We’ve seen (and even used) those “total gym” sliding exercise machines and remain dubious about the claims the manufacturers tend to make. At the same time we’ve begun to question how much of a workout the cardio trampolines really provide. But then this week we found a new trend in horizontal machines that utilize a trampoline as well. These are marketed under various names but use the same basic concept.
Perhaps there is some fitness benefit, but these cardio/pilates exercise machines cost anywhere from $800 to $1,300! That’s a considerable amount of money to slide back and forth on one’s back and kick off a trampoline. It reminds us of the disclaimer “actual results may vary.”
Kinetic(Mis)Shift are products that we think deserve to be called out for missing the mark in health related products.
