I've heard some shitty things from serious trainers. They all recommend just hitting the gym.

Anything is better than roids, though.

that comment doesn't really make any sense. you don't get buff just usin roids. roids just allow you to train longer and harder so you build mass quicker.

bowflex looks dangerous - the way the rods stick out and come down at the sides = moving parts pertrude = could seriously injure someone.

Must go to gym today!

Well, unless he has little kids running around, I don't think that should be a big worry.

Also, they make you really pleasant to be around, and give you a nice, steady happy feeling with no mood swings at all!

Or wait, was that the other way around...

Yeah. Steroids are sooooo cool.

Yeah, they are stupid, just like that comment.

It was meant to mean don't look for the easy way out.

With all these gadgets coming out on infomercials i wonder how many people actually buy them. no matter what they come out with nothing can beat going to the actual gym. imo

I guess it's just the convenience of not having to leave the house. Lame, real lame.... and lazy, well, except for when you are using it, but come on!

yea i see that is for convenience but i've heard it all from many people "i dont have time to go to the gym" that is almost always a lie. If somebody really wanted to work out they would be able to find the time to go atleast 3 times a week for an hour each time, lets just say 1.5 hours factoring in getting to the gym.
