions you ever thought possible---all in the name of helping you lose weight. Also included with the system are two workout DVDs and meal plans.

My brother, by the way, is one who has fallen for the "lie" of fun exercise. After buying Cardio Twister, he insists that it has been more responsible than anything else for his weight loss. And he insists **snicker** that it IS fun. Poor brainwashed fellow.
Speaking of brainwashed, look at the ridiculous people in the commercial for Cardio Twister. Every single one of them has this ridiculous smile on their face, as they exercise. Now hear this, infomercial makers of the world: NOBODY SMILES while they exercise! Nobody! If you go into a gym and see a bunch of people, not talking to anyone, but just lifting weights or running on the treadmill, and smiles are on every face--you need to run. That's not a gym; it's a cult.
In fact, the people in this commercial are pretty much exercising by themselves--still smiling, though. And unless you've just seen or heard something funny, you don't usually do anything by yourself, smiling.
So what have we learned today? Despite my brother's assertion that he enjoys Cardio Twister: Exercise is not fun, people in gyms do not smile while working out, and people by themselves rarely smile at all. THERE'S a lesson for your next DVD.
